I'm wanting to start putting mods into my 98 Maxima SE and I have no automoive experience and absolutely no clue what I am doing. Right now, I'm living in Western Pennsylvania, so I have little access to shops that contibute to customization, so I would have to install everything myself. I have already replaced my stock tails with Altezzas and put in clear corners and I'm wondering what should happen next. PLEASE HELP!

Take the altezzas off, sell them, get a y-pipe. .02

You have to decide if you are going with performance mods, handling mods, eye candy mods, etc. Then narrow your seach to those catagory specific items.

Me, I'm all show and no go. Most here are all about how much more horse power they can get and how many milliseconds they shaved off their 1/4mile time.

Hope that helped.

Y-pipe, Rear Anti-Sway Bar, CAI or Pop Charger, Short Throw Shifter.

Those are fairly cheap and give a noticable benefit in some way or another.

right now, i want to increase handling and maybe put on an aero kit, but if i can get some inexpensive perf mods, id probably spend cash on those first

The Y-pipe is probably the best hp/per$$ mod you can get. Go visit the sites that GaMax97GLE suggested. Maximadriver will give you an idea of what you can do to your car and how to do it, and Custommaxima is where you can buy most of the stuff from.
