so heres the story. i bought this 96 maxima sept of 2006. wasnt in the best condition and ive spent a good amount of time and money fixing her up. she started as a dirty gxe. major mods include gr2s w/ vogtland springs, budget ypipe, greddy sp2 catback. rest of my money has been spent for maintenance and fixing/replacing old parts.

old photos were taken with my sidekick. i have not posted pictures of my car on the forums till now. i plan on taking more pics of my car but i will post some of the recent shoot as a sneak preview. the shoot didnt come out as great as i hoped so i will try again tomorrow. (hopefully... if weather holds up) the pics were taken by a buddy of mine. he tried to do some stuff with wide angle lens in some shots. its his first time shooting a car so below were a few we managed to salvage. the setting and lighting were difficult to work with... well hope you enjoy

 

 

That second to last picture is SWEET! Great job, coming along good. Keep up the good work.

 

sweet pics.. are you using a fish eye lens? cause if not, damn, you got mad camber issues

 

i agree with the 2nd to last picture. the mill shot. nice car, like the dash lights.

 

Looks good. I actually never liked that insert in the grille...other than that...good job.

 

yea i believe the first 2 shots were using wide angle lens. it gives a really cool effect but definitely distorts the car. many of the wide angle lens shots came out bad either making my car look like a stretch limo or like something from the movie "cars". but i love that sky in the 2nd shot

 

that second to last shot is really sweet....woulda been perfect if you took the crap off the passenger seat.

 

Looks great John, good work.

 

Awsome pics. Any advice on how I can switch mine up to the amber gauges and switches?

 

yea. i still saved it tho

 

Loving the orange interior treatment, very well done!

 

its actually red. well when i bought the leds and etc i bought "red". i think the pic makes it come out a lil orangeish. well many refer to reddish colors as orange. to me orange is amber. i love that shot as well.

 

Gotcha. I'm considering re-doing my interior in red. Are the gauges truly "red" when lit? I have an issue now with an all-white LED interior that the gauges have a blue-ish hue to them at night due to the slight tint of the numbers.

 

Your Max is looking great John.Btw,are you still rockin those leather skins that I sold you if so,how are they holding up.

 

whats up. yep i still using the seats. im looking to find a new set of front tan leather seats. or just the back portion really. thanks for the compliments. i saw u moved on to the 5th gen

 

she's come a long way. looking very nice.

 

hey man me n u have almsot the exact license plate instead of 24 mine is 20 lol!!!!

 

did you do this in photoshop?

 

do what? i believe my friend edited the levels etc because bad lighting etc. the shot was taken with a wide angle lens if youre referring to the shot.

for part II of new pictures i promised

 

love the pics. make them availible in high rez for wall papers...and get rid of the stuff in the front seat. personally i'd love to trock something like that as my wallpaper. it would be even better if it could go across 2 1600x1200 displays...hot.

 

i have huge hi res snaps on my computer. just let me know what pic and ill do it when i get a chance. any specific details on preference is welcomed. or i can send you the original hi res pic and knock yourself out on photoshop
