GS is coming along nicely. Love the max. I had a 98 sterling mist 4th gen myself before the GS. Beautiful car. That thing is a sleeper. Every generation after the 4th Gen max just looks bloated and boat-like. The 4th Gen holds true to the "sport sedan" classification.

That is the steering wheel mounted cruise controls that you see in the ashtray.. I took a switch from a different year, tore it down to the circuit board, and modified it to fit into the ashtry and function 100%. I saw here on CL how someone fabbed an Apexi Neo into the ashtray of a GS4.. I LIKE! Eventually, I want to do the same thing.. I dont smoke cigarettes, so therefore the ashtray is nothing more than a change bucket for me anyhow..

Thanks for all the compliments, guys! The Maxima was my project for 3 years. I've only owned the GS for 4 months! Cant wait for Spring/Summer to get here.. I bought it just before Winter! 
I find that people either love or hate the tail lights.. I like the contrast, although I wasn't originally looking to go that dark with them. I tinted them with the intention of eventually changing them down the line anyhow. I really like the aftermarket red/clears, 01+ style with the thin clear down below.. I like the idea of LEDs, but have had horrible experience with LEDs LASTING. I noticed a couple of folks on here selling used LED tails with LEDs out, as well.. Id like to grab a set of newer style red/clears, NON-LED, without breaking the bank! JP charges an arm and half a leg for a pair, dont they?
I also cant wait to get the 19s on it.. but with the crap we have on the ground right now, that probably wont happen for at least another month or so! Gonna polish them up in the meantime, and get them ready..
The kit is definately RMM.. and fits quite well, except for where the drivers fender meets the front cover. There, the cover is actually damaged, where it bolts to the fender, causing it to stick out just a lil bit. Rather than fuss with fixing it, I ordered up a new front cover. ($675 - ouch!) I think the previous owner tagged a parking stone or something! There is another crack near the bottom, also..
The Maxima is BABIED. I mean like garaged, not driven in inclement weather, waxed twice a year, etc! It IS pretty mint. Im retarded-OCD with my rides.. I would def be rich if I didn't love cars so much! Car and electronics are my weaknesses.. oh well!

2GS4Jay - No worries! Like I stated, I think the previous owner tagged something lightly in the front. The cover is tweaked a bit. I already have a new one, just waiting for Spring to have it painted and put on.. Once it's on, a realignment of the hood should solve the gap issues near the headlights. The tiny blemish towards the back doesnt bother me enough to warrant the purchase of another $700 cover! All in time, my friend.. Look at the before and after pics of the Maxima! lol
