Brandan Nankoo: 2009 Nissan Maxima SV

Brandan Nankoo had always appreciated the sporty performance and looks of the Maxima, especially the seventh generation models. After noticing that very few of these models had been customized, he was struck with the motivation to make one his own. With the help of some air suspension and some tasteful mods, Nankoo has taken his Maxima to the next level.
