Well, it's been real...GOOD-BYE!

Well, this forum has been outstanding to say the least. The wealth of knowledge, the warm receptions and the friends I have made has made my Maxima experience one that I will never forget. It’s almost as if this forum and my car go hand-in-hand….can’t have one without the other.

That being said, I regret to inform you that I have just picked up a new ride…..a Mercedes Benz CLK 430 with lots of goodies. I got an offer I couldn’t refuse from a good friend of mine and this thing rocks. Anyway, thanks for all the awesome advice over the years!

Respectfully,

Beautiful car...need to send it to Renntech and have them do this to it:

Nothing like a 7.4L V12 to speed it up a bit.

Dude, how much lower do you want the car to be? there is already no wheel gap as it is... I think it looks damn good just the way it is...

I hope you enjoy your new ride. That is one sweet looking ride. Mercedes seem to have one of the best factory paint jobs along with BMW. That car should look sweet for many years. Have fun

Wow, thanks for all the kind replies. I guess it is an upgrade, but I got an awesome deal from a college friend....$25K. Man, the thing has some *****. As for the comments on doing more to it, other than an AMG intake and exhaust, it's done! Anyway, thanks again..
