New pics of my daily driver - 95' Maxima

My family has had quite a history with this car. My uncle remembers driving it off the lot in 95, and my dad bought it in 96 with 11,000 miles.

Now at 235,081 miles and going strong, i'm quite happy with it being my daily driver (as all of you kitted/lowered guys know how much of a relief it is sometimes to drive something at normal height around town for once).

Ofcourse i couldn't keep it stock, so spare parts off my 97 were perfect. Can't beat FREE mods sitting in your garage.

So..
-16" Stock 5spokes
-Clear Bumper Lights
-Silverstar Bulbs
-Duralast Battery
-Tint

Very nice. I'd love to have a second Max as a beater

Unrelated to the beater, how well do those clearance lights match your headlights? Your headlights are AE'd OEM ones, right?

Yeah they are factory headlamps that i AE'd, so they don't quite match up to brand new corners. I'm thinking about getting New AE lights so it matches better...soon as i can find someone to buy mine.

It looks better than the 97

Its a fed spec too! Thats a good start for a 1/4 mile dragger. Dare I say NX and slicks.

The car looks to be in great shape.
I think you should just cut 1/2 a coil off the auto springs and call it good. I dont think youll notice a drop with the 5spd springs. I know I dont.
