well, i had a 00' maxima that was all blacked out so im bored of that look now, but thats an opinion, overall it looks better than it did, deff made a good choice changing the wheels, i have to change mine too lol. deff an improvment, just change the exhaust, short antenna, shave the emblems, and i agree about painting the door handles, even if you did them with a carbonfiber look it would look pretty clean.

Just curious, you mentioned you did "all the work alone".... what work did you do other then add an CAI?
Things I would do-
*Wheel spacers
*Upgrade to 06 headlights/tailights (expensive I know, but the 03-05 lights look dated)
*short antenna
*rear wiper delete
*Lower it (looks like you might be on springs already, but the rear is still a little high)
Thats a good start for now.

Looking at the before and after pics, progress is progress. As long as you're making progress. What you plan on getting for your car depends on what u wanna do with it. Personally, don't go springs. If you're going to end up getting into the suspension, you might as well do it right the first time and get coils. Cause if u go with springs, you may not be happy with the ride and end up buying coils anyway. With coils, you can just adjust from there.
As for wheels, i believe in sticking to the double digits. I plan on running 18x10.5 +15 all around with 15mm spacers in the rear. -2* to -3* camber up front and 0 camber in the rear.
The thing is, im going to be drifting mine. Like I've said, the way you wanna build your car depends on what you wanna do with it. Best piece of advice i can give u, is the first one that was given to me. You can not have both comfort and performance. You will always have to sacrifice one for the other.
Best of luck OP and just have fun with it. (even tho it may come at a price)

Interesting location for the filter
just playin
I suggest Ichiba V2 spacers. What width are your rims? OEM? I did 25mm out back and 20mm up front and it changes the whole look of your car.
What exhaust you lookin @?
I remember your new owner post and everyone hated on your chromantium rims... 100% better upgrade
Car looks good tho!

Depends on the offset of the wheels, Project Kics.
Off of a Honda, S2000, Element, etc. No carbon fiber.
Intakes suck but a Z tube and filter is fine.
Up to you. Don't replace the front bumper completely though, unless you are going to finish the sides and rear. Just a front lip would be fine.
