This is the first time in the world anyone has manufactured these to fit Maximas, so go get some

Alex

 

Opinions, anyone????

 

Very...um...southwestern?!? It's nice, but I don't wear cowboy boots. I will think about it, though. Thanks for making stuff for Maxima's either way.

Erik

 

Alluminum? I think it looks nice but its too "harley motorcycle" looking to me. I like it if it was plain

 

I see

 

I nice solid polished billet allum. would be nice then I will buy one

 

Ok
so you want a straight one, no writing or design?

 

Would this work on my Battery? I have so much extra stuff hooked up to it...

Alarm
Subs...etc...its hard to see the terminals..I can post a pic if you want

Erik

 

please post the pic

 

i like the more simpler ones like hayame's and dc sports battery tie downs...simple...

 

As I just said, they are ready to go just plain, with no design on top.

 

what about the shape? are they already pre-milled or can you make them into any shape you want?

 

This is the design we are making, choice is with or without the logo.

 

 

plain is better. if it was plain, i would get one. it should fit an optima yellow top right?

 

plain is better.....or put "M A X I M A" on it.....just like what is on our cars...

 

That sounds good.. ex. Like the Chrome AE Sills

 

Guys, so many people are asking if they are available without the logo, and the answer is yes!!!!! Also, I checked with Nissan, and that in fact, I cannot do without their written permission.
Thanks

Uncle Alex.. check your pm's

 

Thanks Sprinty

 

hmmmm. what did he tell you?
also where is the pic for the plain one?

 

Pic of the plain one is the pic of the logo'd one without the logo

 

Makes sence to me.

It really does look neat. I like the battery dress-up. Just got an oil filler cap though. I'm trying to alternate, physics, flash, physics...Working on exhaust right now. Also, the Chrome Razo shifter looks fantastic. I get a kick out of it everytime I shift.

 

Alex: you back for good now! yay!! Anyway that sucks that we cant do the MAXIMA thing. How do people do nisan sholder pads, indiglow door stills and stuff? I dont think anything bad would happen to ya if you did it, of course its your @ss on the line, not mine, so i see why you are being safe about it all. Anyway id love to see this on a car. Thanks for makign stuff for us

 

How about one that says NISMO or GTR?

 

Read above

 

I think a brushed aluminum billet tie down would be cool.

 

Just print Calsonic on it, it's the same thing .

 

NO GT-R!!! we arent skylines..

do a billet oil cap.. i need a damn polished one..

 

DAMN GUYS
Never before has there been such a thing for our cars. We go through all this ****, make these kick *** tie down bars, and no one wants em???
Wow... This is definetely a surprise...

 

Im planning on ordering one of the plain ones soon.
I guess everyone still has these maxima,nismo,gt-r things that they wanted engraved and are just waiting to see whats the final result before purchasing I guess.

 

We just thirty more plain ones (all polished) in....
We can do whatever the hell people want, just everyone come to a consensus, and we will rock and roll, and engrave whatever you all want. If Jambo could e-mail me back, we could do Maxima.org

 

heh...thanks for making something new...i might get the plain one

 

Is there a possibility of making bends in the tie down?

____xxxxxxxx _______
xxxx\_______/

(x's are just filler for alignment on the screen)

Something like this would allow for the smaller optima batttery, yet hold the relocated coolant resevoir (s/c).

I can measure it out if it's possible.

 

Measure it, give me the distances (length, width) give me bend sizes and we are good to go.

 

Is there anyway to make them straight cut rather than flare out at the ends?? IMHO i think it woul look cleaner just being rectangular in shape but with curved edges as pictured. Also can you make them without any logo AT ALL?? just plain polished...

Im in for one as soon as you finalized some designs.

2 conditions that need to be considered:

1) will it fit an Optima Yellow/Red/Blue/Orange top battery
2) will work with factory posts to for securing

thanks,

Ant

 

Erik, it wont interfere with any of your wiring, unless you have wires litterally running across your battery and underneath your battery holder.

Ant

 

Ok, we have the plain ones out right now, as many different people have ordered them. We have the straight cut ones coming out within two weeks, and these will not flare out, rather be straight across in a rectangular shape.

Thank you all for your feedback, it is very much appreciated.

 

I don't remember seeing a poll asking what kind of design people wanted. If I'm wrong, let me know.
