DONE!.... well, almost.

After owning the car for 2 and a half years I can finally say its the maxima Ive always wanted. I do still have plans for a 3.5 swap with a lightened flywheel and direct port with the Kinetix intake manifold tuned with the Emanage Ultimate; but that wont happen till next spring. As for now Ive done just about everything Ive wanted on the car.... So we'll start from the beginning.

Sweet progress, oh my it looks so damn good!

 

whoa dude... how many rims did you go thru???

clean 4th gen man....for real.

 

That thing looks a-****ing-mazing!!!! congrats man, I hope the rest of the modding you have left to do goes well. Good luck with it.

 

The color is not the Nissan KH3 although it may look similar.

Ive always wanted a really dark metallic grey that was almost black. This is the Audi/VW Obsidian Metallic Pearl. Its hard to see in the pictures but in the light there is a distinct metallic flake to it. I do need to wet sand the car to get rid of the orange peel (which is why it doesnt look very glossy right now) but I have to wait a bit since I just got the paint done. But that should bring out the reflection tremendously.

You can kinda see the flake here:








Anyway, there she is.. finally

 

thanks for the compliments guys!

some interior shots

 

Picture #3 in Post #6 is my new desktop background. It looks stunning, very nice car.

Oh yeah...fix that trunk alignment. It's sitting a little high on the right side.

 

looks sick man, just get rid of those tan pillars inside the car and your good to go

 

^^ yea man, the tan is slowly on its way out... that will be taken care of as well as the back seat soon

 

the black looks real nice. Wetsanding should be fun... but then the paint will really come out after thats done. Did you do the door jams and engine bay also?

 

thanks man, i like it bc its metallic flake which differentiates it from all the KH3s (which I also love ) Im going to do the jams myself bc im workin on a budget.... college kid finances FTL

 

hey grant you need some interior pieces? I got full interior from my old black on black '96 which was wrecked awhile ago.


oh btw, car is lookin good.

 

^^^^ really i may have to take you up on that, thanks Jason!

 

now thats a lot of changes, sad to see one less CG2.

 

Very nice! You need to bring out those wheels! But other than that it looks great, i'll even let the seats slide

 

Your car is straight fire man...if you dont mind me askin how much was that paint job? Did they have to do any body work before paint?

 

By far the absolute most beautiful Maxima. I'm sold on it. Great job Grant. Must have more pics. Nevermind, I'll get them in person.

I cannot say enough good things. You make me want to get a 4th, just for the eye candy factor! Desktop worthy, ........On all three computers.

 

damn that black looks hot

 

thats an over statement


but its a nice car

 

that paint job just made your car. how much did it cost u

 

Looks Great, that color looks very nice! Can't wait to see it wet sanded. Drop us some pics when you do.

 

Looks excellent man.Great Job.!!!!!

 

That's a waste of bandwidth^^^^^^^

 

Love your Max, I love the transformation a lot. Bet you dumped some major mu-lah in that Max huh? Glad you changed the color. Dark just looks better in my eyes. Great job

 

Wow, very impressive transformation! I like the new paint & brakes.

 

damn, the car looks real nice man..wasnt expecting the color change reading the post but stunning turnaround

 

nice transformation, thats a lot for 2 years awesome

 

Looks really nice man! Nice and clean

 

very clean mang , love the wheels

 

Wow..I agree with Swee, by far that is the best looking Maxima I have seen.
Very nice Grant!!! I must come up and see!! I thought that it was a good looking car...now I KNOW that it is the best looking Maxima I have seen!
Those wheels do clean up that car!! Do you think that you will catch on a lot of those Raleigh(SP?) bumps?

 

Wow, incredible... might want to find all your lug nuts though.

 

Great transition!!!

 

haha, yea...... ive been meaning to replace those studs for awhile, im so lazy

thanks for all the compliments guys!

 

sooooo nice

those wheels > *

 

nice work. finish out that interior and your a1.
