Looks wonderful, yes indeed blacked-out lights and lips make cars look a lot cleaner and not too flashy.

IMO the non-cleared headlights look better. More aggressive. It's like black 4th gens with stock bumper lights, they flow better than clear.

Because the fender gap is the same front and back and it's perfect. That's why...

that is my favorite color in that generation maxima. The headlights look good, you got your mind-right with leaving the amber in there, its classy and flows perfectly.

Thanks for all the compliments guys

The lip will be painted someday. It does not bother me that it is not painted at the moment, because its pretty much the same color as my car, just not glossy.

In the near future, my plan is to get the rest of the stillen kit, and paint it in gloss black. I think it will make the lower part of the car stand out, but not that much. just classy-like

maybe some carbon fibre one day.
