This is for anyone who lost a love one, a max, they have cared for and lovingly customized until some idiot ruined everything.

Luckily, the taillights survived... but here are some of the custom parts i was workin on at the time...

Custom Tail-lights,(no pics of when the were finished but i molded all the seams and painted them where the tape and primer is)

The smoked ones i Painted and went with instead,

Mid reflector piece, molded and painted,

I like the effect from the reflector showing through the MAXIMA logo
Image

Custom grill, all posts removed, chrome stripped and then painted, updated the look.

Anyway on to the heartbreaking totaled pictures

Also i did custom paint and fiberglass molding on the interior, jet black and three coats of clear, oh yea, kept my reverse glow race guages.

Will post pics of the dash later

The frame was bent, the custom carbon mirror ripped off and the custom mounting bracket i made ruined, door wouldnt open and it was totaled, wouldnt even drive straight, for the record, this wasnt my fault as i was struck by an EMT running a red light.

I miss my sunroof and stereo but i got a new max now and (most) of the custom parts were saved, i will post pictures in a bit, gotta go to the attourneys...

Normally I'm not a fan of painted center sections on third-gens, but with the Maxima text left clear, it looks pretty cool.

Sad to hear another J30's off the road.
