Shaved my trunk lid (pics)
Shaved my trunk lid (pics)
Hey guys, I don't post much here. I am usually just lurking around, abusing the search function.
I doubt any of you remember but I used to own a Black 92 Maxima (Blaxima) with some fiberglass work done on the interior. Well I smashed that one up about a month ago but I got my stereo and all the fiberglass stuff out.
I managed to find another 92 within a week in better condition than my old one. Anyways, here's what I spent my weekend doing, I think I am going to redo the whole body on this car so I'll get around to painting it all later.

The tail lights dont line up perfectly but I think its impossible to line up both the tail lights and the bottom of the bumper to the trunk lid

inner trunk lid details, I used expanding foam on the trunk lid but it still rattles. My amps and fiberglass amp rack are still to go on the trunk lid sometime this week

I welded in a piece of sheet metal that I cut using the old light as a guy, I used a large piece of ABS tubing as a roller to get the light curve in the piece. Then I welded in some metal filler pieces on the sides. I think my buddy has a couple contruction pics of it on his camera, which I can post when I get them.
Here are some random pictures of my cars.





This sub enclosure is for sale if anyone wants it, it holds 2 10" subs and has a total airspace of ABOUT 1.75 cubic feet, fits with no modification into any 3rd gen Maxima I believe

To get the taillight and bumper both to lign up you have to do it in 2 or 3 pieces. That is how Jasons is done and a couple of others too.
Shavedmax doesnt count because his is totally custom anyway lol.
