nice car, what year is it?

 

02-03 I think

 

niceeeeeeee

 

Back now.. Expect coilovers and catback by summertime

 

Looking good - congrats man! Keep up the good work.

I'm running on S-Techs as well and can't wait to yank them out. If you are looking for coilovers, I'd suggest you buy new. From what I have seen, you are not going to save a whole lot buying used (if you can find them), and you don't know what they have been through, how long they're going to last, and you won't have warranty. I ordered a set of BC Racing C/O's from JM Auto Racing (see group buy section) for $918 shipped. Problem is, they're on backorder and they don't have a definitive date for shipping.

I'm debating whether to throw on some Illuminas in the meantime but that's an expensive bandaid.

Also, for your headlight restoration, check this product out: http://www.cureuv.com/lightrite-uv-c...small-can.html it's golden. My autobody guy was very impressed with it, and so am I. First he told me he could have clear coated them for me and it would have been the same, but after he applied it, he told me it was worth every penny (I bought the $55 can).

Anyway, just some tips. Good luck on the future work & keep the pics coming!

 

Thanks

But yeah, pretty ****ty ride huh? The drop and slight increase in handling are the only things stopping me from going back to stock for the time before i get my hands on some c/o's. Swaying towards getting new now that you are one of multiple people who told me to do so.
Suspension is most important to me right now so completing that is #1 other than some cosmetic mods.

As for that headlight restoration kit, it sounds pretty convincing so thanks for that. Ill try that out once i run out of diamondite which has hold up amazingly well since ive been gone for 2 months.

 

Me and my boy went out and messed around with the Nikon tonight..First time trying to take pictures to please bare with the quality lol. We literally got 3 of what we thought were decent shots out of like 40

Car has been dirty lately.

 

BLackout window trim and handles ftw! lloks clean so far, good work man.

 

Thanks

Ordered blackout tape yesterday. How to blackout handles though?

Also installed grounding kit today. Signifigant differences in interior lighting and audio seems to work better. Thanks shinjiduo.

 

Wasnt sure to do this or not but i purchased a pair of black tails off someone from NYCM. I think it looks alright. I was trying to avoid the 'murdered out' look but i just loved the way these tails looked. Definitely my last black appearance mod.

Debating on illuminas/ h&r or gr-2's/ h&r. Coilovers are now out of the question since funds wont come along for a new set.

Clear markers are coming in tomorrow, looking to stick some leds in those along with a light smoke for the rear markers.

Thats it for now. Will also be ordering a buffer and other cleaning supplies in the next week or so. Front lip will also be re-sprayed.

 

Money shot. Looks fantastic.

 

Clear markers

 

 

Block off plate installed..

 

Car looks good but the tails are killing me

 

I think they look alright, probably going back to stock eventually.

 

was messing around with the iphone today.. got a pretty cool shot..also washed the car today with meguiars gold class, works wonders

 

Looks good man. Def smoke the window trim, side markers and door handles.

 

Looks great! Im not really feeling the tailights either.

 

Giving the car a good wash today. Will check back after.

Also grabbed some 225/45/18 yokohamas for the front. Love them

 

If you add up the price of new struts/shocks, springs, dust boots & strut mounts (which if you don't need now, you will soon), you are pretty much at the price of a set of coilovers - just sayin' something to think about (I went through this too). The major plus will be your ability to lower it to just the way you want it, vs being stuck with whatever drop the springs will give you. I know money doesn't grow on trees, but trust me, the price difference is not that much.

IMHO, the clear sidemarkers don't go that well with your car, since it's dark and especially with the black tails (which I do like). Just a matter of personal taste, but I think it's look way better with smoked sidemarkers for some extra pizzazzzz...

 

Thanks man, probably plasti dipping the trim soon. Smoked sidemarkers have been on the list for a while. Beautiful two-tone btw.
I have thought about that, and you're right. Smoked markers soon, the LED's I put in there look sick. I'll get a pic tonight

 

Bored on a school night...


Embedding doesn't seem to wanna work so here's a link

On a side note, I found a fellow member selling ksports so I may grab those off his hands if the time and money is right...

 

Tint and tail lights are also gone...Damn cops.

 

Looks good think I seen your car around. Tails are the only thing maybe do red/smoked. Leave the too red and bottom smoked or red top and bottom. Black out window trim def. For the door handles you can buy vinyl and use that.


Edit my friend can do it he specializes in vinyl and car wraps

 

Thanks. I plan on plasti-dipping the window trim. I don't know how well it actually works but from what I've seen online it seems like the results are pretty good. And for the door handles, leme get some contact for your man that does it. You goin to the east coast meet?

 

How it sits today...Dirty fishbowl status. Last couple weeks/month before I sell the Maxima. No point in keeping it with no license anymore. Much better things to come in 2013 .

O yea if anyone interested in a 06' Honda Pilot basically perfect inside n out 4x,xxx on the clock, silver, loaded except nav and power seats hmu

****ty iPhone pic..

Will have some shots before I sell after a nice wash/wax

 

good looking ride homie, too bad you're selling it!

 

damn, sorry to hear your selling. i know its going to be tough to let her go. get some really good shots with a digital slr camera after you do a detail to her for your archives and for when you put her up for sale.

 

Why did you lose your license? Over tint and taillight thing?

 

no lol dont worry bout it plus im keeping it now just wait til February for some major updates.. wheels...lip going back on. nothing planned with performance other than torque link and maybe just maybe spacers kit (5pc)
