5 Years with the 2001 AE...

This upcoming summer will be 5 years with my beloved 2001 black on black 5 speed Anniversary Edition Maxima. Oh how you never seem to disappoint...

The beginning...


As she currently sits...

Not lowered.

She is still on stock SE springs paired with Illuminas. Next 4 projects: finish the stereo system, revamp the suspension, replace the worn and cracking OEM leather with aftermarket leather, and find some better tires for the newly acquired 350z rims.

Custom 2000-2001 housings with bixenon FX-R 3.0 projectors retrofitted inside. All powered by TRS Morimoto 35w ballasts and relays, as well as OEM Philips 85122+ D2S bulbs. All work done by me, and as a matter of fact, this is my third retrofit build I have done. I just recently went back to the AE look and removed the shroud covering up the raw projector. Looks much better and not so cheesy.
