Your first Maxima, first mod. (Although for alot of us it will probably be a "mod" instead of an actual mod )

IIRC mine was Nokya pedal covers


v.8000

If you consider an amp and subs a mod, that was the first thing I did... I had the factory head unit ripped out before I'd even signed the loan paperwork on the GXE...

The first REAL mod I did on it was sus Tech sway bar set.

Entire stereo system all at once. If you don't consider that a mod the my first and only mod would be clear corners. I'm upgrading to a 5 speed in a few day's. That in itself is a mod to be happy for. Hello 1990 Maxima SE (feels better than GXE)

full warpspeed exhuast, since i bought it with a broken b-pipe



the entire loudness of the exhuast was coming straight out of the resonator. sounded kinda sweet, but you could hear it 3 blocks away if you stepped on it.....now its only 2 1/2 blocks away with my new exhaust

I think that was my 1st mod too (got it from a SWA group buy when I 1st joined the org). I had some "Nismo" seat belt pads put on either before or after the pedals (forget exactly).

Ricer foglights, because my driver's side factory lamp was busted. They were only supposed to be temporary. Never got around to getting a new OEM one though. Oh well.

Right now my max is stock, but I need to put on some stock parts first, like the oem front break pads and rotors. These ****ty $50 ones are dusting like crazy.

But for my first mod Its going to be a cup holder. Then minuets later Im going to mod the stock air box. After that Im getting a a good y pipe, good cai, rear sway, 1in lowering springs and front sway bar. Im doing the ypipe, CAI, and rear sway all at once. Im going to mod in stages, as that way it will be a bigger diffrence. Its like accerating from 35-40-45-50 or going from 35-50 faster. If you know what I mean.(Bah it needs to warm up!!)
