some new pics with my car all together

***EDIT: Just so everyone knows I only painted the bumpers and the kit not the whole car. The rest of the car is factory paint...for now that is. I mentioned that in another thread but figured I would mention that here in case some didnt see the other thread***

Well today was a pretty day so I decided to clean all the pollen off of my car and go to the lake to get some nice pics. Unfortunately it started clouding up while I was washing the car and by the time I got to the lake it was pretty much a complete overcast.

That being said the pics did not turn out to good but I decided to post them anyway because there are a couple of nice ones.

Click here for the entire directory of pics

One of the best lighted shots and best angle was ruined because a guy pulled up and parked right by me (even though he saw I was taking pics and there were about a million other spots he could have chosen) just before I took the pic and his cars reflection ruins the picture imo.

anyway here are some of the pics...click the link above for all of them.



This shot shows how overcast it became:


Some of my favorites: (they would have turned out pretty nice if I had more light):

The shot with the other car's reflection in it:


last one I am posting...again check the link for all of them:



I will try again after I buff the car but will probably not get any more before that.

nope...I dont have them installed. I like how it looks without them...especially with the BMW lights (the corners were on the 93 with the BMW lights).

sweet, i like the last two pics you posted. thats one 'clean' maxima you have.
i think the 3rd gens look best without the spoiler, are you going to go with one or leave it how it is.

leave it like it is. I took the factory spoiler off. I had a Stillen type II spoiler but sold it when I decided to go spoilerless.

I really like how a kitted max looks without a spoiler.

that looks pretty dadgum good to me...very nice image reflection.

edit for me lol: I was replying to your picture you posted...I didnt see you edited your post. The reflection on it looked very good to me.

My factory paint has a little orange peal in it as most factory jobs do but my paint job (kit and bumpers) is perfectly slick. I wet sanded (very little sanding required I might add ) and buffed to get it slick. My whole car will be that slick after I paint it.

lol its not the horse I really like but the whole background...the backdrop just makes a nice picture (artistic) imo.

The horses are all over Meridian at certain places. They are all decorated to fit the place the horse is in front of. For example the one in front of the community college has a mortar board on it, a horse in front of a dance school has all kind of pictures of ballerinas on it etc.

This is from the Meridian website:

"Around Town Carousels Abound is an amazingly fun outdoor public art project in Meridian, Mississippi. There are 37 brightly decorated carousel horses created by the talented hands of local and regional artists each with their own theme and story. The horses have been sponsored by businesses and individuals and placed in prominent locations throughout the city.
All proceeds from the project benefit Hope Village for Children."

Thanks everyone

James-I actually have some window trim thats painted and brand new belt moldings but am waiting to put them on my smoothed door handle doors since I kept them to put on this car. I dont like to double do things so thats why I havent fooled with the ones on it now.

Maxima190 & Craig-thats exactly what I was thinking when I took that pic. I just wish it would have turned out better. Oh well I will get some more after I buff the car...spring is just starting so I have a long time before it gets cold again (well winter cold...we will still have a cold spell here and there until May).

Looks to be a satin silver RSX in the car's reflection, I have a blue one .

Maxima looks great. Once mine is painted, I will have more appreciation for it I am sure.
