What cheap mod can I do?

I am at that point where I'm starting to get bored with the max. I need a new cheap mod to make me feel better. I badly want rims but got no money. Thats why I'm looking for a $50 or cheaper mod.

Thanks,
MAXecutive

I was gonna recommend painting your wheels...beat me to it. But definitely the stuff with the lighting if you haven't done that.

yeah, look for Ludacris' write up on how to paint your wheels. His look really good, and they were easy, according to him.
If you want, do the AE mod to headlights too. That is easy.
Then, you can do something to your tail lights too.

I rather keep the rims stock, and I got all the other lights rewired and I would do the AE, but I just ordered CF eyebrows. I'm waiting for that to ship, it'll match with the CF gen 2 tails.

Thanks,

I've seen them on eBay a couple of times. Supposedly, these have an anti-theft mechanism.
Here's one auction: VALVE CAPS

you can do the shock sensor mod for your car for about $4 bucks (shipped). pm me if you want the guy i got it from.

you can also do the beep mod where your car beeps when you press the lock button on the remote. that should be around $5 bucks.

or you can do the 9004-9007 headlight mod. get some bulbs under $50 and your set.

If you look over the link carefully, you'll notice that the image in the coding is actually http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...59_25_full.jpg

So type in [IMG*]http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/7/web/415000-415999/415659_25.jpg[*/IMG] in your profile
(Get rid of the "*")

In the end, it should come up like this right?

Buy a 6 pack of beer, drink them, and your car may look better after the beers.

It was a show at my school on the football field. Lehman High School Car and Motorcyle Show 2004. I had so much attention, there was the usual bronx civics and accords, but I was offered to join 2 car clubs. Team Revolutionz, formely know as Bronx Most Wanted and some other one I forgot the name. They had me parked near muscle cars on the outside field lines because I wasn't part of a team, so then when Team Revolutionz came, my brother knew them, so they said I can come and park up with them. And I couldn't turn my head around without seeing someone coming up to me to ask me something about the car. I met a lot of 4th gen. maxima owners too. I think one guy was from the org too. Oh and just to let u know, 1 trophy was mine and the other was for my brother's Legend. LEGzecutive.

on ebay you could get Nismo floor mats and a universal Nismo grounding kit. That will go over a bit if you want both. That's what I would get.

I got CF gen 2 altezza already. but thats a hot mod, If i didnt have them I would do that. My brother might want to do that with his legend. Is there a write up for that. He got a 93 legend. This week were puting it in the shop after we finish our tune up. He bought a lip kit, spoiler, and chrome 18" veloche vendettas. Were going to do his dash over with blue LEDs. I might do that to mine after we do his. What kind of leds do you use. size? voltage? we want to order the parts this week for it so we can work on it while the car is gettin its make over in the shop.

Thanks,
MAXecutive
