As of 4-27-13 I will be using this thread to post new mods and pics . This will be my "build" thread

Before I get to my 99, I will show a few pics of what made me get into Maxima's.....my old 96. Had it from March of 05 to August 07. My doctor had changed my medicine and didnt tell me not to take it before driving No pics of the carnage, but take it as...60mph head-on in to a tree



Then I got my 99 in September of 07 (we all know what a stock maxima looks like, not posting a pic)

when I got the car I had the windows tinted 15% the next day. And then a few days after that I had my first set of wheels. Also, salvaged my springs from the gold car and used them on the white car


Around Fall/Winter of 07 I purchased R34 style headlights and faux nismo graphics (let the flaming ensue) I loved the hood stripe, but the sides were meh


Not sure of when, but I purchased some 19" ADR victory wheels from Euromaxima on the big ORG. Also removed the side stripes but left the hood stripe


I then got bit with the mod bug and purchased an Ionic Dynamics lip kit, OE style glass headlights with Acura TL projector retro, OE fogs, and CF mirror shells. Painted the kit satin black to keep my panda them going


Then tragedy struck



I purchased some 04 SL wheels from a local for $200 and wrapped them in Nitto NT-555 tires.


Here is a fairly recent engine bay shot.

Pics 3 & 4.

 

pic 3 has to be one of my favorites of the car

 

That lake looks a little familier to me

Car looking good with those fogs

 

Thats where I took you to when you were up here to take those pics of your max.


And Im loving the fogs, even though they do nothing with my headlights they look hella good being yellow

 

I like I like. The kit actually looks nice unpainted, it flows with the whole panda theme.

Any more changes comming soon?

 

I was being sarcastic

 

Possibly getting VVthis foolsVV wheels when he finally gets his new ones VV

 

Car looks great!! I was skeptical about the fogs being yellow at first- but it actually looks great!! Looks OEM-ish.. Nice job, overall!!

Pics 3 and 4 does it for me, also..

 

looks great brad, love the 6th gen wheels

 

3,4, and 5 are sick Brad. Keeping the lip black?

 

it all depends on what kind of wheels I end up going with

 

Which ones do you have your eyes on?

 

If I could get my hands on them...some G35 18's

 

Clean 4th gen

 

back end is so clean. Nice job bro !

 

thanks for the comments

 

Love the ride! Looks real sporty. The black kit, lights, and wheels dresses the car nice! Love the white with black idea. Hard to do but you pulled it off nice.

 

thats a sexy *** on that 4th, no bewl! i think eventually you should color match the lip kit, doesnt have to be now because it looks good, but eventually

 

where are you getting the maxima logo from? btw nice ride

 

what do you mean? the front emblem? thats an old emblem paradox system sold, they dont carry it anymore

 

So no pics of the VQ

 

 

you need to go ahead and do that VHT Red Wrinkle, bruh

 

I want to. I need to go to the junkyard and pull an extra valve cover.

 

I see that intake manifold is still looking really good

 

I like how far back the projector sits in the housing. It takes away from the bug eyed look some retro fits tend to give some cars. It's more of an OEM look. I know its not the best positioning for optimum output, but its still way better than stock.

 

Yep still looking great. Love that its painted, I can just take a wrag and wipe it off

you would be surprised at how good the output actually is.

 

ive got my retro set up almost exactly the same and the cutoff is quite impressive

 

you dont have a day or two you can borrow your parents/someones car while the paint cures? pull the VC off one evening, sand, clean and tape it off. the next morning get up to prime and spray it and let it cure for 24hrs (or you can put it in the oven if your parents wont hang you for having the house smell like paint, let it cool off, and reinstall)

 

 

nice clean carr!!

 

 

Nice. What else is getting hit? Pics when done!!!

 

radiator top mounts, I dont want to go overboard with it.

 

that looks awesome .. cant wait to see it all together

 

Projectors look nice too.!

 

looks really good, i like that rough looking red paint on the valve cover

 

Picture two is in your face, very aggressive and the rims say class.

 

nice and clean been following this ride for a min when i had my 98 keep it up
