Looks pretty good. Now that it's detailed, start modding.

Looks good man.

I washed my car the other day and cleaned the rims and it snowed the following evening. After driving on the highway in fresh powder for an hour that night my car still looked immaculate

We all know what stock 4th gens look like...why post pics of one? I think the point here is to express yourself and your individuality by posting pictures of a maxima you modded yourself therefore hopefully setting it apart from the rest. I guess that concept flew right over your head.





Or maybe I'm just a douchebag, could go either way.

WarpSpeed was ordered today for better free-flow exhaust though

Looks nice and clean. Are you ready to clay and wax again after all the dirty driving that's ahead of you as the snow melts?

of course it will get all detailed again in spring but right now it is 6 degrees out and feels like -6 with the windchill so it will be a few months...

x2. We all gotta start somewhere, if you don't like it just move along.

OP. Love the color! I had a sage mist back in the day.

thanks.. we were happy to find an unmolested and well cared for 97 SE in phoenix area that was garaged it's whole life (aka, not badly sun faded).

sun fade is not a concern here in chicagoland... just rust... which hopefully won't be an issue for at least another 10 years considering this is the first snow and salt this car has ever seen!

It looks like you have mirror tint on the back windows and smoke on the front. Either way clean car so far, just make sure you keep it clean driving in all that snow/salt out in Chicago.

Yes, the previous owner did the mirror tint in back with smoke in front... I think the Mirror tint was illegal for front windows in AZ but it helped preserve the interior doing it for the back 3 windows anyway....
