Let the mods begin!

I'm new to the site and just wanted to list the mods I've got in the works as of right now.

I bought my 99 SE auto in November. If not for this site I would have thought I got screwed because the transmission isn't as smooth as I remeber in the older 91 Maxima that I used to have way back in 97.

On to what I'm doing.

Suspension: KYB AGX struts with Progress Springs. Not much said about these springs but their site gives many good testemonials. What the hell. They were only $130 at PMP designs on special right now.

Exterior: Clear corners, and 2002 Maxima 17" rims. These may be real heavy but somewhere on this site, I think Calsonic shows them on his car and they look sharp.(Red/Clear rear brake lights SOON!)

Interior: Brushed Aluminum Dash kit, Levoc Auto stick, and E-Brake handle.

I plan on getting the Front strut and rear sway real soon also! I love a car that handles.

I just got my Tax return in and I am spending the whole thing on the car. I can't wait to start the power modifications! I don't race but I got the Mod bug on a 95 VW Golf and now I can't stop!!! got rid of that for this baby. I am so glad to be back in a Max!

I will post pictures of what the springs did to my car and give my input on how they feel.

I disagree. I have Levoc shift **** (chrome/black) and it looks great.

Thanks for the the welcome!

The levoc may not be perfect but, I think what is in there right now looks like a grey plastic disformed orange stuck on top of a tooth pick. Do you have any other options?

Also is there a place to get a black E-brake handle that would match a chrome and black Auto ***? I don't want to mix and match the style and I'm not a big fan of Carbon fiber.

Looks like you have the Aluminum trim from CustomMaxima. I got mine on ebay. It isn't as bright as that trim. I think the stuff on CustomMaxima doesn't have a protective coat on it but, it does look sharp as hell. I wanted mine to look a little more stock. I could be in for some sadness when it comes in though. I guess we shall see.

As for the scraping, I don't have the stillen kit you have attached to the front. HOPEFULLY LATER!!!!!!

You can get the shifter and e-brake handle from custommaxima.com He has carbonfiber or wood matching handles.

If you plan on adding any performance stuff to your car start with an intake and then a Y pipe. Just a tip.
