jxkim 96 kh3 maxima. before and after (part I)

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

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

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.
