What do you guys think? All opinions are welcome! I'm only 19 years old so I'm putting the Max together piece by piece haha.
Next is the Tokico HPs and Maxspeed springs, I'm just waiting for the front HPs to arrive in the mail.
Then I plan on tinting out the windows, anyone suggest what % I should tint?

Painted sawblades, '99 headlights, painted rear badging, smoked tails, etc etc

I KNOW IT'S DIRTY, here in WI it's futile to clean your car - it rains damn near every other day. As a matter of fact, I just completely washed it down yesterday afternoon. Pressure washer and everything.

Looks good except lose the black from the bumper light corners

Jbeck

Thanks man, I wasn't too sure about the corners myself, but I did it anyways and it's kind of grown on me.

well if you like it thats all that matters.

I would have alsone done the lip of those rims black too. And then obviously lower it.

If your going with that tint and smoked look like the tails, I would also smoke out the head lamps and corners. Suspension will change the look substancially.

Jbeck

Absolutely! How do I smoke out the headlamps and corners while also keeping the reflective quality? I feel like if I painted the reflectors they wouldn't...well...reflect so well. haha.

I will post pictures in about a week or two after I lower it!

Jbeck

There ya go :P When I had the all black rims and the bumper corners weren't blacked out.

and then post it in members rides, this is a help section

Beleg

NO NO NO dont lower it please and dont put a lip on it. right now it looks Really good dont change the looks other than some moderate tinting. personally i like the way tail light tinting looks but i dont like them because i think they are dangerous (had to many close calls following them :/ ).

I like black Maximas (I've got a white one myself) but keeping them clean is another story hahaha....
Even when you say it is futil to wash it, the paint looks in great shape but lacks shine (The best part of a black paint job) you should polish and wax it...This will help your car finish to really stand out and as a plus, to repel rain/water and to clean it easily and effortlessly with a wet microfiber towel.

It looks great, but as you already know, there's always room for improvement!

Keep it up!

Reminds me of my Super Black 96. I like it with the rims painted all black & the clear corners left clear. Once you lower the car, it's really going to add to the look of the car.

who are you callin rookies? What else can you do to maximas without being a ricer?

You've been here so long but what are the not so typical mods you've done on your car.

maxgtr2000

iTrader: (29)

Car looks nice and simple which is good. A slight lowering will add to the look.

max ride 41

iTrader: (4)

you rookie, it's called simple & clean. i'm not sayin everyone likes what you like. i'm just sayin be original as possible. he's got a good start. long way to go, reminds me of when i had clears in teh beginning. rookie...

Max139617

iTrader: (9)

LOL I'll let you slide because you're secretly scared since you used

But seriously you can't really do anything with maximas except "clean & simple" because the second you do anything more you're labeled a ricer.

IF OP does not give a single **** about what anyone thinks go all out

Looks good ,now I know what my stock rims look like if I blacked em' out.. all in all though it's a little too "murdered out" for me, I prefer to offset the black with chrome..but to each his own!

iTrader: (4)

you guys were'nt around back 7-8 years ago when mods were plentiful an life was good. now, they don't make alot of accesories for our cars anymore like back in the day, it's straight, " o lower your cars and murder out the lights.....

Max139617

iTrader: (9)

Had this been 7-8 years ago we would all be in the 240 game if we knew any better. DAMN DRIFT TAX

iTrader: (2)

Very true. At times, you even had several companies to choose from for certain mods.

Maxride41....did you seriously post a picture of your Max again when it wasn't warranted.....

saig

Your car needs wax.

Look good overall.

Off-the-topic: Don't take photo under-tree-shade. Afternoon sunlight (around 5-6 pm) and at an angle (no direct lighting, for hiding defects) are the best for bringing out your car's shines and contours.

Jbeck

Oh lawd I love blue Maximas. This is just gorgeous.

Thank you, I appreciate it! I am dropping within the next week..springs just shipped yesterday after 5 days of processing the order.

Jbeck

Um..I am speechless. I definitely give a single **** and would never be able to justify having a car that looks like that. Hey at least that guy doesn't get brake dust on his wheels!
