It all looks great! Are those just OE size slotted rotors, or are they bigger? Maybe the look bigger b/c they are all clean and not rusty. They look really nice either way.

I hope those rotor hats won't rust on you.

Can't afford to donate them, but I am looking to sell them... They even have the brake hoses still attached... I upgraded to stainless braided lines, also.

Looks good. Those "maxima" stickers on the rear side lights could go too.

Your rotors looks good. Your car definately looks better with the Murano wheels than those red wheels you had on. Great Job bro.

Are the slots going the wrong way or im I looking at it wrong? Maybe I just have the wrong info. I thought the slot contacts from the outer edge then in to the center.

Edit: After a quick search I was mistaken and they are in fact correctly installed and look great.

They look pretty good on your car because it's silver, not sure how they would look on any other color Max though...
