Looks good Chris. Although I think you should have got the engine compartment painted black too.


Thought you are getting new rims?

Thanks Mike, I would have gotten it done but my painter refused to do it because he said it really isn't worth the time nor the money in the end. It was gonna be an extra thousand dollars or something to hit the engine bay. to me it doesn't look bad in person becaue it is kind of a flat grey color.

$3,100. that included fixing 15 dents, a few deep scratches, and he painted the door jambs, under the hood, inside the trunk,and the newbodykit piece. I don't know that much about painting prices but to me it seemed like a more than fair deal

Actually i am way ahead of you. I already got them. Just waiting on someone to give me a wiring diagram. And they are not stolen. I bought them from a Bsetaiwan(a org member).

Here are some pics of this months up coming installs.

I had the rear fenders rolled(not in the sense of looking like a BMW). He rolled the lip inside of the rear fenders so my tires wouldn't rub. My rear is riding lower than before and doesn't have rubbing issues. Prior to doing this that lip was chewing the F### out of my tires

I liked it the other color and I own a black max. Your car just look like "Im a show car" with that body kit and color. I would have maybe kept the color and had them gloss it up.

I don't understand how painting the car black makes it look like a show car, but hey it's cool if it does. I changed it because i just wasn't a fan of sterling silver and i have always loved black cars so i just went with what i liked. Thanks for the honest criticism though

I have seen the car in person and it looks NICE. Now if we could only get the car a little faster. J/k Keep up the good work. With all of these white maximas around here, we needed some more black ones.

In my opinion when seeing a side by side comparison, this bmw jet black puts the stock nissan black to shame.
