Tee, thanks, yeah, nice choice of color.

drpatel77, It has factory air, so I can get a datasystem to lower it, and the kit is WALD.

jman-LS430, Thanks,
Yeah, it's about time, I just had a hard time decide which Camera to get, I settled with P80, which I am happy with it so far. Can't get SLR since my skill simply sucks.

Nothing wrong with VIP Modulars, just in new condition, trying to sell them.
They are either as spare set, or for sale. I get tired of rims quickly, so I always have extra set in my garage/ My next dream wheels are Autoconture.

I painted the rear and front bumpers when I did the bodykit, since I need to fill up the front license plate holes, as well as couple scratches on the rear bumper. I guess they have newer paint so they look more metallic???

I don't have PCS system, so I just swapped the OEM grill with Chrome one ( thanks, Bonafyd)

Regarding the spoiler, I think I should just stick with wingless look. My friend is looking for JP roof spoiler for me now. Gotta have some JP on my car.

Thank, guys.

I won't tint the window, VIP is no tint or green tint. So I might tint it green, but don;t know yet.

I got the curtain from my friend in Japan, not JP nor Garson. But I can't think of the brand of my head.

My neighbor's 18 years old son owns the Maxima, I didn't know why he painted it that color. But the RX is stock color, bronze color.

I decided not to get the JP spoiler, wingless looks cleaner.

I wish I know how to adjust the setting more, I read a lot of reviews on camera, and think this is the one suit me ( beginner ) the best.
