[bobo_80]

[igor@af]

Um... maybe its the one from MotoRex??

[stanghuntr97]

I saw it on an episode of Motor Trend Weekly or somethin'. It was a blue 97-99 and it had louvers on the hood. They said it was going to be on "The fast and the furious."

Isn't it ugly?

[GOD]

i dont think it's ugly it actually looks pretty damn sweet !

[bobo_80]

i luv it...looks like R33....i`m gonna have to do that.!!!

[stanghuntr97]

I wouldn't change my front end that drastically. The Max has a look that's easily distinguishable from the droves of Accords, Camrys, Civics, and Eclipses that are clogging up the passing lanes which I use so frequently to blow by them.

I'm coming to get ya!!!!

Car History

The car was purchased new in 1999 as a daily driver. After undergoing some mild modifications, the car went under the knife for a complete makeover in the Spring of 2000. Dodge Viper GTS blue paint was sprayed over the Stillen-enhanced body. With a custom reverse-mount hood (like a Viper), the car is currently the most modified Maxima known.

For performance modifications, the car went to the leader in Nissan performance, Stillen, who added their supercharger kit and other accessories, including a Formula one braking system from AP Racing. The car produced 221 hp to the wheels. A Veilside carbon fiber wing and Bomex side mirrors from Japan round out the car’s exterior styling.

For the interior, Trimmasters provided a one-off blue carbon fiber dash kit and Stitchcraft provided the upholstery work. A $20,000 In car electronics system comprised of extensive Audio/video component was installed as a Clarion/JBL/Infinity joint venture with the latest offerings from each company finding their way into the car. The car’s three huge JBL W12Gti woofers weigh more than 20 lbs. each with a special support system needed. The car’s five JBL amplifiers produce more than 4000 watts and required two additional batteries to support the electrical load.

Other lighting and trim accessories were provided by Toucan/Ractive/Eurolite and can be found throughout the car. The engine compartment was dressed by Hose Techniques. Motegi Ro_Ja wheels were produced just for this car and custom suspension work was done by Ractive.

A nitrous system and custom roll-cage are in the works now.

This car is used in the making of the movie The Fast and The Furious due out June 22, 2001. The car was used by the character “Vince”, played by Matt Schulze, a bad guy in the movie.

The car was used in a few action and chase sequences. The car’s performance mods were performed by Stillen in preparation for the movie. One sequence in the movie, a fight scene between “Brian” and “Vince” damaged the quarter panel and doors. The studio repaired and restored the car to perfection.

The car is slated to appear in a variety of magazines, none of which could be shot prior to delivery to Universal Pictures for its’ movie appearance. The car’s audio construction has taken the last two months and the car was completed only days before the Hollywood Premier of the movie.

The car is valued at $75,000.

I thought he needed red/clear taillights and some sort of spoiler. Wasn't digging the rims that much either. otherwise tight, loved the inverse hood.
