That car looks really nice. I like TL-S better though. But that car is modded perfectly.

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

So, you're not into my Maxima or just Maxima's in general? East coast style thing? WTF are you talking about?

Yeah, how many white Maxima's have you seen with Mods? Do you know anything about wheels? They build wheels to "curve" inward like you say because the offsets dictate that is needed if you're also designing a wheel with a lip. 95% of your posts on this forum have been negative, so once I see you say something constructive or benefical, I'll act like I care.

 

I like nicely modded maximas in general, and wasn't bashing yours just for being stock. I even gave props for the work you guys did on the Maxima and CL.
I've seen a lot of maximas with mods. Quite a few people have posted pics. And yes, i do know a lot about wheels. The ones with spokes inward is just for the appearance of having a large "lip." A quality wheel with a low disk, even if high offset, can have a good amount of lip. The entire face of the wheel is recessed, and they're usually made for the rear since brake clearance would be limited.
And btw, i do try to keep all the comments constructive. Perhaps people only want to hear that their car is the coolest on earth, even if it's totally the opposite. Just opinions though, so it's all good. Keep up the great work on your car!

 

that car is looking sick....usually I dont like chrome rims but they look good, especially with the color of the car.

BTW, are those the same rims that are on the new SRT Grand Cherokee?

 

Na, these were the Axis Hagens. He sold them in July.

 

saw both cars the first time the thread was posted forever ago,.... both cars look great. its nice to see something nicely done that isn't a maxima for a change

 

d@mn that CL-S is fine as hell

 

looks really good but i like max's better but still he did a good job!!

 

Valve cover painted to match or come that way? I love the color on the CL...rare color. Nice to see one thats not black or silver.

 

Good Job, and Nice upgrade. Especially with the damages, and exhaust. Keep it up...

 

that car is sexy man

 

I love that color and i think that the chrome goes very well with it. Sexy car....

 

my impressions:

tim, your car looks great, as always.

your buddys...eh...

- I still hate chrome wheels, and that design would look better in gunmetal...

- Engine bay looks really nice

- I like the Thermal exhaust better than the other.....the new ones look like twin bazooka launchers...a bit of overkill IMO.

- that license plate looks like a way of attracting the wrong attention. Does your buddy road race?

Road racing = on a real racetrack 'road course'

Street racing = ricers dragging on public roads...

 

I always liked those CL-S's.

 

Thanks. Can't wait to see what it looks like with the new wheels

Yeah, he's a piece of work, believe me.

I wasn't too crazy about them when he decided to pick them up either. Just glad he sold them. I've also mentioned to him that I think gunmetal would look better.

With the car having most of the front end components replaced during the repairs, it's basically new again. The painted engine cover adds a bit as well.

The Thermals really began to rust. The new setup doesn't look too bad in person really.

He road races sport bikes. He's been doing so for about 15 years or so. He actually just bought a new R6 race bike a few weeks ago to race this season. I'll be heading to Michigan for a few of those this summer.


Thanks for the comments guys.

 

I like the max and I like the Acura but I'm not fond of the new wheels. Nice color, tho.

 

mmmmm delicious... that car is one sexiness that cannot be refuted... it seems to be the same length as ur 5th Gen Max, I guess thats what a Max would look like if it was a coupe... how fast does both ur cars run for?

 

i remember seeing his car on I-70 and it looked sweet as hell rollin on those chrome rims. i think a black shiney wheel would look good too and get rid of all the chrome.

wow this thread is kinda old haha

 

me personally dont like the chrome grill and the next thing i would do is clear those headlights. and the license plate is just asking for more attention

 

The chrome trim around the grille is stock. All that was added was the mesh insert. He road races bikes and has had this plate for 5 years. Oh, 0 tickets. Also, he doesn't go around "racing" other cars, that's why he has motorcycles.

 

wow the grille looks terrible, only gripe about it.. nice car though..

 

Few new ones

 

nice! what happened t oyour buddy's hagens? I hope he's getting some new rims!
