I was wondering if anyone painted over their trunk reflector and then stuck on those 4th Gen "MAXIMA" letters to make their 3rd Gen seem like a 4th Gen? If anyone has, do you have pics? I'd like to see if it looks cool before I do it to mine. Also, did you remove the silver pieces before you painted them? Etc...

BTW...I'm a n00b. So yeah, I'm a moron if this has been explained and mentioned already. Sorry.

 

yeah I did, all it took was a $5 can of Krylon Red





If you do decide to paint it, at least use auto paint and match it to your car so it looks decent

 

Man you know you can just paint over it You need to do some work to it to look as good as N34JZ does. N34JZ I like what you done to your max by the way

 

thanks, but just incase someone thinks I just painted over mine, I did not, I had the piece removed and had the space filled. as you can see hear, cost me about $500 with all my other body work, so figure about 600-700 if your not gonna get the whole car painted

 

O i know you didnt just paint over it so why would you tell this guy to paint over it??? . I am getting mine done in the summer along with my stillen kit and wing all at once its gonna cost me 2,000 for everything painted and installed.

 

Wow, looks sweet! I was wondering....what did you replace it with? Was it something you could buy or did you have to make it yourself?

 

no I had the body shop fab in some sheet metal then they finished it with bondo and whatnot.

$2000? your not getting the whole car painted right?

 

N34JZ,
Looks good. I think your up next for MOTM. Your moving your way on up the top ten Maxima list. That would be tight. Two 3 gens in a row. I am getting my trunk shaved. It is going in the shop on Dec. 21 to get Z3 Fenders molded in and getting the trunk shaved. I also have the stillen kit to put on.

Have you ever done any body work?? I shaved mine back in May, and did the same thing J had his body shop do. I had to bend and spot-weld some scrap metal to it and fiberglass out the 'imperfections' to get it smooth. It doesn't look right just painted, BTW. I did that too a couple of years ago. It didn't look right.

Sorry the pic is kind of crap. Bad digi-cam

 

Also, anyone know the prices for the gold plated "MAXIMA" letters from Nissan?

BTW, your cars look sweet!

 

dont put any "maxima" stuff on it. you baby will look 10x nicer without it,nice shaved look!

-nothing is better lookin then a clean shaved........... trunk
