I was wondering since there is so many EXPENSIVE MODS out there, I thought maybe I could start off with the smaller Mods. Please list your MODs that didn't cost you that much money, and makes your Maxima look Sexier then ever

I have:
Red interior lights- $10 including the steplights (Pepboys)(CarTrenz)
Blue clearence lights- both for around $16 (CarTrenz)
Washer LED lights- $26 (Got caught by police) but I can always rewire them!
Front License Plate taken off: nothing.. just a little bit of time! WOW MY MAXIMA LOOKS GOOD!

some tips from the newbie,
many of you already probably knows.. maybe 99.9% of you know of what I just said.

Keep em posting!

License plate

I took my license plate off today.
and yes It looks sexy
But one problem is that after I unscrewed everything, there is still black plastic attached to the bumper.
Anyway I can take this off?
If you have NO IDEA what I'm talking about, here it is.
Please forgive me if this is your maxima.

poor mans cia

when you put on the pop charger (air filter) leave the bottom of the factory air box on the car...drill holes in the bottom or side of the air box......run new tubing throug the engine bay to the front of car...forcing in cold air...make a heat shield out of sheet metal paint it whatever color you wish...and put it beside the air filter blocking some of the heat from the engin bay.....good luck with this its very easy and helps out a little ...thank dave b for the info thats were i got my info...later
