The Beast is complete

[JonathanPrem]

Couple of shots of my baby. It's almost complete.











My next and maybe my last mod- Lowering Kit or Air Ride

[longhornsqx4]

Looks pretty good, you really took when people said to do black accents to heart eh, those wheels still look odd on there

Grab a touchup brush and hit those black paint chips with some beige so they dont stand out like they do. Possibly fix the exhaust gap on the left side, hangs way lower

Air ride on a pathfinder

[Pwnin O'Brien]

Did you clear coat the grille after painting it? The paint looks a bit dull, it could be the pics tho.

Also, how did you tint the tails? They look a bit dull as well, if you used Nite Shades then you def. need to spray them with some clear coat also. A few thick coats will make those things shine really nicely. Then again, that could be the lighting and whatnot also.

You should also tint the rear bumper reflectors, they look out of place being bright red.

Other than that, it looks like it's starting to come together!

[volp]

Looks sick, although I'm not a fan of the rims. Exhaust looks awesome! How's the sound?

[miamiheat3332]

the blacked out look doesnt go well with a gold pathy, not diggin the grill, the tinted tails and especially the rims , but each to his own, and yeah fix that exhaust gap on the left side and the exhaust is the best thing on your pathy, thats definitely what im doing on mine, also touch up the black spots on the bumpers, and eh if you like it i guess its all that matters.

[Qxxx4]

i like it, its really in your face with the contrast, its definately an eye catcher and in a good way id say. The wheels looked out of place before, now they look great with the black accents, nice work!

as for the air ride....sure most people think its dumb on a pathy, but its already all setup for street so why not air ride it. Hed be the first one on here i know to do it!

just dont throw a body kit on it, THATS something that doesnt belong on an SUV, unless its OEM like the sport x5, because those kits actually go well on the vehicle!

[naladude911]

ehh, im not feeling the exhaust or rims.

[Buzzman]

Obviously lots of work went into it. Good job.I like the idea of a dual exhaust, but I'd prefer single pipes on each side as opposed to the doubles.Is it a true double exhaust by the way, or did you just split the pipes?Clear corners look good too.Unfortunately, I can't say I dig the rims too much though. Sorry.

[Mikey178]

Looks aggressive in some ways to me.

I'd second the paint chips, get them touched up. Also if you clearcoat if you haven't the grill and taillights as previously mentioned.

You truck looks like it rides kinda high. In the last picture, there is a lot of clearance, did you have it raised or something?

But overall if you like it thats really all that matters. I'm pretty sure you'll get heads turning. As previously asked, whats the sound from the exhaust sound like?

[KyooX4]

I'm liking everything except the rims and the quadruple exhaust. I prefer two pipes together on one side or one pipe on each side. My opinion, though.

Did you paint the side mirrors black? If so, how? That seems like something I might want to do, as I'm looking to add more black details to my silver Q. That and they have scratches and scuffs all over them.

[miamiheat3332]

Kyoo the pathfinder SE came with the black trim like the door handles, side mirrors, and the trunk handle, the LE came with body-coloured side mirrors, and i think all of the qx4's came with the door handles, trunk handle and side mirrors body colour, i personally want to do all mine body colour, it looks alot cleaner and sleek.

SE:



LE:

as you can see body coloured side mirrors



QX:

[JonathanPrem]

Where do i get the Colour or colour number.

[miamiheat3332]

go to the nissan dealer, give him your VIN number, and he will give you the correct touch-up paint.

[exvin]

I like it..black accents adds to the appeal!!!!

[Qxxx4]

yeah the body coloured hanles/mirrors are awesome, i notice the non painted ones fade easily. My mirrors are pretty chipped up, I need to get a whole front end paint job soon, theres only so much touch up paint can do

id throw your sidesteps back on man, now with all that clearance itll look pretty sweet with them on, especially painted a glossy black!

[REZN]

i love it... i dont see how people can not like the black against goldloli think the contrast is niceofcourse everyone has their own opinionsmines is that it looks greati agree with the others.. clear coat needed.rims arent my fave but it still looks good.how much did the dual pipes cost you?and what paint did you use for the grilleim thinking of painting the grill.. but just the middle.. im leaving the chrome outline.

[REZN]

did you buy the rims powder coated?

[JonathanPrem]

Rezn Yes it was Powder coated and I want to paint the middle factory colour but could not locate the paint colour.

For those wondering about the Exhaust. I just replace with two in and two out. But made mistake. Any one that wants to do it,Take of the tire instead of going around it. And the Tone is really deep.

[Lars]

Not my cup of tea... but in general it looks good, clean and well executed. I like where it sits now and wouldn't lower it, but thats just me.

Nice job!

[slickroger]

your truck has definetly come along way from when you had first put the rims on. I like what you have done so far i personally agree with just about everything you have done to make eveything match. I think you should leave the steprails off.

[JonathanPrem]

Slick do you want the blacked out clear corners still and if yes throw me a offer.

[Pwnin O'Brien]

Yeah, I agree with slickroger, instead of repainting the side steps I would just leave them off too. I have mine off and I personally think the truck looks much better and much cleaner.

[slickroger]

im honestly like $20 bucks interested or help you do something interested considering my corners are blacked out already i would just like to know how they look with out the amber. how did you end up with two sets of darked out clear corners anyway?

[Pwnin O'Brien]

Also, in the first and second picture I can see that your driver side headlamp is installed improperly. The small piece of trim directly under the headlamp sits lower than it should. I had this same exact problem with my aftermarket lamps and I can tell you (through trial and error) how to fix that.

As you know there are four bolts which hold the headlamp assembly to the vehicle, one on top, two on the side, and one on the bottom. Well the bottom bolt should be held on by a small metal bracket which is bolted to the headlamp assembly. That bracket is adjustable. By moving that bracket in and out, you will tilt the headlamp assembly up and down. Currently your headlamp is tilted too far down, thus the trim which hangs low. You need to push the metal bracket out (towards the engine) and this will lift the headlamp up enough for the trim piece to sit right.

You will want to re-adjust both lamps so that they are even and both trim pieces are level.

Of course, I could be completely wrong and the trim may just be seated wrong against the grille.

[Fisherdude]

I have always thought about doin some duels or just a magnaflow, but i really don't want my off-road SUV so sound like a rice burner. And i have a tow package so i would have to run the pipes wide around that and hope i don't pinch the tips closed when i go rock crawling. might just keep her stock and save $150

[Ubel Feuer]

It looks good, I would recommend against lowering. Frankly I never like when SUV's get lowered, it's like some sort of betrayal of purpose.

Is that true dual exhaust or does it just branch off the muffler?

[JonathanPrem]

Exhaust in two in two out and slick i can do it for 2 and btw do you have any tint film for headlights.

[WINNIPEGS_MOST_WANTED]

At first I wasn't a fan of the color scheme but its growing on me.

Definately go up not down.

[fueler]

i like it. i would paint the handles and mirrors to match thebody though.

[bmlawless]

Two thumbs up from me. I agree that yours looks raised. Could it just be the lack of running boards? I wonder what it would look like if all of the lettering were painted black......?

As for the bumpers, I think Rhino-lined black would look shweet.
