My pathfinder.

[NickD85]

yeah man, very clean paint for that milleage... one of the things I never liked about the pathfinders was the running boards- I like the way the Q has them shaped and faired to the body: like more of a continuation of the rest of the car...That's just me. Looks good though

and you mentioned going with a mirror tint? I'm not sure that you can do that under the factory tint... I'd just try to match the front windows to the factory back. I like that look a lot more than the mirror tints- but to each his own. Oh and sweet color

[WINNIPEGS_MOST_WANTED]

Ahh, to have a pathy that never saw a Canadian winter.

My front bumper looks like a 14 yr olds face, it's so pockmarked and chiped from all the rocks that have hit it on the highway.

Likewise. Counted 14 chips on the bumper, 27 on the hood, and another 11 on the roofline.

to nick, couldnt you just get the factory tint removed and go with the mirror then?

and also your ride looks pretty clean for being in new york. i used to live on long island, and most of the family lives their, and there rides deteriorate pretty quick, but thats put also with them not really giving a s***. whole family pretty much drives hondas, nissans, infinitis, acuras.

its factory colored glass - the "tint" is not removeable. the only way to do that would be to change out all the windows.

[NickD85]

yeah miami, that color is literally inside the glass, not on top of it so it cant really be removed. And yeah the northern winters are rough on everything, but I've touched up dozens of scratches, and repainted the rear bumper and fenders entirely- If you do it right those repairs are invisible to even the most critical eye. I definitely wouldn't repaint the whole car because of a few scratches ( I really wanted to have my q painted black for a while, until I asked around...$$$)

[miamiheat3332]

i heard its around 2500 for a factory quality paint job not sure from where, and like the frame, under the, hood, the door jambs etc. are inlcuded

edit: oh and the glass, s*** that sucks, i wonder how the mirrored tint the older pathys have would look on it, if it would look like s***, then id just go with black

Ditto

[miamiheat3332]

true about just painting parts themselfs, like hood , rear bumper and front, but then again when i detail it, and like i look at the car from the side, theres like little dents that go in a little you could see. which pisses me off.

[Pwnin O'Brien]

miamiheat,

With your help I was able to find the instrument cluster mod and I also removed my roof rack fairing successfully, Just one question, do you know of any good super glue? hahaha

Those clips you warned me about snapped right off, the front clip on both sides just broke off with ease.

I have another question, did you remove the clear tape under the fairing? How were you able to remove it? Thanks for your help!

[screwinitupagain]

ive seen pics of f***initupagain's ride clean, once.

It's around here somewhere... maybe I'll wash her in the next couple weeks for so. Ya never know...

[miamiheat3332]

pwnin, no i left the tape on, since it might leave sticky residue etc. i just left it on, you dont even see if up there.

Edit: and superglue, i dont know i use cheap a** dollar store ones, its all the same, or harbor frieight has good deals on superglue lol.

post some pics up of your pathy man.

Umm, IIRC if you were to get a paint job to the same standards as the factory, it'd run you somewhere around $7K - 10K. I'm pretty sure you're looking at around 7 or 8 coats of paint and 5 or 6 coats of clear coat. I dunno, I could be way off, but that's what I remember.

Whoa man, WHOA! Your rig might fall apart if you do that, the mud and grime is what's holding it together!

[Pwnin O'Brien]

I'm waitin to get some warranty replacement headlamps from Jegs. I got some of the Anzo blacked out headlights about a year ago but they had hardcore condensation in the corner blinkers. Once I get the replacement set back, I will surely put up some pics.

[miamiheat3332]

sounds good bro.

[Pwnin O'Brien]

Well I got my headlights in so i took a couple of pics with my phone. I have to return the new headlight set tho because the driver side trim mount is off (note the hanging trim under headlight) . Anyhow, I'll post some new/better pictures up once I get the new set in and once I finish de-badging the rear hatch.

I love the look without the roof rack fairing, much cleaner and more sleek. I have noticed some wind noise above 40mph but it's not much more than the noise caused by the Yakima basket so it doesn't really bother me.

[miamiheat3332]

looks good!

[screwinitupagain]

Now you are getting there, looks good man.

[Qxxx4]

whoa those look good with the grille on silver...very nice

[Adnan]

your truck is my new inspiration, i love it!i kinda wanna do the same headlight treatment as yours expect retrofit a tsx projector in there,right now i gotta put $$ aside for new sound system or beater

ive got some foglight projectors from the Lincoln MKX/MKT, h11 bulb size. I might try to figure out a way to fit them to my fog lights......

[Pwnin O'Brien]

I would love to see pictures if you guys are able to fit the projectors! I have been looking tirelessly for a projector setup for my pathfinder but have had no luck. Lot of sites list the Frontier projector headlamps to be compatible, when they aren't even close.

If anybody has projectors on their pathfinder (up to '04 cuz i know they have projectors for '05+) I would LOVE to see pictures. I really want to get HID's but they would never pass inspection with my current headlamps and I get enough people flashing me for my PIAA bulbs.
