It's time for some updates, no? *pictures*

Well I decided to give a little update with some good pictures of the new e46 BMW Hamann sideskirts, single exhaust (muffler has since been changed already) and etc.. I will have some good engine shots as soon as I finish installing the rest of my chrome stuff, just some odds and ends left and a lot of cleaning. There are also some shots of my interior to show off the custom dash pieces, and a shot of the trunk with wheel in action.

Got some other goodies coming soon and will keep people posted.

the whole car flows. the lines of the side skirts work well with the front bumper, and i dont mind the single exhaust look. IMO getting the hood pins painted (either black to match the hood, or green to match the car) would keep the front looking cleaner. all together a hot car

Always thought you had a very nice car, and then I saw the inside.

Now I say you have a VERY nice car What kind of dash kit is that? Something you made yourself? Anyway something like that can be made for a 5th gen?

Are there any more up close pictures, or a diagram of the 24 parts included in the kit on their website? I take it, from the price, that it is molded?

This is Jeff, I run Evolution-Autodesign. The kit actually isn't molded. The price is because it is real aluminum which no one else offers (unless they distribute for us). You can't mold real metal unfortunately.

Like 2/3's of Jason's pieces are custom because of all the equipment he has.

= two of the many emoticons which describe me after looking at the pics. Your ride is incomprehensibly awesome and show worthy, without being "showy". The styling of your car and the amount of work that is evident in its appearence and performance ranks you in the top eschelon of all maximas. Truly something to make you go...

That is definately the best Maxima on the Org without a doubt. Everything works.

Have you ever though about the chrome Cefiro rear view mirrors? I think that would enhance the elegance of your car even more.

Ever figure out how much you've pumped into that thing (obviously you don't have to answer)? I'd estimate about 30K including all the other stuff you've done in the past. What I like about the car is that I know a lot has been invested, but the tweaks are just "so right" that it looks like a factory tuner/show car in a way (much the way prototype cars are shown before production). It doesn't look like "oh I'll add this", "tack this on", "add three of these", etc. It's hard to descride.

I take lots of time and pride in my car as well as the photography.. I have always had the notion that the car makes the pictures, but without good pictures the good car never shows through.. thanks.

That could be one of the best compliments I have ever gotten. I actually don't think I have seen those mirrors, but I am looking into it right now; I know simon (sycefiro sp?) pretty well It is weird but I was talking to a good friend of mine, today, about how my car went through the stages of just slapping things on to slap them on (ie graphics, lights and other worthless things ), and now has it has kind of graduated to incorporating everything together and making sure it all flows well. It is nice to know the hard work shows through and that it achieves the goals it was built for.. It seems like anything from here on out, and in the past few months is either fully custom or a no go, I guess I have graduated to that stage of the game.

I would agree around 30k is a good estimate, in the past 6 months I dropped 10k, so that is a big chunk (ouch my wallet still hurts).

Hey, did you ever post some pics of your chromed turbo pipes. I haven't seen how they turned out yet. Rest of the car looks amazing...much better than your ghetto'd out days making me design you Cusco 3 color graphics that look heinous even on the race car.

Also, I guess the 3rd redesign of the center console piece we made for you finally fit. Either that or you tweaked it pretty well yourself.

I should have pictures tomorrow.. i will add them to the front page and to a post at the end. It turned out nice and shiny

Thanks again for ALL of your help, the car wouldn't be boosting if it wasn't for all your hard work. And the graphics, great times.. haha.. the dash came out perfect the 3rd time around.

Jason isn't the one saying he's the best, so you can't hold that against him. He's just posting pictures per everyone's request. You'd be surprised at how many requests he gets for pics.

And Albert's car is very, very nice. I've helped him do a lot of work to it, heck, I sponsor him because it's a nice car. But him and Jason are going two different routes. And Jason's car has more custom work. Jason's been doing it for longer, I'm sure next year Albert's car will be way different too. Remember, there were earlier "uglier" versions of Jason's car
