..not really! Any enthusiast knows its NEVER finished. Even when its finished its not finished. BUT, it has finally reached a longtime goal. Next month will be 2 years that I've owned it. I bought it in July 2005. So that you can see what a huge transformation it has been through, here's a pic of the car the way it sat when I picked it up:

looks good...this is the second 4th gen i've seen with those rims...don't they weight like 30+lbs a pice?

 

The max looks sweet! Happy early 2 year anniversary. Lol

 

WOW! It looks soooo sick! Love the front end.

 

Very nice indeed. Good work. What's next??

 

Your car looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

oooo shyt son lookin clean...better than the blazer u showed up in ahahhaha!

 

Yeah these are heavy rims, they are from a Murano. I don't know how much they weigh, but I don't like them that much. That's my only complaint with this whole car, besides that this thing is flawless and looks amazing. Good Job.

Got to update the signature haha.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys.. its been a lot of hard work and a TON of money! The mod list obviously doesnt illustrate all the extras, like ALL interior lights converted to LEDs, i30 auto dimming rearview mirror, white clock, CLEAN installs, custom built double sided amp rack, yellow top battery and digital capacitor, etc.

 

Got a few more pics, hosting them now.. as for the next project, gonna chill for a bit. Got my mind on a supercharger setup for the future.. who knows? Like I said it never ends. I AM planning on grabbing an HID kit for the fogs in the next month or so.. been detailing under the hood some also. Thinkin bout powercoating my intake manifold and front valve cover black..
Will post up a few more pics in a bit.

Got some night pics of the HIDs and interior..

Do a retrofit and stop blinding people, then you'll be set.

See that light output in that last picture? Compare it to my sig.

 

very nice....the lighting setup and the interior looks great at night

 

Great looking max. love the stance.

 

..I have plans of a possible retrofit in the future, however I've seen a bunch of the retrofits (locally anyways) really botched up! I DID aim the headlights all the way down, and they're pretty even and NOT in peoples rear windows or windshields.. I was crouched down taking those pics. My light 'cutoff line' seems to be around the taillights of most cars in front of me..
I WOULD like to retrofit them eventually though.
DJ

 

Not sure how much they actually weigh, but I DO know they are heavy, definately heavier than stock 15" snowflakes. I like em. I think they look better on my Max than they ever did on any Murano. Some people love em and some people hate em.. I am keepin an eye out for another wheel setup. Maybe black or maybe evo5's..
DJ

 

seeing ur car yesterday and it looks even better in person

 

Very nice and clean...

 

the car is looking good man I never thought those rims would look so good on there

 

that is exactly what I would do to my car if I had enough money and time. Gorgeous.

 

Thanks for the comments guys..

Wuzzy - which max was yers out there on Sunday?
DJ

 

damn.....def. one of the nicest looking maximas on the .org in my opinion. god i want a stillen or ionic lip kit......

 

same here...gret job

 

the 2nd one to the left of yours. I left early. Still working on the mods

 

Mine is fine, and it only took me a weekend. Then again I didn't need to fashion bezels or anything...

You'll be amazed at the output--I remember when I first got my projectors I took 'em to a friend's house (who has a nice power supply). I shined them across the hall/pool (maybe 75 feet or so away, with the blinds down) and five seconds later people started coming out to see what was going on.

 

i want a set of those muranos. every max looks clean wit them

 

looks great! good job!

 

damn dj your car is looking hawt......thats maxima of the month caliber right there!

 

Thanks for all the comments guys! Still got a few things up my sleeve..

MorpheusZero - Do you have pics of yer lights? I am very interested in doing the retro if I can get it clean.. wanna help? LoL What type of projectors did you use? Did you not use bezels?

Wuzzy - Yup I remember, I got pics from Sunday too! Looks good.. it takes time, took me 2 years to get mine to where it is, and I'm actually surprised I did it that quick!

Al - thanks homie! Where do we sign up for that, anyways?! Let's get this started!

DJ (in need of a new sig.. Sig Designers, please PM me!)

 

Thanks! HIDs in the fogs, comprehensive underhood detailing, headrest LCDs, and a couple other things..

Rather unorthodox design, I had to move the battery a bit in order to get 'em to fit. I used TL bixenon projectors, which won't fit inside our housings because of the solenoid.

Compared to 9007 halogen:

 

DJ42o96maX: Car is lookin awesome! Only thing I would do is go a little lower (still a bit of fender gap).

MorpheusZero: The more you post your lights, the more I want em. I think it looks badazzzz recessed into the housing like that. And I may have to retract my previous beliefs regarding bezels...I'm noticing a lot of stray light shooting out of the sides. Sighh, I may have to crack open the lights again

 

very very very nice max bro. i feel like im about to copy your car's looks. i got the murano rimsalready, buti just ordered smoked tailights, bumper lights nd black housing headlights. now i know that it will look sick thanks to you.

hey what do you think the muranos would look like in gunmetal?? gotta do sumthin original right

 

see...

Well... in all fairness, I've posted 'em a LOT. Glad you like 'em man, they're pretty simple to make, albeit a bit tricky...

That's just bonus light.
