Thanks guys. I'm very, very pleased with the paint job. No runs,drips,overspray at all. I did warn them that I'm a little **** and would be goung over every inch of the car.
I have a lot of things I'd like to do but there all pipe dreams. I'm dertermined to get that 2002 motor 6spd under my hood as soon as there more readily available.
Your max is sick man! I mean what else is possible for you to do to it?? Anymore plans???

Cumalot, How do you like your CF hood? Have you got hoodpins for it since Turbomax's hood flew off? That story scared me so I put them in.

The Max looks really good. I really like the paint. They did an excellent job in the door jams and it looks like a nice, clean job. I really like the look of the car without the body side moldings. I like the gauge cluster, and your leather. The wheels look great on the car, and that engine picture is beautiful.
Some of the things that I personally don't like are the steering wheel, and the missing Nissan logo on the front grille. I'm also not a real big fan of the Carbon Fiber hoods, but it does look good on the car. The plate re-location is cool, too, but I think it looks better on the bumper. I hope I didn't offend you by saying that, because the car looks awesome. I'm just mentioning the things that I wouldn't do to my car.
Later,

it looks sick! very very nice.
At first I could place my finger on how your rear end looks different, then I read the rest of the thread and saw that you relocated your plate.
I don't know if that looks good or not, but definately makes the car look different. I guess cause none of us are used to that look since we have never seen it before, we are on the fence about it.
I love your headlight washers and radar-detector placement..really really clean!
How did you install the headlight washers anyway??

Blue!
How did I know it was going to be blue!
No offense, really ... but why do people always pick blue for a repainted color? I mean, it's a good color, but ... BLUE!
Other than that, it's cool. Plate relocation, like Nick said, is great.
I've always wondered how it would look with the plate on the trunk and it looks good.
I was never a big fan of those aftermarket steering wheels. And after my accident, I'd take an airbag to the face over a busted nose anyday.
Headlight washers are cool too.
But ... blue!
In before people say, "Why you dissing on his Max?"

I've always wanted a blue max but could't find one with my options. I wanted a color that would stand ou but not be really flash. I have to say that the pics really don't do the color justice. You have to see it. On a sunny day it looks light blue and at dusk it looks like the IS300 blue.

I wish the hood could be better like the fitting for example. I'll just ordered a set of hood pins, the Sparco hood pins. Which ones did you get? I still like hood though. It's something that's very rare on a Maxima.

BEAUTIFUL CAR! CONGRATS!
I must say, everything looks amazing.
But you knew it was coming....why the blue?
Everyone lately goes for the blue...I haven't seen an original color on a repainted max in..like...forever?
Everyone makes fun of light green, yellow, even red sometimes. But how long will it be untill blue becomes "the rice color"?
No offense to ANYONE that has their car repainted blue, your cars are amazing...but you know, its all the same...
Not that I should be talking.
WEll, if you can afford it, go for it and enjoy it. Everyone is entitleed to their opinions and their likes.

His car is better than mine for sure. K pazzo I think just a total repaint can go anywhere from 2500-5000 depending on the color and things like if you want the engine compatment painted(requiring engine removal) I'm not even sure what I paid cause I had them do all that other stuff.
Black019It's a VW color. I believe it's called electric blue, on 98-01 Bugs. Maybe on their other models to I'm not sure.
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
