My new Maxima SL

Newbie here. Been on board for a short while and enjoying the info everyone shares. About a month ago I picked up this '17 SL.
So far.. I've added premium lip spoiler from Spoiler King (Amazon), upgraded foootwell, license plate and reverse lights with LED from Diode Dynamics and just did 35% 3M Color Stable tint all the way around.
Last thing for me is an upgrade to headlights to HID.
Many advice would be appreciated. Thanks Everyone. Factory-installed Chrome Rocker Panels
35% 3M Color Stable Tint all the way around
Factory-installed Rear Diffuser

Tokhij25--I believe it was $295 for rear diffuser.. however it was indicated on sticker that it was a factory install along with chrome rocker panels. What headlights are you running with? Getting H11 HIDs installed Saturday... can't wait.

How much you pay for it with those on? I paid 35,500 OTD 0%apr deal.
And yes, 4 H11s LED. They are 2 in each lamp. Mine start at cool white but can flick them to yellow lol. Pretty neat from amazon. Car rover brand. Love em. Have the spoilerking SR model spoiler but unpainted. Need to find someone cheap to paint and install.

Sweet ride DeLuc05 I just purchased a 2016 SL same color and specs. All I need is the spoiler. Did you have a shop install the wing or did you do it yourself?

Thank you!... I installed myself. It was a two man job for me.. Spoiler King spoiler was $99 on Amazon.. perfect color match.. template for drilling holes was easy to use. BUT... the holes were a serious ***** to get to and the small bolts weren't helping matters much. One we secured the wing, I spliced the wires to existing brake light connector and took out the 3rd brake light in rear window and installed the cover ($8 at beeline parts).

Pearl white looks looks awesome with this car. I would have considered the color myself. But, our last car was pearl white and I fell in love with the deep blue when I seen it.

Don't paint it, just have it wrapped.

This look amazing. Been going back and forth with this idea since before getting the car. How close of a match is the wrap to the gloss black paint?
Also.. what bulbs did you use for Fogs?
I just had HIDs installed for low beams yesterday and love it.. looks amazing and the performance is 100x better than halogen. Avoided the LED headlights due to the fact the SL has projectors.
