Need advice on what to put in my ride

Ok my ride is practically stock, only mods are a cold air intake, and a magnum flow exhaust, I'm getting some diamond cut bumper lights, and some modified altezzas. But I'm debating on what body kit I should get, I ride a 95 SE, pearl white. I'm not sure, which one do you think would look tight? Skyline kit, or the Sonora Kit?? I don't have rims I got some 15's with average sized tires. I'm going to drop it little. What kinda of tint should I get, I was thinking titanium, black looks to normal, but what I hate about my ride is that my emblems are gold, is there a way I can get them sliver, both the NISSAN emblem and the MAXIMA. Now for the engine, I want to add some *****! but I don't want to get the fast simple way of just adding NOS, what things can I add to get a big HP gain. Y pipes are on the list. Any ideas would be sweet thinks alot.

ok for power, go for the ypipe, however it'll probably make your current aftermarket muffler sound bad.

next on the list, before getting a body kit or rims, i'd say lowering the car would be a good idea. im sure you know the springs and shocks available to us (sprint, progress, eibach, h&r, b&g) and (kyb gr2/agx, tokico hp/illuminas, koni yellow).

for the body kit, i like the sarona a lot, however it is made out of fiberglass meaning its not as durable. the skyline kit can be made in poly urethane and will take some abuse before cracking. i dont really like the skyline front, maybe switch that with the M-bumper and get the skyline sides and rear?

For power you should get a full cat-back exhaust, i am going for apexi cause it sounds nice but not too loud and its only $400. You can get a race pipe too but you have to put the original CAT back for inspections. You can get a lightened underdrive pulley to free up some more horsepower. A lightened flywheel can free up some more horsepower. Also the MEVI and JWT chip combo is a very nice set-up. You can get the JWT w/o the MEVI but don't do the opposite unless you don't mind having as much low and mid range power as you did before. You also wouldn't be full utilizing the MEVI with the JWT extended red-line.

For your suspension the tokico illumina's and a pair eibch springs would be nice. Also a rear sway bar and FSTB.

For looks the stillen kit is nice, and a nice set of lightweight 18's. Just shave your trunk to get rid of the gold emblems with fishing line. Then if you don't want a shaved look then buy some emblems and put those on over the sticky part of where the old ones were. just don't clean the trunk after you shave off the emblems.

Thats about it happy moddin

for bodykit, i recommend that you do the 97+ conversion and install stillen 97-99 on it. this would make you very happy.
for performance, i guess it all comes down to how much u want to pay. you can go turbo or get a sc or just a few basic mods such as y pipe, intake or stuff like that.

yeah i think that stillen has the best kit that ive seen. for performance of course the y-pipe. but if you got the cash then id say boosting. for tints i have titanium tints and they looks bad *** in the day its like a mirror but at night you can see straight through em.

as for as your emblems, if their factory gold your best out is to take them off completly or just get the chrome ones, if they were dipped solvent like MEK would probably take off the gold

Hey, i want to take off my gold maxima emblems and put silver ones on. Where would i go to find these? Also, can you get a silver trunk lock and the gold on the antenna replaced with silver?

If any of you know where to find these things could you e-mail me at
