Finally got around to taking some pics with my phone of the car. So far i got only some minor work done. Powder coated 18' wheels, blacked out housing, bluebatmobile headlight overlays, and painted white calipers, and yes they are a ***** to keep clean. Looking to do another mod but im on the fence on which to do 1st; cai or lowering springs. What do you guys think? also let me know what you think of the ride... dont hold back .

 

 

 

Paint the grill black and take off the front license plate holder since theres no plate there but looks like a good start

 

Lower it and get a front lip

 

You know i was trying to wait to get the cmod grille but i guess until then i should paint the grille. As for the plate holder..i took it off only to realize that the bumper is messed up behind there. Maybe ill get some kinda plate to fill the void.

 

Lower it, black callipers, clean up the headlights, and black grille.

 

If i dont clean the calipers they'll be black. But i was looking for something to stand out. so far im leaning toward lowering it. Thanks for the advice guys.

 

Definitely lower it next

 

I think going a step further and replacing the grille with an aftermarket one and then painting it black would look even better. I can't stand the massive and unnecessary chrome plate in the middle of the grille with the huge Nissan emblem on the 6th gens. It completely ruins the design flow of the whole front end in my opinion. Not that that's your fault of course, that's all on Nissan. Overall, not a bad start. I like what you've done so far. It's very easy to do black entirely wrong, you haven't made that mistake.

 

Clean start fo' sho. Drop that sucka.

 

+1

then you need to lower it

 

looking good man great starting point

 

good looking out everyone. Appreciate the advice. Looking to pick up some progress springs from an org member when the opportunity rises. In the mean time, im going to work on that grill.

 

i'm wondering...it seems like you are going for the black out theme..but you have white calipers....i dont get the 'stand out' thinking..wait for the grill you want and paint that black, lower it and paint the calipers black..other than that..strong start

 

Yeah i know its a bit contradictory with the white calipers, but the way i see it there are plenty of all black cars with either red or bronze painted calipers and i was just going for another color. I like them white, aside from having to clean them constantly. We'll see how long that will last. Thanks for the input...good to hear im in the right direction

 

lower, untint the headlights, get the 6.5 front bumper and you'll be set! lol

 

^^Looks like he painted his headlights but you should definitely lower and get the 6.5 front bumper

 

Yeah, I blacked out the inside of the headlight no outside tint, although i forgot to mention that i did tint out the tail lights and debadge the trunk along with a blacked out nissan burger. ill post pics of the rear soon.

 

Looks good, I can't believe you painted your calipers white. I would be cleaning them everyday. I would get a c-mod grille, drop it, roof spoiler, and get rid of the front license plate bracket if your putting a license plate on the front bumper.

 

i vote on you lowering it before getting a cold air.

waxima was a username i was debating on but went with maxinone lol

 

Drop it.

Except slam it.

Like coilover slam it.

You'll be much happier than if you ride struts/springs, trust me.

Also, do a 6.5 front-end conversion before you buy that C-mod grille.

Otherwise, off to a good start, OP.

 

+ 1... Is it auto or 6Mt?

 

Well I'm glad you went in the direction you did lol. Waxima is the first half of my last name combined with the name of the car and it flows perfectly. It's what all my friends call my car so it was only natural to use that for my username

 

Its an automatic. So im pretty convinced on lowering it, still in the market for some progress springs. Coilovers?....i think imma start off with some progress springs with stock struts. From what i been reading many 6 geners dont have much issue with that combo. coilovers are a lil out of price range...maybe in the far far far future.

 

Looks good should go with lowering the car next since you are on the exterior right now anyway!!
