My car one year later

RedGrandTour · 03-03-2007, 01:38 PM

Well, the Maxima has been lowered and the traction,steering and handling has greatly improved with this car. This spring it will get new front brakes (slotted or cross drilled),RSB and front strut tower brace. I would've done a light Luminar tint but the cops around pull you over for that and tinted plate covers.

I still like USA too. I don't know how long I'll have this car but it won't be my last.

They are "concerning light" that are set to light up with either turn signal. I took those out and wired a set of Optilux 2500 angel eye lights. Just to do something different and they light up the ground pretty good. The fogs are next to the hids in the headlight just like the Acura TL. Now that the car is lower, the hid's seem to be aimed lower and give a more blue color.

I've been around this site for a long time and other members have other cars and stick around too.

Thanks everyone.
-Peace

Lookin good. Did you change the rims out to G35 wheels, or am I smoking crack? Definately lookin good- keep it up. Tint would look great.

Yep, They fit with the same tires. These rims sit out meeting the fenders. I didn't think the car needed chrome wheels so I went with silver.

Thanks

Im soooo happy Im from a state that allows tint.

Looks amazing though. I went and saw one of the new Maximas in person and they are way bigger then I thought for some reason. Yours looks good.

You are lucky, I have not had one ticket at all since I got this car a year ago. I still drive like I did in the GA and I always got tickets. I've been pulled over twice and got a warning both times. One for a tinted plate cover(Illinois new plate cover law). My co-worker has a lexus and the tint looks reflective or mirror by day and dark at night.

bballr4567 · 03-06-2007, 07:20 PM

Shoot I got 5% on the rear and 35% on the front on my coupe. I want to get darker on the fronts soon though.

BTW you didnt want to get the rear to front sunroof??

The rear/front sunroof is standard and does not open. The Moonroof comes with the Driver prefered package or VDC(Vehicle dynamic Control) package. You Won't notice that roof on dark colors like black and smoke but on Silver it looks really good with tinted windows.

bballr4567 · 03-06-2007, 10:04 PM

Ohhh I didnt know that. Sucks major balls. My next car will have a moonroof!!!

What else are you planning to do it?

XMBlackGT1 · 03-07-2007, 09:47 PM

Go take a test drive in one of the 2007's with CVT- You thought yours flew, the new one with CVT is awesome. Whenever possible, I'll take one home from work and constantly have to watch my speed, because you can't feel it shift, so you think you are going slow, then wham bam, you look at the speedo and you're going 100. Sweet cars! I hope Infiniti puts the CVT in the new G coupe- I'm down for one.

Your car looks awesome- keep it up!

Nice car but the door handles bother me. They'll make a good target for the birds flying above.

Exodus · 03-14-2007, 09:41 AM

Noice.

OT: The New Altimas need its own look. They look too similar to the Maxima
