1st New Pic of ceasars chariot

The car is finally finished. Gonna get out and get some photos soon. We snapped this one today. Everything looks real good. The rims could be better, and the window molding, brakes and calipers really need fixing up. They stand out like a sore thumb "kinda brown and rusty"..



anyways thanks for all the help this year. i have asked a billion questions and many more than once. Post your thoughts and ideas . I hope to get a cf hood soon and I have no idea on bigger rims thats another big project !

Did the sarona sides/rear fit ok??

The passenger side was perfect, the drivers side was close ( tiny squeak -lame ), regarding opening the door, but im thinking it will work itself out.

The sarona rear looks real good but in person it needs some work if you asked me with design. It flows pretty well but not perfect. If you ever notice the curve that comes around and over the rear wheel( check out the picture in the post above) the sarona does not have that and it cuts out going to a flat look. I thought that was lame.

One thing I do think thats good about the sarona rear concerning looks is that it keeps the overall look of the maxima curved and keeps the luxury/sports car look. I dont think its perfect but i will take it over the stock bumper a million times over.

I deserve insults and attacks for the next paragraph ! lol

Crazy as it seems. i would actually love to put a racing wing on the back of the car, but honestly i dont think the maxima ( 4 door ) can pull it off. So the best thing I thought was to keep the look of the sports/luxury car even though my maxima is far from a luxury mobile. lol

My muffler sticking out looks a billion times better now in the back than before. I had to stop by and have the exhaust pro refit and center it again. it was under there bumping around on the way home so that was another 35 dollars for a good hours work. I am concerned with how close the muffler is to the sarona body and I wouldnt doubt if it melted some of the under part.

Rear Sarona Bumper
Also the on the sides (since mine was not molded ) the sarona sides come up over the body and it doesnt look bad but it really could be better. You just cant see these type of things in pictures.

The stillen front lip is a jewel !

I dont know how this will change the outside of the car. But the sarona rear actually captures much of my exhaust sound. i think since it totally surrounds it now. In the cab it sound even deeper, but im not sure how it would change the outside.

I talked with the exhaust pro guy about fitting another resonator and we are going to work on that. anything would help.

Looks real good.

why do you think you need larger rims?? You already own some really sweet wheels that are light as ****. You should sink the tire and wheel money into go fast mods!!!!!

I totally agree. For the $1200 you'll sink into some light 17/18 rims and tires, you could have the MEVI/JWT ECU and your car would be hauling while looking great.

I like the wheels, SSR Comps in 16's are better than some cheapo wheels in 17's in my book. Car looks awesome, great job.

I think the stock spoiler looks good, but if you want something else, you can try to find a type II wing, or custom fit the OEM type R style wing (but i dont think it looks right) have you thought about no spoiler at all?

I agree with dave, the rims you have now look hot, take the money and get a JWT ecu and mevi set up. Toss some red/clears on and your ready to go.

The car looks very nice and sleek. I'd be very happy with those wheels, go with a 55 or 50 series tires and a good drop, ie: coilovers, that is more functional than just for looks. In addition, I think, your Maxima could have looked more unique had you gotten the door pillars painted white as well. If you do decide to keep the wheels, perhaps painting the spokes white (leaving the lip polished) will further enhance that custom look.

sweeeet. (white max's kick ***) love the stillen lip with the sarona, i was thinking of doing that, but i don't like any of the rear bumper options for our car, although if i had to get any i'd do exactly like you did.

+1 on the red/clears.

Interesting. Another person I've seen with a sweet hooked max and stock tails. When I see that I think of a person that does not know about the org. Anyways, car looks real good. I like the wheels too but I think if they were 17's they would be better. But the things with rims that have lips is that they always look and inch smaller than what they really are. But at the same time I agree with the others when they say save that money on wheels and get some more go fast mods. Later

Mike.

Looks good man....I know a lot of work went into it. Just make yourself a new year's resolution and hook yourself up with some red/clears when U get the opportunity and it'll look real sweet. Take care. Lata!
