New 2003 SE
Well, after driving my black 1989 SE 5spd since new, I finally decided to replace it. Through the years, I did modify my 89 SE. Mods include: Red painted calipers with white "NISSAN" lettering, Eibach sport springs, Tokico sport struts/shocks, Borbet 17" wheels with Yokohama 215/45zr17 AVS Intermediates, Greddy Exhaust, and the Stillen cold air package.
I just got my 2003 Sheer Silver SE with the Titanium pkg. I did opt for the automatic trans this time as I am a Realtor and shifting gets to be a nuisance. However, I plan on modifying the car to give a more personal touch. I do like the polished wheels that come with the Titanium pkg, so I will keep them for now. I would like to do exhaust, strut braces, cold air, springs, and whatever else I feel it needs. I have found a couple places that sell clear corner lenses. I would like to get these just because I think they would look great with the Sheer Silver. I guess the first thing I would like to ask is this...has anyone installed these lenses and will they get water inside them (annoying). They are my first thing to do, as I hate the orange lenses on the car now. And also, what did you use to make the rear bulbs light up red? As I am new to this board, I will take any suggestions on where to buy parts for my Max.
Thanks in advance

A search will turn up a lot of infor on corners. But, smear some clear silicone around the edge where the lens and the backing meet.
I should be getting my corners in a couple days...that's what I will do. I also ordered some red Polarg bulbs for the rear. From what
I've heard, they will look a bit pink, but not too bad.
Congrats on the 03!!

Clear corners and lights to go with them
I got my clear corner lenses from Courtesy Nissan:

I picked up some red blubs for the back corners, but they were always too pink, so I got some red LED blubs from Midnight Moose. These look a proper deep red.
