Lookin for a good first mod

My friend has a 97 GLE Auto.

He's all stock right now.

He's looking for a best bang for the buck mod.

What would that be, cold air intake?

Let me know, and if u know of a good vendor, hook up that info too.

Thanks.

Knowledge is a good first mod.

Can't start modding your car if you don't know about your car.

Read the threads titled "Important" at the top of the forum to get started.

Also clear rear lights. It will cost $5. All you need is a clear piece if you do the labor. That was actually my first mod.

clee is right. I probably read about 3/4 of all the posts on this forum before even getting my maxima. Now that I'm in a financial situation where I can drop a few $$ on mods, I've got a pretty good idea of what I want. Just read read read.

And tell your friend to get on here!
