my "new" 4th gen

i've had it for a few weeks already, never posted it up.
but here it is. i got it 100% stock and added a few things to make it lovely

its a 97 GXE with black cloth seats
so far added:
-intake
-blacked out grille
-AE'd headlights
-smoked bumper lights
-5% tint
-2009 maxima 18s with fresh tires
-ionic roof spoiler
-m3 trunk lip spoiler
-smoked red/clear tails
-chrome 3" muffler tip

next up is a drop! probably getting eibach springs. after that maybe some OEM mudflaps and fogs







Past 2 rides:





I have a thing for dark tints, I should have learned my lesson after $900 in fines

i miss it too, i regret getting rid of it so much. i cracked the tranny pan and the front bumper. it was such an easy fix but i just wanted to get a new car at the time that i sold it for $1,000 as is. the guy that bought it fixed it in my driveway and drove off with it. that really broke my heart

as far as this one, i'm putting on the rims and drop next, than doing the headlights, bumper lights, and tail lights. later on i might get an ionic roof spoiler with a m3 trunk lip spoiler, and a stillen front lip and OEM mudflaps. and i want my grille to be black too. trying to keep it simple just like my first one

Damn him fixing it right there woulda killed me too. He got a sick deal too, my old Max sold for $500 bone stock and it had way more miles than yours. I was sad letting it go but I had to.

You cars gonna look killer with your plans but the Stillen kit is gonna look weird. Everything else should look sexy, how much were the K-Sports?

And damn 8hrs is a long *** time. Don't you have a buffer though? I know when I go all out detailing it takes a long time but I do everything by hand.

i'm probably only going to get the front lip, not the whole kit. i agree that the whole kit doesn't look that great. ksports are $825 shipped with the blowout sale in the GD section, but actually they're on backorder so i just got refunded
and when i first got the car, the paint was very dull, dirty, and had a lot of imperfections. i washed the car, than clayed it twice, than polished, than washed again (due to the dust of the polish), than polished again and than sealed than wax.

i think they look bad on the 7th gen because they come with thick *** tires. but i'm running 225 40 18 so with the drop it'll definitely look sexy!!
