Quick pictures of my '97 Warning 56K

Here are just a few pictures of my 97 Max. Not for 56K. What mods do you all think I should do next?

White Maxima's always look great Extra bonus for you being that its a 5 speed.

IMO, you should do the AE mod to match the dark corner lights (which look pretty cool).

Car looks great, do suspension and rims first unless all you care about is performance. Also, get some red/clear tails.

Man, everytime I see a beige interior I am struck by how ugly the combination of beige, brown, and BIG BLACK steering wheel is...ugh! Maybe you should consider a black leather interior swap!

Only good shot of my interior is when it was stock:

Is the AE mod where you paint the outer parts of your headlights?

ypipe first, then MEVI or 00VI. =)

for cosmetics, I agree with some others on here that you should perform the AE mod on your headlights and corner lights.

You need red/clears...you need to de-rust some of the stuff in your engine bay and clean it up a little bit (not hideously dirty, though) and you need to get those missing interior pieces. You probably didn't notice they were missing, did you? In the last picture...next to the gas pedal...there should be a small interior panel covering up everything except the black air vent in the foot well. Notice the two little brackets/screw holes?

Keep it clean

Working on the red/clears for Christmas. How can I de-rust some of those pieces in the engine bay?

Ahh maybe that why I keep getting my foot stuck under there when I go to shift and my foot stuck on the pedal holding the gas. Is there only one piece or more than one that goes there?

Either way, it gives your car a much "sharper" look and can be done for chump change.

Nope, just one piece. It's held in by two plastic screw-things, so you'll need those too...or some equivelantly sized metal bolts.

If you use metal bolts, just grab a matching nut and stick it on the other side of the plastic and tighten it down. You may need to use washers to give a big enough flat area to cover the holes in the plastic panel, though. They're not big, just oval-shaped and kind of wide.

If you're going to bother with putting in that plastic cover for aesthetics, you should also get the clips from Nissan because silver bolt heads will look terrible there, IMO.
