Ok.. You guys remember when i asked which color i should do?

well, remember when i posted a thread about what color i should do on my car? well, yall had like a dark metallic red and a metallic blue, then some said green and something else.. but i decided with the metallic blue... i still wish i never gotten the body kit.. but eh.. works well for me. what you guys think? I know it's been almost a year since the guy said he was gonna paint my car..

and for those of you who are going to question me, yes, those are 300z rims on my car.... I do not have any rims period. i do not have any money.. so what you guys think about the color?

and special thanks to blkonblk98 for letting me get that nismo license plate frame.

im not a fan of bodykits on maxima's but your car would look better with the right size wheels and plenty inches of droppedness.

I was never a fan of that kit, but with that color I think you needed the kit. I'd like to see more pics of the car before I make my decision on it. My guess based off that pic is that will need new some new rims to go along with the rest. Then it will look nice.

thanks everyone.. i know i need some rims.. and a major drop, but no one is actually willing to let me do like 20 a month payments on some rims.. and of course i can't make payments on a lowering kit.. hence the fact i only make 60-80 bucks a week..

o.O unless someone is willing to lend me a hand? lol

yes, i molded the grill to the fiber glass bumper because the body kit sits farther back in towards the car and the grill sits outward.. i mean if you understand what i mean... in fact, i molded the whole kit onto the car. so it is pretty much seam less. and it looks very good. I will post pics of what the grill looks like. in a few minutes.

you give me some of your money, and i'll make it happen. in fact, you give me the money, and i;ll make it to your standards.

but until then, my financial situation is steep.. especially with my 4,500 hospital bill. o_O

I think your car looks just fine, it looks like those cars from 2fast2furious very SEXY. In fact if you want a stock looking car, I'll trade you my white 97 GLE

I think it looks pretty good. Is the hood C/F or is it just black?
I'd like to see more pictures as well. But it looks pretty good.

That body kit just doesn't look good for some reason. Maybe its the stock rims?

I think it's a good starting point. Plus 1 on the molded, looks great. Once you get some wheels and a drop, it will be pretty damn clean.

I like it myself, I have concidered going blue or graphite grey metalic myself. I think the blue is very sporty and am liking the body kit with it although I already bought a replacement stock look bumper for mine so will probably settle for a lip kit.

Nice color, although I think a nice deep metallic red would have been sick. There have been a few members who have done blue already.

How much did that run you? I've been pondering getting a paint job for some time. Thinking of a midnight blue.

I like the blue. At least you know it's blue. I had the 01 Altima Green/Blue and I never knew what color to call it. I think the DMV called it green but it was hardly green. Your color is that of the deep ocean(for us east or west coast boaters) so not bad at all.

well, my first car was this, its a 70 mark 5 toyota corona, and i got it for 500.00 from my aunt. so i would'nt complain about driving what you got cause i could'nt afford gas back then let alone modding which there was none. there was'nt even tire shine back then, just turtle wax!!! your car looks fine allthough im not a fan of da kit. keep it mechanically sound and worry about modding it when you get a better job.

You've come a long way. Still don't understand why you blocked out the high beams on the R34s, though.

Please tell me that you thought about headlight removal and adjustment before fiberglassing the grille in. You do realize that the grille has to come out for the headlights to be removed. Hopefully, you cut off the headlight tabs and mounted the grille right to the car. If not, then I hope you don't get any condensation or other issues with them.
