been waiting 7 months to put the rims (5th Gen TE) on & 11 months to put the headlights (R34 style) in, not to mention getting the front bumper & hood repaired (accident in September), but all that mess is done & this is the end result:






sorry the last two are so damn dark, but if you look closely, Washington Monument & National Air Force Memorial in the backgrounds. not too shabby for a 266k-mile grocery-gettin' family sedan...

 

looks really good. i like the look of the TE wheels on the black max. do you have any day shots? also i think the all red and white taillight setup would look much better than the ones that are on there currently. overall

Edit: Dark tints would also set it off.

 

- you can have my altezzas when you pry them from my cold dead hands.

- local laws (Virginia) are too strict for any decent tint job, so i don't bother.

- nothing in the daytime yet...weather didn't cooperate this weekend.

 

very nice.

I like the taillights a lot, although I have to admit I don't know what they look like in the daylight.

 

oh, they look like so much p00p in daylight...night-time is why you'd buy them; on the upside they're bright as hell, so anyone behind you can't claim they didn't see you.

 

Where's the car?

 

- i guess ill have to start prying

-i have 20% on my Grey Lustre Max and i haven't had any problems yet. it seems that darker cars don't get hastled as much due to the tint blending in well. You have a black car so now worries there.


Were in VA are you? The first few pictures look like there at FFX towne center s parking garage. The others i have no idea?

 

i drive in FFX & Arlington most of the time, so i don't need an EXTRA reason for them to hassle me.

first 2 were in Tysons Corner in the middle of night; other two in Arlington/Crystal City area.

 

The tail lights are sexy.

 

id say it was well worth the wait.. niiccceeeee

 

as close to daylight as it's gonna get for awhile:

 

Looks good man.Def luvin those rims.

 

dc max rumaging thru giving dap and rolling out

 

man....i liking those fogs and heads, what the hell are in there.!!!!!!!!

 

well done. its just right.

you didnt overkill on the cosmetic mods like so many i see.

 

mhmm...i approve.

 

very clean, nice!

 

GO CHR1S

 

sorry for the delay answering your PM's, but you have the info now. for the masses, the headlamps & bulbs (bulbs) are Sylvania Silverstars; anyone who knows the brand also knows they're butt-expensive ($20/each retail) and do NOT last as long as most standard (stock buttery yellow ), so u pay a premium to be "cute". also, obviously, the more clouded your stock housings are, the worse they're gonna look; if your headlight housings a relatively clear, you WILL notice a real difference in brightness & color vs. stock bulbs.

hope this helps...

FYI - my headlights are not stock (obviously); the bulbs i use are 9006 vs. 9004 for stock headlights.

 

Angela really REALLY digs it.

 

you're not a hot enuff chick to call my name, so .

 

I like the way the TE wheels looks on your car. Are yo on stock suspension?

Bloo LEDs inside? FT??

 

You of all people.....rocking altezza's.......just doesnt make much sense.

 

very clean .... and 2xx,xxx plus miles is great to hear

 

nuh uh...that's the reflection from the blue screen on the HU.

and yes, car is lowered just slightly...nothing brutal.

 

since '03...u musta fuhgat.

 

placeholder so i can find this later...more pix coming.

 

i like everything about it, it flows right on the black

 

Car looks great with the TE wheels. Your car looks in exceptional condition for 266k. Great job keeping the car in good condition.

 

no duct-tape eyelids, no care...

 

i got my Mod Spray out...kssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh! u shoo!

 

amazing what a simple carwash can do sometimes...

 

Let's see more additions to the other addition.

 

no mods to that 'cept polish & wax...

 

 

Are you over 300K yet?

Car looks great, the R34s clean up the front end while the TE wheels pull it all together. Nice ride.

 

321,500 something something...

 

joo stole my wheels man!!! they're sexy on any dark colored max!!! nice

 

damn ur max doesnt even look like it has 321k miles, looks like 80k

 

eh, the tail light look gross. sorry but i dont know why you would want them. yes they kinda look cool at night when you have them on but the whole housing looks hidious.


maybe if the housing looked like these and the red part were circle LED's and be able to put the stock lenses over them, it can kinda look R33ish
