So today i washed, waxed and pretty much buffed my car until my hand fell off since i dont own an electric buffer. these are the results. please share opinion!

 

 

Looks good..


Edit: where's the evo??

 

subaru has been dead for awhile. poor suby. and if ur talking about my blue evo i had i couldnt afford it. my dad made me move out and rent is more important:-(
that

 

Oh..Ok

 

looks good, now bring it back down to earth.

 

yeah wow i forgot what mine looked like before i lowered it. that should be next on your list,
but it looks great, wish i could get mine looking that clean

 

Wow thats prett clean..NICE WORK
Like they said, next on the list should be some springs/struts. Also some VE tails to match the centerpiece...

 

not bad, but sure as heck not my taste.

 

The paint is clean and shiny. You have a nice base to work with and you have some tasteful mods.

I am not much of a fan of those wheels and a drop is needed, along with the strange mix of tail pieces. I would also pay Michael to smoke your clear corners (or pay $$ for UK ones). Those stand out a lot. Maybe it's just the picture.

 

closest to UKs you can get that will stay that color.

 

you missed a spot.

lol jk man. looks great.


ps: why cant i post new topics and how do i upload an avatar??? im newb

 

that's what I am talking about...

If I cared more about cosmetic stuff, I would do that for mine.

 

Nice pics man, looks very nice!

Question though, whats that "heresmymind" and "HMM" censor over the license plate mean? I know it's a censor but a black line will do fine...

 

Looks good it would look even better lowered

 

wow nice and the paint shines well!

some uk corners or michaels painted ones would do you wonders.

 

after its lowered and has 92-94 se tails on it with an se spoiler and a 92-94 se grill....your set....

 

hmm stands for heresmymind. its my email adress and old aim = sn. also im gettin ve tails and stock spoiler friday for 50$ from my local foreign parts dealer. they got one wrekced in front half. i asked for the wing. they said whole trunk piece for 50$ since its not inventoried yet. so they ripped it off for me and are holding it:-p, how much for uk cornors? thanx for the comments guys!

 

the problem isnt so much money but finding them. They are not easy to come by. You can get the new for $150-$200 each I think.

 

Wow, wish my paint looked like that and rust-free great job! If you dont mind me asking, what products did you use? for the wash and the waxing?

 

thats a sweet BLACK maxima... mann i cant do black here in florida it would deff get OWNED by the sun
the headlight mod = sweetness
beautiful piece of car you got there

 

Nice but the headlights and fog lights aren't to my liking. The car is too square, including the tail lights to have that obvious circular lights in the front. It just looks off. Like a Yogo with a tail fin.

 

are there any circular lights (without MAJOR modification to the body) for a 3rd gen?

 

alright. i used armor tire foam which makes them shine like no tomorrow for like a week. Eagle one rim cleaner. and for car wash i use 100% dawn dish washing liquid!. the wax i use is a secret :-p but i let it dry all over whole car for 1 hour atleast before removing:-P the ve tails centerpiece and wing come friday! i'll take more pics

 

Beautiful - looks like a high speed polish.

 

Sweet ride were did you get the lights from love those man.

 

alright the e36healdights i picked up for 50$ shipped off ebay, some kid totaled his 325 in the back or something. and the stock bmw frames were cracked. But since we dont need them it didnt matter. Major steal right there. the foglights with halos/projecters were 45$ shipped off ebay also. the projecter is amazing. though they are squeezed very tightly in to the area if you drill holes into the metal frame for the brackets.

 

Nice job! Geez, that car is in great shape..

 

sorry for asking, new to maxima's, but what are EV tails? and whats the diff between the stock side lenses and the UK's ?
thanks

 

VE tails are the tail lights used on 92-94 SE model maximas.
Stock side lenses are clear with an amber reflector.
UK corners are darkened with no bulbs or amber

 

Hey Micheal, did you paint your corners on the inside, or outside of the lens? Also what is that messed up looking trim around the left side of the corners? Glue?

 

I paint the outside...those are some I did for someone else. I use the same clear I paint cars with but add a paint mixture to it for the tint. It will not fade like spray can tint etc.

The trim looks funny because the tape is still on it. I tape the trim up so its not sprayed with the lens.

 

Well I'm painting mine soon with a light coating of VHT Nightshades. I want them to look pretty close to the ones in those pics. I am doing the outside of the lens. I'm also going to be using clearcoat after I'm done. Any tips or suggestions?


Thanks.

 

you should probabaly handle any more questions in PM so we dont ***** up this guys thread.

I dont have any suggestions on VHT though...I really have no experience with rattle can stuff. I do know VHT is darker so you will need to do light coats or you will make them too dark. Expect it to fade in a few weeks if your car stays in the sun. I have seen and heard that night shades fades...it may take longer than a couple of weeks but it will eventually fade although clear should help some.

 

Thank You

 

Tell me that isnt a fart can on there.

Paint looks great. I got a cheap $15 buffer from Shucks and it isnt too bad.

 

haha nope. reactive.

 

Amen to the cheap buffer, I got one for $5.17 after my employee discount at work...does a decent job too especially if the car already looks like new

 

good job an that buffing part.

 

These bad boys come STANDARD on our australian maximas
And that black polished maxima looks unreal.. maybe i should polish my one like that?..
