Liquid Glass and some new Tails...

Well I broke down and finally bought a set, unsure if I like them yet, but a fumble in the garage led me to buying them. (Dropped 2 of my taillights while out). Now I don't know, I may have to get clear front to match, but I like the amber...it sets it off a little. I also polished my car with Liquid Glass...my car has seriously never been this glassy. I don't think the pics do justice over how different and better it looks from using Eagle One or Meguire's.
That's my buddy Josh's '97 Arctic White Pearl in the background

Thanks for the compliments! Not bad for a car with 165,000 miles thats driven 100 miles a day huh? As for the Liquid Glass, love this stuff!! I agree with Burnurass, LG woops the snot out of Meguire's and anything else I have ever used! I wish I could see what it would do to a dark car, my color is an easy color to keep clean.

I am still iffy on the lights though. I guess they will grow on me. Since I have the Cefiros, I can either get "smoked" or "black" bumper lights, I don't know which will look better. I like my ambers, but now they appear out of place, and 'old'.

My car has always been Sterling Mist. In the background is my friend's White A32, (maybe where the confusion is ) never said anything about beige. Burnurass is right, all I did was polish the car and install smoked/ clear tails.

Just for opinion purposes, which do you all think would look better with my existing lights (black Cefiros up front/ body color (Sterling Mist):

Thanks! This is where I bought them

I already have Cefiro headlights installed, the black housing ones. Thats why I am undecided on the bumper lights to go with. One style matches my head lights, the other matches my taillights. Never really seen the clear/ "jdm black" style ones ever installed on a A32. Just smoke or clear have I seen. This may a harder decision then I anticipated.

I think its and illusion from the sunset at the time I took the pictures. The underhood is grayish in person (since my car is sterling mist), I see how it may appear white if you aren't used to seeing that engine bay. Also, the outside shots appear to be beige from the sunset as well. I understand now what you meant.

Looks really good, although the one thing i think it needs is to have the Nissan emblem removed or dropped down to where it normally sits, it looks weird there.

Ya I don't know which place its suppose to be. My buddy's white one has it about and inch lower, both of our cars were punched in the rear that we have found out (before we owned them) so we don't know which emblem is in the right spot. I had thought about removing it, but I like the Nissan there. I WANT people to know I drive a Nissan. Its PURE PRIDE.


I will tell you that whomever repaired our cars did a BAD job. His bumpers don't match, neither do mine. My back bumper bolts also were not tight, not to mention I have found 2 leaks in the trunk from a bad job with the seam sealer. What a nightmare! I don't understand why repair shops do bad work anymore. When I repair a customers car, I do the best of my ability, then I go over it to make sure everything is within factory specs, or better (and I am not a body repair person). I just don't understand the logic.

Thanks everyone for compliments though, it comes greatly appreciated. I take a lot of pride in the reflection I can achieve on the Max's finish. Especially for how much I drive, and with it being a daily.
