Thank you lowriderman hey I was thinking last night what we going to do for spare tire?😀 ur oem maxima is not going to work no more i was thinking to get one of a g37s to they have a lot on ebay but there not cheap
Haven't updated this thread in a while even though Ive done quite a bit of mods. Since my last update I had the entire car vinyl wrapped in a nice grey color that resembles audis nardo grey. Ive installed a 370z Akebono BBk in red and also installed Tein coilovers to eliminate tire gap. Let me know what you guys think!
Looks great! Very classy. I wasn't sold on the looks of the new 8th Gen. I might actually consider upgrading from my 7th Gen when I'm in the market for a new car. Love the gray. Good job!
Here's mine, I recently got the stock 18"s powder coated semi-gloss black.
Besides tint, I've also done chrome delete on the door handles and rear chrome pieces with Plastidip.
Thanks I appreciate that! Its funny you bring that up because my guy told me the same thing. He said he will wrap it but will not warranty it. So far it has held up just as good as everything else but it has only been like 2-3 weeks so im not sure how it would hold up long term. I personally think itll be fine as long as your gentle in that area while washing.
How'd that vinyl wrap hold up? Going to get everything done tomorrow
Hey faze. I came across this picture from spoiler King and it looked familiar. I know you've done a lot of work and changes to your car since the original setup. Is this your car? Do you own this wing? If so, do you like it? What can you tell me about installation and/or anything else to know. If it's not your car and just super coincidental, please disregard. Thank you
Is not my car i like black but i will never change the color on my red jejeje but i got the same wind looks great it fit perfect but you have to paint it i got it from spoiler king to i paint my gloss black
Hi Faze, Great looking car. I’ve admired it for a while now. I drove a ’99 SE Ltd. up until about 8 years ago, but never modded it. Gave it to my father to enjoy.
Anyhow, if you don’t mind answering, I have a couple of questions for you. I’m probably picking up a Silver or White SL in the next 3-4 months. I’m mocking up what I’d like to do to it. I see you have the Stillen splitter on your car. Is it wrapped or painted? I intend to add it as well, but want the two end sections at the wheel well to color-match the body and the middle section be gloss Black (see bad Photoshop below). Which method would you recommend to achieve the best result?
Lastly, there’s a bunch more mods I intend to do (chrome delete interior of headlights, add halo, blackout roof, etc.) I assume you do all your work out on the Island, I will do research myself, but was wondering if there is a shop outside LI you’d recommend?
Appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks

I like that. Not really interested in customizing our car but it looked alot better with black wheels. Probablly do the same thing in satin finish. I might also take the emblems off the truck.
I can't believe I am saying this but I will probably tint the windows as well. Texas heat is brutal and with a black interior I probably better go ahead and do this.

Sorry for the late response. I don't come on here often. 'm pretty sure a quality vinyl shop can achieve the look you mentioned. I think that would be your best bet since vinyl is a little more forgiving when it comes to rock chips and such. My splitter is painted but shows wear after only a couple of months. As for a shop I recommend what area are you exactly from?
Sorry, but those skinny tires on those wide rims look terrible. Why not get a proper size rim???
No need to be sorry everyone is entitled to their own opinion. To answer your question the whole point is that wide rims are more concave which is the look i wanted in the rear but i couldnt fit a fat tire back there to match so i had to stretch the tire to make it fit without rubbing...

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it. I'm in the lower Westchester in Mamaroneck.

Were the brakes a direct bolt on or were modifications needed? Also do you have the part number of the kit you installed?

I'm not familiar with that area sorry. I go to a place called exclusive vinyl on long island.

Around 2,500. And if installed and uninstalled properly no. It actually protects the paint.

Just the dust shields needed to be trimmed to accommodate the bigger rotors. Other than that direct fit. They are from a 370z. I bought them from z1 motor sports.com

Were any extra parts needed other than what comes with the kit? I see options for extra add ons on their site. Like the banjo bolts, are they needed? Planning on doing this mod early spring when I'm done with cosmetic and other performance mods.

Yea u need the banjo bolts and while ur in there i would do stainless steel brake lines also. Makes a big difference. Also make sure ur wheels clear the brakes. The are much bigger than stock brakes. Your stock wheels wont fit without 20mm spacers all around so keep that in mind. To be safe u need a 370z or g37 spare tire also

Thanks for the info man I appreciate. Exactly why I want to wait until the spring when I get wheels and then can do this mod without worries.
