Uncle Sam was good to me this past tax season. I Was able to do a lot of mods especially with the audio and parts of my suspension.

Wheels:
I painted them this pass January, stored em', finally decided to mount them. Gives the car a dramatic new look. I'm still getting use to them. Custom center caps, because that's how I roll.

Grill/Badge:
My fake Active Tuning grill with Nismo Batz Maru badge. I have the traditonal badge but I wanted to sport these for now. Painted the grill with Duplicolor primer, black lacquer, and clear coat. I kept the lower aluminum grill. As you can see, I forgot to touch it up with paint before the pics.

Audio:
Two 10's G5 subs by Boston Acoustics
Alpine MRP-1000 amp
Alpine MRPF-250 amp
Four Polk Audio dB 6.5
Amps are mounted behind the rear seats on a wooden board covered in carpet. I'm still shopping for a head unit

Suspension:
KYB GR2 shocks/struts
Tein springs
RacingLine F/R endlinks and FSB
Progressive RSB

Fujita CAI, and murdered out roof trim

You know I gotta Haiku this:

Black rims in spring time
Ominus look for the Max
BBK's are next

 

More pics

 

Nooooice!!!!!

 

Not a big fan of the Nismo Batz Maru badge, but everything else looks great. Those wheels makes your car 100x better. Great work & photos bro.

 

Custom center caps FTW

That thing is smoking man.. nice job

 

nice work on the grille man. im gonna paint my grille too on my black 2007 maxima. and i wanted to see what it would look like but not i have an idea haha thanks man

 

Car looks great man. Keep up the good work!

-On another note, shouldn't this be in the Member's Rides section?

 

Nice rims, look really good

 

rims look great.. nice work

 

i don't know man, black rims, black grill, chrome led tailights? imo i think the red or black led taillights would look way better, but everything else is really nice. good work

 

damn i need to step my game up... looks good

 

The wheels and grille look great on the car...Black wheels always look good on silver

Maybe u could find someone who wants to swap chrome taillights for black or smoke

 

Fellas, You really think I'm gonna hit my ride with chrome when I have the black theme going on??? The tails are smoke not chrome.

 

I feel so stupid...lol

 

Looks sick man ! You should do a black trunk and roof spoiler. Shows you how nice nissan rims are. Just paint them and they look better than most after market performance wheels.

 

Very clean ride man...

 

Yo Gollum, i finally get to see the rims mounted... They look hawt man! Yo you gotta debadge that trunk man. loose that momo badge also. what made you go with the nismo batz maru badge for the grill you didn't like the other one?

So how do those subs sound with the amps and stock stereo system?

 

Batz is unique, I haven't seen one on any car. He will stay on for another week. I just may go badge less all away around.

The subs hits pretty hard. I have a Memphis amps/subs set up in my truck but the Max's set up totally PwNs. Single head unit or double D's? I can't decide.

 

go doube d's man... you did so much work already might as well go the extra step. so you debadgeing that trunk soon?

 

I'll probably do it this week. Any suggestions? I've read a few threads about de-badging but I'm unsure on which is the best way without frakin' it up

 

My opinion... rims look hot, especially the custom center caps. Grille is good. I dont mind the Nismo Batz Maru badge, but it looks just a tad too big. Audio setup is nice, should provide plenty of sound. But the tails look out of place for some reason. Theyd probably flow better if they had black housings. Overall its a pretty sharp ride.

 

You should black out your headlights.

 

car looks good. if you did the black headlight mod and the black roof overlay it would a lot better IMHO

 

I debadged my trunk with a flat wood chisel. I placed a cotton cloth behind the chisel so it wouldn't scratch the paint and it worked like a charm, no scratches and i could use back the badges if i want.

i think some auto stores like autozone sell a plastic tool which can be used to do this. prob cost around $5, but this is one mod that shouldn't cost you anything because it's so simple to do.

 

i would not suggest the chisel route. go with strong fishing line, goo gone a blow dryer and a whole lot of elbow grease

 

looking good man. badges must go..... I would suggest the new 07 lip...

 

love the wheels and the nismo badge. tints look nice too, did you go lighter on the fronts?

 

i'm not big on audio stuff but other than that the car looks good...

 

the ride looks great...not feeling the emblem on the front grill but it is def. unique!

 

love the rims.

 

Looks good. Lose the tails IMO. Go with smoked tails.

 

those are the smoke LED's...

Gollum, i think you might have to tint those babies... lotta bling showing through and i know that's not the look you going for.
