Plasti diped Maxima

Before I used any plasti dip on my maxima, i looked up pictures,
Problem was, I couldnt find any pictures. But I messed around any way.
So here are some pictures of what a 5th gen looks like with parts plasti-diped (I used flexi-dip. Way better)

Pictures go from oldest to newest

Stock:



Grille:



Rims and grille:




New Grille, Side markers, White rim guards, White lugs, Fogs




Black Gas cover




Black Tail lights, Emblem, License plate cover



And today... Black aftermarket fogs, black side view mirrors

l think those accent trim things look nice. I don't care for black or chrome rims, but that is a personal call.

In the last photo, I can see something red behind the grill. I think you should do something about that.

I have Hella horns on my Max that the manufacturer paints red. But they turned flat black before they were installed on my car.

Not much a fun of plasti dip.. I see too many kids with it and it's just played out in my opinion. Keep the car clean and mod it tastefully. I have the exact same car as you, with not a trace of dip on the car and i personally think it couldn't be any cleaner. Our cars look great with hyper silver wheels or even gun metal wheels.

If I didn't have brand new 16'' pirellis I'd get the SE rims.
They're the best looking rim for our maximas.


random pic.

Stupid question, but is that an OEM front plat bracket, or aftermarket. I don't have a plate on my front but will need one soon for I am about to register in NYC
