For those of you who have asked, I finally have pictures of my truck available. Somehow we left off the pictures of the true dual exhaust. I'll have him add them the next time he is in town.

2007 Red Brawn Frontier LE CC V6 auto. * JVC KW-XG700 HU * aFe Stage II Cold Air Intake * Cherry Bomb Pro 1 into 2 custom exhaust * Passport 9500i * Truxedo TruXport Tonneau * MOBIL 1 (first oil change, of course)
I had the wheels polished and it cost $250 per wheel. The
casting Nissan uses is not very conducive to polishing so it was more difficult to polish than any wheels I have had polished in the past.
They are a little more difficult to keep polished too, but well worth the effort to me. I wanted to stay with a 17" wheel because of the roads we have around here and I do load the truck up on a regular basis.
Besides, I have never seen anyone else with the factory LE wheels polished before. I have had a lot of nice compli-
ments on the wheels.

Actually the front plate is Scottish as I am in 2 different bagpipe bands and have Scottish roots. If you noticed the
decal on the passenger side of the windshield it is indeed

My wife and I were fortunate enough to be able to travel to Nova Scotia this past summer. Beautiful scenery and some
of the nicest people we have ever been around.
I highly recommend Nova Scotia to anyone wanting a fun
scenic vacation.
Great looking truck! You've done an awesome job! I like those step bars, they look like they provide more protection to the truck than the factory step bars!

I am not sure if they protect the truck any more, but they are certainly a lot stronger than the factory ones I took off of my truck.
Thanks for all of the nice comments.

I believe you can opt for a sealent on those wheels as well after the polish that will help on the up-keep of them. You will still need to use some elbow grease however they will keep a lot longer.
My polisher said I could clearcoat the wheels, but that it usually dulls them a bit.
What kind of sealant are you talking about? I am game for
anything that will work well.
The biggest problem is the type of casting that was used on the wheels. My painter said that this type of casting has
a lot of zinc and that is the problem with getting a lasting
high shine on them. He said that painting this kind of casting often causes a sort of fish eye in the paint where
ever the zinc is present.
