Your wheels are on backwards. Switch the driver side wheels over to the passenger side & vica versa.

Pics look nice, but were is your muffler?



Edit: Were did you take those pics at anyway? That dumpster in the background is waaay too full.

His wheels are not backwards. They will be like that no matter what.

What type of drop are you on?

Looking sweet man...if I were you, I would spend $2.00 or so and buy some 194 size red LED lights from superbrightleds.com for those Altezza sidemarker lights instead of the yellowish ones you got in there now. Not only will it look better...it will be somewhat more legal (albeit having a completely reflective red surface that is). But lookin' good dude. Take it easy. Lata! - Jeremiah

Nice work on the photos, and to be honest, I dont think the wheels look bad backwards. . . your car looks great, very clean .. but I think the altezzas throw it off, it takes the class out of the Maxima. Red/Clears would look awesome, but I understand that they are way overpriced. . . that said, I think the stock tails would look fine. But to each his own.

Thanks for the comments guys.

kingrukus: They are dropzone springs. I got them free. They are definately not my spring of choice, Im just on a tight budget.

JeremiahMaximaSE: Ive been meaning to change those, Im just too lazy right now.

Wisky97SE: thanks for the comments. I really really really wish I could do the red / clears, but I cannot justify spending 3-400 on tail lights. I might have a project coming up though with the altezzas.

Danny, that alley is over behind walgreens on alma school and baseline. Next time I take pics, Im gonna get more professional, I think I can find some badass places.

maxspeed96CT: The tail lights are the carbon fiber tails. I guess they just look black because of the lighting and stuff.

John: You're a ****! I actually believed you bout the rims for a sec. Im just so out of it right now.

Yes, then it would look like the wheels are spinning in the correct direction! Its funny as hell to say the least, but it looks good. Like I said be4, I never really realised that til today, ive seen his car in person many times and never gave it a 2nd thought

Chris, im serious. I think they are on the wrong side. It doesnt look bad at all, its just strange and funny at the same time. Still just leave them alone.

I swear, im about to just post a new thread in the 4th gen forum with a poll.

Are these wheels on the wrong side...Yes or No. Just to see what kind or response we get. Ill even make another thread here in General with a link to the poll in the 4th gen area.

What do you guys say, shall I do it or what?

no, they'll look the right way on the other side. please stop being dumb. the wheels were only made in one direction so no matter how you do it, they're always going to seem "backwards" on one side. at first, i thought you were all joking, then i realized you're not.

think of it this way, make a car on a piece of paper, use quarters for the rims. switch them to the other side. notice how they seem the wrong/opposite way?


i like how you're front bumper is painted man! did you do that yourself or did you have the whole thing repainted? also, what kind of corner/clearance lights do you have? they seem to match pretty well.

Your temping me man... dont do that.

Let me try to explain it so its a bit easier to understand.
Look at one of the side shots. Now...picture the car being picked up. The wheels however stay on the ground, just the body lifts up. Now...turn it around facing the other direction. THAT is what I meant.
I have enough common sense to know that if you switch the front to the back it will look the same same **** with switching from left to right side. Maybe I should have explained more clearly be4, but im sure most1 every understood what I meant.

i didn't mean front to back either. no matter what you do, it's always gonna look that way from the passenger side. the driver's side will always look the right way. take for example this pic on his homepage of the driver's side of his car.


there is nothing to be done, that's the way it will always be with sawblades. maybe i'm just tired and can't tell that you're joking, or i don't know.

I didnt know that damnit! I cant belive nissan was so cheap as to forge the wheel just ONE WAY. Thats just so dumb. I see what you mean though, I though the driver side looked exactly the same as the passenger side.
If you scroll up & look at the 1st photos, it even shows this...ohh geez how yeah sawblades are definetly ghetto

It would still have been funny to get Chris to take his wheels off & switch them around to see no difference, even if it wasn't intensional

He stated he has Dropzone springs. I "think" they may have been modified prior to being installed. In person, the car sits fairly even.

Did you rewire your clearance lights, or just cut off the nub or what??

Wow, alot of questions. I got the clear bumper lights from Southwest Autoworks. The front bumper was painted by a professional in those grooves, so it would match the rest of the car. The grille I did myself, but that's gonna be done soon by a professional so it matches too. Right now it's faded white. The springs are dropzone springs, and john is right, there are 2 coils chopped front and back. The drop is very even. more wheel gap in front, cuz of the size of the wheel wells, but the whole car itself sits very even.

And about the whole rims thing, I wasnt all here last night, I was really out of it.

The bulbs I have are just plain old apc bulbs. cheap, and get the job done. I like em. I didnt rewire anything, or modify anything in the front as far as lighting goes.

My friend can get me spring spacers for really cheap, so I may go with those. Im too low for my taste in the back anyways. If I get those spring spacers, I'll definately pop those things on. Im just worried about ride quality going down the tube with the spring spacers. I dont want to have a bouncy ***.

Altezzas cuz I hate stock and Im not going to spend 400 for a set of tail lights. Windshield banner because even though I dont have much money to spend there, I support southwest autoworks.

Hey dont be hatin on the exhaust. The red and clears do look clean, but I refuse to pay over 200, maybe 250 tops, for a set of tail lights, let alone just the one piece from each side.
