Just detailed and lookin fine -- '97 Sage Mist

So, the Maxima was left with me this week so that I could detail it. Started Monday morning, finished late Tuesday. The car was washed, clayed, polished, washed again to get rid of any dust left from polishing, sealed, and then waxed. Overall I am pretty satisfied with the results. There are still some deeper swirls that I couldn't get out with my current polishing setup, but the paint has much more depth and clarity now. Here are the pics, enjoy!

Looks really good! I noticed that your wheel wells are still dirty though. A quick wash and some tire dressing on the wheel wells would be a nice finishing touch, if you don't mind some constructive criticism.

Actually, yes. Max is dropped on H&R springs and Tokico Illumina shocks. Thanks!

Looks really good. Keep the mudflaps, they look good.

Are you running stock tire size 215/55-16 or something else? Maybe it's the aggressive tread pattern that makes them look wider and lower profile.

Yeah, they are 215/55. The tires are Hankook k106's.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

And in case anyone is wondering, this car has the grey/green interior. These are a few pics after a quick wipedown and vacuum. I need to make time to go pressure wash the mats. Other than that it is pretty clean.

Yep. It's a B&M, so it's about 1.5 inches shorter. If you search in the 4th gen forum you can find the thread I posted recently(relatively) about it.

I'm loving it. How 'bout you? Have you been running around with the stock **** on or Z32? Also have you ordered those boots yet? Let me know how things are going!

I didn't like the Z32 **** coming from the AE **** at first, but I've seen the light. I'm putting in some Amsoil GL4 soon, I like it but shift effort is significantly increased. Still enjoying it besides that though.

I haven't ordered the boots yet, I'm a little iffy on whether or not I want to spend another $70 on this.. I do not like the way the stock boot looks though, especially with the Z32 ****--it's too thin coming off the shift rod and just looks goofy.
