New to Forum, need advice on where to get stuff...

Hey Guys/Gals,

I'm actually a GTP owner, but my older bro just got a 2000 SE (sweet *** car)... he asked for my help in finding some stuff for his car and I thought I'd turn to you all...

1- apparently there is some kind of chrome (or stainless steel) cover around his gearshifter... i guess his has some scratches and he'd like a new one... is there any other place other than the dealership that sells these?

2- does some maxima's come with chrome/stainless steel pedals? he wants that as well... again, where is a good place to find this?

3- what kind of headlights do you all have (he doesn't have the HID)... and what kind of foglights are in maxima's (H3???)???

4- finally, we have a little friendly competition in our family about who has the fastest car (we all have families and live on budgets so we all have family sedans)... any cheap, easy mods he can do to make the car faster (currently i own the fastest car in the family... i've had my gtp for awhile and have had the chance to mod it a little)...

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Jeff

A few links to help him get started
Custom Maxima
Cattman
Eatrice
Avalon Racing
Stealin

For OEM stuff you can try DaveB, he gets the best prices. I don't have his # anymore, anyone else care to help?

yeah, sorry, I guess I could have checked out the site more (lots of good info here by the way)... you just get used to manuvering around your own cars site and when you come to a new one it's like you feel a little lost

Thanks for the help!

1st - Y-pipe replacement from Cattman or Stillen
2nd - Intake replacement. HAI from BerkTuning or Frankencar or Stillen or JWT, go bigger with CAI from Injen or Place Racing, or go biggest with the Supercharger from Stillen
3rd - UDP and Flywheel replacement
4th - Hi-Flow Cat and Catback exhaust

5th - Don't count on holding the title of fastest car in the family too much longer if you tell him about the supercharger.

Tell your brother good luck!
