2 pics Of my Car in Dads Shop

Well this is my 1998 Pearl White max that ive been working on for some time now. I get to start driving her sept 23 cant wait. I love this car to death. I just want some feedback on the cars appearance. Its very far from where I want it to be, but im getting there. The second pic is pook, dont even know why I took it.


as you can see this is in back of my dads shop so no room for pics.



Tell me what you guys think, I might also go with the mirror tint in the future but I dont know how taht will look witha carbon fiber hood and gunmetal rims :(

I don't like the body kit you have on there....or the grill for that matter.
However, you have a really clean car, so keep it up.
Have you done any performance mods to the thing?
I would personally go with the black tint, if you are getting carbon fiber hood and dark wheels. It will go with it more, IMO.

Damn, your car is definately hot. Keep it up. As for the tint, son don't get mirror tint. ****s are whack as hell. Especially don't if you gonna have Gun Metal rims and a CF hood. I'd leave no tint, or get 35 on a beautiful white car like that. Myself, am gonna be gettin 15 or 20, but that's me. Again, nice car.

Its called Feretti Auto Center on philmont street. Im trying to keep the car niec and clean looking and once my illuminas and eibachs come in this weekend, ima put everything together along with the wheels and the cf hood. As for the grille, yes it is a part of the front bumber as much as i dont like it either, personaly I woulda kept the stock one if I could. Right now in those pics the car is very dirty, ima take out out back and buff her a little u know what i mean and Ill post some more pics after that, as far as mods, I have Y pipe and Injen as performance, not doing anymore boltons because im getting a custom t04 60-1 turbo kit built for me so no poin in spending money for a catback that i will have to swap once i get that baby in there. I am looking to get the JWT chip and also the mevi asap..

As far as the bodykit goes, my dream car is a skyline which I will be getting within the next year (opening up my own business hopefully it does well ) so if I can take that little piece of the skyline and make it mine own right now, i will and thats what i did, even if it doesnt really resemble the skyline, it still puts a smile on my face every morning I wake up and get into the car.

it's everyones opinion if you like it go with it. I think it flows very nicely with the rest of the car. and with the tint go dark enough as to were you can be seen don't over do it. I'm doing double limo only becuase I'm out here in AZ

looks good, definalty a nice max.
But you have to get wheels and a drop. To me a car with a kit just doesnt look right rolling on stockers. It takes away from the vehicle. A nice set of wheels always makes the ride.

As far as the grill goes, you can buy one like that to fit a 97-99. Its basicly a 95-96 design made to fit the 97-99 bumper.

what to get in no particular order:

Type X spolier
Coilovers mainly for adjustability purposes cause that kit is very low to begin with! (Teins, JICs, etc..) but i did read you got Eibachs already :/
18" rims
id say NO tints, thats depending on if your going for a "show look" or not
red/clears if you dont have them already
new fog lights (the blues look very cheap IMHO)

goodluck!

Wow, Feretti is like a min. away from my house. Maybe Ill come by and check it out. Are you Russan and does your dad own other shops? Just asking because I have a few friends that know people who work there.

September 23'rd because thats when the new insurance kicks in, as for the blue lights, i like em, i didnt want to get clear headlight because I wanted a little contrast up front and i think the light blue color really brings out the pearl white on the bumper if you were to see it in person. As far as my dads shop, yes I am russian been here 14 years, Feretti Consists of shops, 1 mechanical and 1 body, my dad own teh body shop with another partner.

The kit makes the max look like 2 cars. When you look at it going from the roof it looks like one car and as soon as you get to where the grill is it looks like another car. The max has round shapes and lines and the kit is square.

I think it'll look real good with carbon fiber hood and trunk and gunmetal rims would look good.

Looks great... Personally i love the skyline. It is also my favorite car and has been for a really long time now. I would love to have one in the States but it isnt that easy to get it on the street... not to mention that its not a cheap car.
I like the kit a lot and hope to be putting mine on also after the winter. She looks great though. Take care of her.

Yeah, the car is clean, and the kit isnt too bad. All of us monkeys have the stillen kit, so its the next thing. Dark tint (mirror tint blows) and some 18's or 19's would look just about right...

=o)

Maybe you can roll down w/us to the next meet...
