For those of you that have never seen my car

I just made a car domain page ... these pictures were taken today at dusk, so they're not that great ... also, here in NYC the temp topped out at around 50 degrees, a blessing ... so i washed and waxed my car, but since the hose wasn't working i wasn't able to remove the salt from the tire well's ... oh well, tell me what you think

also, don't tell me a need to lower my car, i know

thank you, good day

forgot the link

Emblem on the hood needs to go (maybe above M-A-X-I-M-A on the trunk) and you should finidh up the body kit. Other than that, very nice.

Last time I saw a wheel gap like that it was at a Monster Truck rally on TNT....

You could drive over a couple of crushed Pintos with that ride....

J/K.....nice ride

He has the AGX's. You can see the red strut in the wheel well.

TIP:
Wash the wheel wells and black them out with something. Even tire dressing works well. They don't stant out as much when there nice and dark.

Snap some pics of your car at sunset WITHOUT a flash. The car will look much better.

Nice maxima. I like the emblem on the hood not the grille though, maybe consider putting the Nissan one back on your grille, or just leave it empty.

wow, last time i checked there were only 12 posts in this thread .. and now 26

ok everyone, i live up here in NYC so that means that:

1) my hose gets shut off or else it'll freeze and then pipes break and thats very very bad
2) i have to get water from the bath tub inside and transport it in buckets out to my car, so there is no pressure. I literally have to throw the water out of the bucket (very big PITA). So thats why inside the wheel wells it's very salty. And the only way to have that nice and clean is to take it to the car wash, but since it was a nice day and i didn't have any cash and I didn't feel like taking my car to the car wash with the rims forced me to do it by hand.
3) the wheels only went on for 2 days because:
  • the tires are bald
  • there is so much salt on the roads
  • as most of you noted and some posted, that wheel gap is tremendous (spelling, whatever)
  • someone asked me to take some pictures, so they could see my ride, so i took a couple

The wheels are off and the sawblades are back on, and the wheel gap doesn't look as big. It's weird because the 15's sawblades with 215/45 don't have that big of a wheel gap, but the 17's with 235/45 have a huge wheel gap EVEN THOUGH, they are the "same size" if you stack them one on top of the other. It's quite odd.

I will have new pictures as soon as spring rolls around when I have my:
1) finished body kit
2) H&R's
3) red/clears with the maxima emblem on the back off and possibly a shaved keyhole
4) new tires on the rims (yokohama 235/45Y17)
5) possibly a black paint job because there are so many chips

izzy - your suspension is shot .. you're car is lower than both jason's and blake's combined, j/k man

phenryiv1 - the arrows are 17's, I got them off an org member for $590 with the tires (that are shot, but i still think i got a good deal)

A-Ron Max - I removed the hamburger from the front, but it didn't look to good because it's solid black behind the emblem. I also think that this emblem goes very well with the front and overall color of my car

Dave B - Thanks, next photos I take will be with the flash off, there are more pics, but they came out like sh..shutchyomouff

mitch33x - I got the AGX's, I was going to put a set of eibachs on with one coil cut, but the warranty for the shocks would be voided if the car is lower than 1.5 inches (and they have ways of testing)

Aaron95SE - IMO the a$$ of a maxima was meant to be naked

slickrick - Thats what it looks like, and it's awesome

oh well, the thing that really matters is that I like the way MY car looks.
