Here are a couple of shots of my new Maxima... A 96 SE 5spd. This has replaced my 92 Maxima GXE that was totaled on December 10, 2003.(Check it out on my other maxima.org page. CLICK HERE!) Notice I used the same wheels and tires from my old car (18" RS Limited Senso wrapped in 225/40/18 Nitto tires) since they were the only things not damaged in the wreck.

Just wanted to post a before and after of my new look. I got myself a set of 20's for my birthday a few weeks ago. They are 20x7.5 Volt Racing 753 S with 235/35/20 Nitto Tires.......NO RUB! I was nervous to put them on at first since every shop I went to said that combo would not fit and would deffinitely rub. And that's with the stock suspension...I'm lowered and there's still plenty of room! That make me wonder if I could have got 20x8.5's with a deeper lip...hmmmmmm? I'll have better pics up soon. Just wanted to give you guys a taste!

Just wanting to show a couple of shots of my new tail lights. I melted my original ones trying to make red/clears....unaware that the red/clear mod did not apply to the 95-96 Max's. In the process of putting them back together, I accidently left them in the oven too long and they warped and were really ugly. So, I bought a new set off of ebay, along with testors candy apple red transparent paint and black tint spray, and painted them. I think they turned out nice, and go well with my granite pearl.

After two grueling months of being without a car, I'm finally back in the game! Check out the integrated 7" in-dash monitor and Sony head unit. (Also a few items removed from my 92 Max; I had two of these monitors installed in the sunvisors.) I think that gives my vehicle a nice, clean factory look...and the ladies LOVE it!
Here are a couple bad shots of the exterior with the DVD on just before sunset. I have 5.6" monitors for the headrests, but I gotta save money to be able to get window tinting and the monitors intalled at the same time. Night photos coming soon!

Here are a couple amateur shots of the 5.6" monitors I got installed on Friday, April 16 2004 at "Dynamite Electronics" in Arcadia, CA [4251 E Live Oak, Unit #8 (ask for "George"if you want a good deal on custom installs )]. I also got the window tinting done medium dark (20%) all around. Looks tight huh...yeah...I know! More photos coming soon of the install process and the finished product!

DAAAMN! I've got the best of both worlds! Playing music videos on my DVD player allows me to watch the video and bump at the same time...WOW!

Here is one shot of the interior at night. As you can see, my digital camera doesn't take good night photos...but, it was the best I could do. New camera and night photos coming soon!

OUT with the old...IN with the new!Above are shots of my old set of subs and my new ones. On the left are my old subs (12' MTX Thunder 4000's) and on the right are my new subs (12" Audiobahn AW122T). I miss my old subs, but my new ones eeease the pain by breakin up the concrete as I roll by...Ah Ah Ah Ah! The MTX Subs were great while they lasted. I had them for a little over three years and they finally both gave out. I blew the cone off of one and the next week the wires connected to the cone on the second one had burned up. It was a sad day...and I was without Beat for 2 months. After doing my research, I found a good deal on these Audiobahn subs on EBay and I am very pleased with them. They hit loud and clean! They're also the first step in getting a custome job done in my trunk. Next I need to buy three Audiobahn amps and a couple of caps. I plan on being done with the system by Summer 2005. Wish me luck!
Since I couldn't get a good shot of the Kenwood 6.5" speakers I installed in the rear deck, I took a picture of the box. They're not the best speakers Kenwood has to offer, but they sound a million times better than stock(expecially when the stock speakers were blown)
This is all you can see of the 1600W Power Acoustic amp between the rear seat pass-through. A little money can buy alot of power! Soon, the amp subs and box will be changed, but keep in mind...I've only had the car for 1 month!

Have you heard of the place named "West Coast Customz" (As seen on MTV's 'Pimp My Ride")? Well, I've got someone better than them and cheaper..my "Momma"! I had a promblem with people raising the armrest up in the backseat because the plastic door was too hard and uncomfortable. But, when they raise up the door, I lose BASS coming from the trunk into the car and outside. So, to make rear seat passengers comfortable AND keep them from raising up the armrest, my Momma decided to customize the armrest. I think it turned out to be tight...Thanks Mom!

Here's a shot of my engine bay showing off the custom intake, front strut tower bar (FSTB), painted valve cover, and now my new Optima Red Top battery. All in which I did myself. I'm thinkin about polishin a couple things here and there and adding a dress up kit. Just don't know what color to do. But, for now, black and chrome looks hot.

I've just completed the "Anniversary Edition" headlight conversion on 8-7-04. It was easier than I thought it would be and it only took a couple of hours. Photos Coming Soon!

I hope everyone likes my ride so far. I plan on going all out with this one. Hopefully I'll be able to get it supercharged by the end of the year. I will be updating photos very often, so stop by frequently to check out my progress. Holla at me! Don't forget to sign my guestbook and check out Page 2 for photos and descriptions of my previous cars!
