10 character

 

well we gonna let all the Mike's go first so im up next
unforunately i've lost a TREMENDOUS amount of pics towards when i started modding earlier so you will see rapid changes

first week i bought her back in August 13th 2003. 22k on the clock and $14,000 cashed out !



bone stock BEGGIN to be spoiled with mods !



i wanted to save up for the REAL mods as i took care of the minor things here and there preparing the max for the real changes. so i started slow........ maxima.org stickers, clear corners and red/clears !

 

followed by Otto Racing FSTB, Injen Intake, WSP Y, 15%, brembo rotors, new pads which unfortunately i lost the cd that had all the pics on !!

then came that mighty stillen kit. one of the more pricey mods ! followed by window spoiler, silverstars and a few other things





now that it was prepared for the REAL visual mods, i stopped effin around. within a day went from 4x4 on 16"s to slammed on 19"s

 

and once you get to the top of the hill, you know where you go afterwards......... yup back to the "less" expensive mods again !



Greddy SP2 was next up

and since then mods been flowing in, which is the reason im calling quits.
HID heads, HID fogs, CE glass headlights and corner lamps, viper 791xv, 7" Kenwood dvd, 9" headrests





Before & After

didnt stay stock for too long, added my rice can muffler and rice altezza taillights, and DC bumper lights:

next i added 2002 maxima rims and gen 2 tails:

some nice dark 15% tint, added my CAI, de pinstriped it, rewired bumper lights, installed my 4 new pioneer tsa 6.5 speakers, did a lot of small stuff:

 

then, about 2 months ago, i dropped on h-techs and tokico blues, and got 2 new 10in mtx thunder subs:


Next, I debaged it, and Added some custom made nice lookin DTM tails, also finished my exhaust - Warpspeed Y, Flowmaster DeltaFlow 40 Series

These rims were made for maximas:




HELL YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Here was my funky looking Maxima:
1)

Stock with rims.
2)

Put clear bumper lights on and added a ghetto ludalip...eww.
3)

Added a gutter gaurd "grille."
4)

Got rid of the rims and painted the hubcaps graphite lol.
Here's a pic of my engine, I liked it:

 

a short one of mine:

previous cars were 1970 Triumph GT6, 1989 Honda Civic Lx (new at the time), 1990 Plymouth Voyager Turbo (pimp van), late-80s Lancia Delta Integrale (the year slips my mind right now for some reason), 1987 Acura Integra (college beater), 1992 Honda Accord LX Coupe (post-college beater) and then the Maxima. Also still own 2 Triumph GT6s and my wife's Mazda3s.

Sock + roof rack


Old school: pretty much stock with roof rack, smoked corners, tint and Lamin-x'd fogs...OEM headlights, etc


Early '05: G35 18's, 02-03 HIDs, Yellow fog bulbs, no lamin-x


Early '06: three looks: 3-season, autocross (without rack though), and winter wheels. Maxspeed springs, stock exhaust, etc...


Current: Pretty much everything in my sig...FC exhaust, rack off to save gas when not being used, cleared HIDs, some other stuff

 

When I first got her:



Add leather:





After adding many more things, Cattman Y-Pipe, Cattman Cattback, dropped on Eibachs and Toks, added spoiler, rims:Mille Miglia VR 5's 18's, fogs, RSB,FSTB, tints. This car has gone from a weak looking regular run of the mill GXE to a nice GXE.
