My new Max...and an introduction

Since I'm new here and haven't introduced myself yet, the names Dylan and I traded in my lifted Jeep for my 99 pearl white maxima in july. it was stock then and now I've got the system in it, 18" rims, 20% tint, intake, and clear corners. I want to drop it and get a y-pipe soon. Just figured I'd introduce myself and show some pics:

When I got it:



Rims and tint

Clear Corners

hey dylan, welcome to the .org. I love the car and white is one of my favorite colors. Just look at how clean looking you can get it by looking at russianmax's! One thing you should worry about, however, is that sunroof deflector. I don't mind the look of them, but from personal experience, if you ever want to take it off you might have a permanent mark from where it used to sit. Just a heads up bud!

Noice, white is the best color hands down, let the stupid BonB losers rage at that one (Edit: Like the loser above with the slowest and dirtiest 4th gen in massachusetts, tru story)

I know you don't have much done, but if you want to come out and meet some of the other mass members I'm putting togethor a dyno meet on the 11th, there's a thread in the NE regionals section.

Best part is they were only 300 bucks off Craigslist...with tires in decent shape. I needed new tires on the stock rims so I figured why not spend less and get new 18's for less

Im from Rehoboth

And thanks for the warning about the deflector, I guess that bad boys gonna be staying. I had originally thought of taking it off but never got around to it.

And yes, I was big into the offroading scene. Notice the chopped front bumper for more clearance on rocks....interesting, cutting the bumper in half...it seems all you guys (and me too now) want to add to make it lower haha how times change

Going from ride high to flying low. Welcome. I highly suggest a simple belt driven intake for your overtaking needs.

Looks good. I see that it's a '99. I'm thinking about selling my '96 and getting a '99 SE. How much did you get yours?

Good job. Welcome. Just lower that bad boy and rip off the sunroof deflector and you'll be good for a while.
