'95 Maxima, First Pics

These are the first shots of my '95 Maxima. I have had him for two years and am just now starting to do some mods. Nothing too exciting yet, Full LED interior, painted OEM rims, clear bumber lights, smoked tails(looking for red/clears), OEM fogs, engine bay work, I-30 Auto dimming mirror, little things like that. He need to go to the body shop, lots of dings when i bought him.

Over all, what do you think so far?

I kinda dig the sawblades painted like that. Clean ride man. A mild drop would be nice. And maybe 97-99 headlights. Thats about it though.

Great start. Nice job on the wheels.
The spark plug cover looks okay except for the black part. He should have just masked it off.

Its a start. Interior LEDs and engine bay look pristine. The body on the other hand, needs some work.

I loved how easy it was to replace the lights behind my guages on my previous 4th gen. The painted sawblades are looking solid, I think a subtle drop would complement them very nicely!

not bad, but def. needs new paint, atleast do some touch up to hide all of the black rock chips/scratches.

Great job on the engine bay.

I agree, I asked him to just mask it off, but then i left the house to get some parts and when i came back, thats what i saw. :/ But he has helped me so much on my car, i cant really complain.

painted sawblades look kinda sick even though i don't like them on a white car. i would like to see them on a slammed black max.

color on the valve cover seems kinda random. not a fan.

not bad overall.

i would simply suggest to stay away from black/gunmetal. silver, diamond cut, color matched, or even chrome would be my choices depending on what look you are going for. the black/gunmetal look on non-matching color cars has never been hot imo and now it's too the point that that's all you ever see.

of course i'm only offering this opinion because you asked. if you have a certain look in your head and you can execute it well then go for it.

I almost went with white(i had the cans in my hand then decided to go with black), but i was not sure how it would have looked. Are there any other white max's on here with the white rims? I would love too see what it looks like.

Thanks for the opinion, i really do appreciate it. If there are ever any mor suggestions please let me know, im up for anything
Im extremly excited about a 3.5 swap, and perhaps a 5spd swap as well.....what would you think of that?

Nope, 95-96's for sure for sure. I do need the little trim pieces though.
