Nate44Laign's 5th Gen -- t(._.t)

Alright guys. I purchased this 2002 Maxima (GXE?) back in October. It's a 3.5L VQ35 (obviously) hooked up to a 4AT which i've actually learned to accept since the VQ makes up for it. haha (still looking for 6sp swap though) haha but anyways, I figured I'd made enough progress to start posting pics of it.

I'm more into the JDM and Hellaflush scenes so don't hate if you don't like it. hah feedback and comments are welcomed though! Let me know what you think.

sorry for the crappy quality of a few of these. hah didnt have my iphone at the time haha



Ok, so i tried to blend the colors of the stickers to achieve ROY G BIV. lol never seen this done before so i decided to do it this way haha

D2 coilovers and Rota Grids or Rota D2's in 17x9 +20 offset. not sure on tires as of yet but they should be heading my way soon, bcuz i dont think i can wait that long to wait for them after gettting graduation money. ive been looking at wheels all day basically trying to decide. any other suggestions? possibly brake upgrade too this summer. just not for sure yet. injen intake will be a definite right after stancing. anything else will be for future notifications lol

dude the only situation where stickers are remotely ok (and I mean remotely) is if the car has a nice suspension and wheel setup. Isn't it kind of poserish if you have the hellagay (oops) stickers without the "wide stance"

Hey man, you mind taking 5-7 m ore pictures of this sticker. I'm thinking of buying it I just need some more angles. The ones you provided aren't enough for me.

Agreed. Car will look cleaner without the stickers IMO. But yeah, thats a GXE. Very rare to find in a 5.5, but based on the no fogs, wheels, and door handles, it's most likely a GXE with factory-installed spoiler.

The stance people are the modern equivalent of the ricer show-car people of the late 90's. Replace vtec type r stickers, bodykits, altezza lights, neon paint, lighting, and fart cans WITH wheels, coilovers, "ill" stickers, drift charms, and golfcart mirrors and its the same thing. 5-10 years from now people will think its the dumbest thing ever and only mexicans will be doing it (no offense to any mexicans)

If you don't, then Coilovers and wheels/tires. imo
