I saw Nealoc187 show his so, here's mine.
I actually did a similar 97-99 grille and headlight swap.

That looks really nice. The velox rims look good too. I thought they were volk GT-Ns in the side view.

I got a good price on them, so I jumped on it. Only weigh in at 18 lbs, so they're not bad.
Thanks for the nice comments folks!

Brian,
The sumitomos are awesome. I had Nittos and let me tell you, they SUCK in the rain. My friend has Yokohama Paradas on his car, and those suck too...
You get massive grip with these. I think you'll love'em. by your driving style, these tires have your name written all over'em.

I like the car Mikey, looks great with those rims. When do you want to go to RT66 and run our cars maybe Brian can come along and break 14 for once . Also i want to see what an auto with NOS will do .

They are Sparco Hood Pins. The guys at this shop "Driver's Image" said that other cheapo brands break, and that sparco's are the best.
Anyways...
I haven't taken it to the track yet. I'm guessing it'll hit lower 14's...I hope. My car has 148,000 miles on it. We'll see.

Sparco? Funny because I was thinking about buying that brand of hood pins anyway.

There are holes on the raidator mounts. Behind the headlights. I just put the pins into the holes with washers, and just to be safe, I covered it up with Epoxy.

Very Nice looking maxima. The 97 grille looks very nice and I think I just might just do that instead of a total conversion.
