HID Installation on 2016 Nissan Maxima

Member Credit: chriscummings83

I didn’t see an install guide for the 2016 Maxima. It’s pretty simple but there are a few tricks.

1. Open the hood and on the right and left fender there is a fabric gasket that has 4 push tabs. Remove them and move the mesh out of the way. Now when you go through the wheel area you can see where to route your wires.

2. Move the wheel inward depending on which side your installing. Remove the 3 plastic clips and there will be a little tab on the plastic near the bumper you can insert a flat head and pull back the plastic to gain access.

3. Acknowledge the bulb position and the way you twisted to remove it. Then have the HID ready to do the same in reverse. Make sure it goes in and doesn’t wiggle.

4. Get up and stand over the side you are installing. Put the ballast and the igniter on the side channel and run the wires down to the wheel from the top.

5. Sit back down and plug it all in. Easy Red wire to red from the factory harness.

6. I zip tied the ballast or you can double side tape.

7. Reinstall the mesh fabric gasket and boom. You cannot see it and beautiful.

You can see where I zip tied and the wires running down into the wheel area

2016 Custom Maxima Grill Project

Member Credit: R1talin

Decided to make a new from grill, the emblem is just way too big (IMHO) and detracts from the lines on the front end of this car. Bought a new grill to start working on, got a nice deal on it from a black friday dealership sale.

Dremeled and filed everything out

Fiber-glassed and compounded the base from where the emblem was removed

Primed the frame

I ordered the grill material from customcargrills.com i wanted something thick and as close to the factory look as possible

This next part was a lot of trial and error, fiberglass didn’t want to stick to the abs plastic, tried tiger hair stranded fiber and results were not good…third times a charm….ended up testing some JB quik and this stuff was money! really bonded well to the plastic. lot of time spent cutting/forming and sanding to get the grill to where i was happy with it

Final sanding before paint

Primed

Painted gloss black

Out with the old and in with the new:

Bumper back in place

Wrapped chrome trim in carbon fiber to match the rest of the car

Finished product….. I absolutely love it!

Tyrique Abraham’s Finessed 2016 8GM

Owner: Tyrique Abraham

Year: 2016
Model: Maxima
Color:  Coulis Red (NAW)

My 2016 Maxima was purchased January 17th 2016. Brand spanking new. I quickly started doing small mods i.e. Tints, led conversion and caliper paint. As time went by I realized what a beast the Maxima could potentially be.

 I started digging deep into my creativity and pockets to create my dream built. I started reaching out to local companies in hopes of getting sponsored. I then got sponsored by impulse automotive in Lanham, Maryland. Soon after that I was sponsored by Vossen wheels. I got my set of Vossen wheels for a price I cannot disclose  After my wheels ,I saved up my money to buy the airlift 3P management system. Then got installed by Luigimotorsport in Laurel, MD. This was when I started getting a lot of publicity from the larger companies. I reached out to Stillen and they agreed to sponsor me as well.

Now is where the fun started happening. I made appearances at the ocean city car show, import expo at the dc convention center and clean culture x import expo at FedEx field. I quickly started gaining attention and winning prizes at the shows I attend.

Now my little beast has been on Nissan’s page, as well as Stillen and Vossen’s page. 2 major companies in the car world. This car is my daily driver but doubles as my car show beast. I call it my baby GTR. It has the GTR steering wheel and the GTR exhaust tips. As close to a GTR as I’m ever going to get. 

Mod list: Full interior LED package, Apple iPad vent mounts, front fog light and headlight HID conversion, Engine lights, Mirimoto rgb demon eyes , starry night angel eyes, Stillen front splitter and rear diffuser, custom carbon fiber front splitter and carbon fiber rods, custom side splitters, Bc coil overs and UAS sport bags. Airlift 3p management system, sundown audio 15″ zb4 subwoofer and soundstream 2500 watt amp, stillen intake, CXJ performance intake manifold spacer, full custom 2.75inch piping exhaust with gtr 5′ Titan tips. Painted brake calipers, Vossen vfs-6 wheels wrapped in Nitto invo tires.
