I'm lucky that there's a very experienced and talented PDR guy in my area. A few yeas ago I watched in amazement as he totally eliminated several dings in my 2003 G35. If the paint isn't chipped,...

Java mettalic, thumbs up.

I've seen the new Java metallic in person, and I noticed it right away. Very rich. I sure wish it had been available in 2010 when I got my new SV -- it would have been my color choice, with...

As with the original poster of this thread, I too am interested in seeing the new colors. When I got my new 2010, it was one of the few times in my life that I was buying a new car and had the...

I don't think I was off topic at all, and so what if the thread is old?

Guys, I don't think my post was the one referred to for "bumping a three year old thread." Look at the quote specified in the bottom, somebody else made some lame comment and I think it was deleted....

re-badging for SV

I for one, don't really get this trend towards de-badging, unless the original emblems are badly done. I also cannot for the life of me figure out why the 7th Gen Maxima dispensed with the engine...

Just switched from Bridgestone to Michelin

Three years ago, I made multiple posts about just how lousy I thought the OEM Goodyear RSAs were. The worst issue is that the car wouldn't track straight -- required constant little steering inputs,...

OK, brought my car to dealership yesterday, figuring I'd have to convince them there was a strange vibration/rattle coming from my rear headliner (full front/rear glass roof). Turns out there is a...

Repair results

Today the local dealer serviced my problem under NTB09-132 which has to do with re-torquing a series of bolts around the roof frame. This applies only to models with the front/rear glass roof. It...

I found and printed out the NSB (..138) and was very excited at the prospect that this might improve the "bumpy" feeling at 30 mph and 1200 rpm. I thought I'd get up early today, figuring it'd be a...

Here's how it would have looked, had I removed the round NISSAN badge and put the type up there between spoiler and chrome trim (done in Photoshop). Looks nice like this too, I think.

RE-Badging Maxima (but different!)

Like many on this site, I really grew to hate the MAXIMA letters on the trunk lid. I'm a graphic designer by profession, so I'm admittedly very picky about things like this. I didn't like their font...

Good going, Atlanta10! Now you have to let us know what you think after you have the new tires on the car for a few days. Also curious what tire pressure you end up with.

At 1400 miles, I decided I'd had enough of the Goodyear RSA's, and bought Bridgestone Potenza RE760s. I've had them for a couple of weeks now, and I think the difference in handling is considerable....
