Do you by chance have a part number for those wheels? Are they still being made brand new? I am having trouble finding them or just not looking good enough.

This is my 3rd Max - 2016 SV. I previously had a 2010 SV in Ocean Grey and a 2012 SV/Sport in Ocean Grey.
The dealer had the back windows tinted and the night time pics are before the front was done. Daytime pics are after I got the front done. 3M Film 35% front & 5% rear.
I hate Nissan's navigation and I Bluetooth all my audio, so I've had a tablet in the car for the past 6 years. It was much easier to mount in the 7th gen since the display was way up top separate from the controls (I mounted it using the CD slot). In my 8th Gen (pics below) I used a magnetic phone mount above the front iPod cubby. It is the best option I've come up with so far in this new configuration without blocking any vents/controls.

A little confused with the tablet mounting position. Do you now have it mounted using cd slot or where it shows in your pics? If mounted up where the cd slot is, can you send pics of it. Will it hold a Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet up in the cd slot?
Tia,

Hey Ian... Sorry for the confusion. In my 7th Gen I fashioned a mount using the CD slot because it didn't cover the display, vents, or any controls. In the 8th Gen, I just used a magnetic phone mount above the front cubby where the iPod goes, and ran the power cord from an adapter in the center console. I lose access to putting anything in that cubby without moving the tablet, but this way I'm not covering any vents or the main display. There are CD slot mounts available that will fit, in fact I just saw another post where someone used one https://maxima.org/forums/8th-genera...ml#post9096250, but I don't like it in front of the vents or up that high where's its more visible to a potential thief.

Check the last 4 pics in my post above. Ideally it's not as 'solid' as I would like, but it does the job. I generally use voice commands for navigation, and I don't change my music playlist/station very often so it hasn't been an issue.

can you tell where you purchased the mount?

Hey guys, just bought a '17 Maxima SV. I switched 3 cars under a year, and I know this one is definitely a keeper 
I bought an Accord Sport last October and started having lower back problems because of the seat's contour. So I traded in the Accord for a 2017 Rogue SL, which was a really comfortable car, but severely under powered. And now that I got the Maxima, I finally know what I've been missing. Took a road trip to NYC from Philly this weekend and definitely felt great overall. I averaged 33mpg on the Turnpike, which is on par with the 4 cyl Accord I had and the Maxima hasn't even been broken in yet. Enough of me talking, and here's the pics:

I got my maxima last august and I'm now approaching the 1 year of ownership mark and i love the car. So... my mods: XPEL front half + windscreen PPF, window tint, front lip, side stripes, custom steering wheel wrapped in alcantara, reflective brake callipers, tire stickers, Alloygator rim protectors, blacked out side skirts, tinted tailights, blacked out emblems on the trunk, and finally HKS burnt exhaust tips. Would like your thoughts on the mods so far and future mod suggestions (except new wheels because i prefer the ride quality of the OEM 18" wheels as it is my daily driver).
