Enough BS, Fast1one's 1998 A32 Overhauled
It took a while to get this one picture; waiting for parts to come in, scheduling a time around our school schedules to take pictures, etc. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating so I am not really satisfied with the pictures that I have right now. Here is my favorite of the bunch:



What I did:
  • JIC FLT-TAR VIP Coilovers
  • 1995-96 front end conversion
  • O.Z. Pegasus 3-piece in 17x9 ET+24 wrapped in 225/45 Kumho SPT
  • New O.E. Headlights
  • Removed rear tailight tint
  • Removed Resonator
  • Added Flowmaster classic 40 series
  • Exterior repainted

Special Thanks: Michael (formerly BLACKonBLACK98) of Avant-Garde Auto Group (A32Shop.com) for supplying the coilovers and giving me direction in this build. He pretty much knew what I wanted and gave me suggestions on what to purchase accordingly. This guy knows cars. If you ever need advice, I can forward you his contact information to you and you won't be disappointed with the end result.

More pictures will come (eventually). Cheers!

'95-96 conversion.. why? Like the cleanness of the fog vents or something?

GG on the flushness and the JICs, but I'd have done a tranny swap a long time ago...

I think it fits the old school theme a lot better. Besides, the grill on 97-99 sucks monkey *****.

As far as the tranny, meh. Its my reliable daily. A 5-speed would just get me into trouble

Lookin' good. I like the stance, and the 96 front end doesn't look bad at all IMO.

Indeed. Pictures are kinda crappy due to the lighting, so they require some editing before I poast them.

That looks awesome. Nice fitment.

How come more people can't get wheels that fit properly on their Maximas...

Dig it. I actually prefer the 95-96 front end over the 97-99. Might look even better with the Stillen lip...its not as bulky looking at the 97-99.

Because most people are pansies (IE don't want to do the measuring or roll fenders to fit better wheels) or like Richard said are wheel illiterate (ignorant). Mostly the latter I would imagine...

I don't like any of the lip kits offered for the max. Besides, it would probably be ripped off within a couple weeks with my luck

Because this bumper is smoother and less busy than the newer one. Fits the round shape of the max better
