I'm also starting a progress on my 2010 Max I'll post up some pics later on.. The only thing I was hit by a truck this wednesday at work. He was leaving my Shop and rear ended me and dented my bumper, grill, and scratched the hood.

He's company paid for the damage, so I am happy.

The car will go to the shop next week. I will start off with Blacking out the tail's, mirror lights, head's. Then I am planning on getting a STILLEN Intake, STILLEN Front Lip, Tints and Nismo License Plate Frame's.

Nice progress! It will look great when you get the rest of the kit on there.

Gotta lose the stickers though.

Nice progress so far . Once you get the sides, rear, & some rims you'll be pretty much set.

You have all the pieces that I'm slowly getting. Type-s tail light, trunk lip spoiler, & side mirrors.

Vtec, even though you've got everything Type S, your car was born a Base TL. It's just not cool to back otherwise, irregardless of the mods.

Well, that was my decision... I got really good hook ups on all of the parts and getting a Type-S is really not a big deal to be honest, it's a .3 liter difference with 18 more horsepower lol. My friend had a stock 06 TL 6 MT and he takes on the Type-S all day long. Besides I'm not a fan of the Red interior lights I'm more into Blue.

To make my 04 Auto faster than Type-S all I got to do is get a cat-back, intake and a j-pipe.

Thx, but he takes me by like 6 cars if not more that Maxima is a beast! He is on maxima.org forums I believe. He races G37's and he takes them!

His mods are Full Stillen/Custom Intake ( Battery rewired to the trunk), Racingline Y-Pipe, Stillen Full Cat Back Exhaust there are couple of more things in there I just don't remember.
