An intake should be next IMO. Oh, and you forgot to get the AE pedals.

im with you too. i'm just starting to do mine up. im kinda liking the quiet beast that the 3.5 is. i might keep engine stock performance wise for a lil bit, and just do cosmetics...

Well if you're into a quiet engine, you could get a K&N drop in filter at least.

Not feeling the color of the shift boot at all, but everything else looks good.

looks good. i am in the same boat as you right now. about to go outside and pull out the rear deck and and put some foam in there as well as change out my fogs to some plasma H3 to finish up my cheap mods. not really feeling the shift boot as well. likin the shifter but black or a dark grey would blend in a little nicer IMO. its all what you like and that you enjoy it though.

It's hard to tell, but it looks like the boot might match up with the color of his seats. So, maybe it looks better in person.

Why do people take Maxima emblem off and keep the Nissan logo? To me, the word Maxima looks so much cooler than the hamburger Nissan logo...

thanks for all the comments guys

as for the shift boot, yea it totally doesn't match the seats, i f'd that one up, was tough ordering online...the only thing it even comes close to matching is the side panel next to the glove box but yea...whoops! i went with gray instead of black cuz my cf dash kit is on order so i figured when i installed that it would be like a black cf/gray/black cf on the shift **** kinda contrast...we'll see how that all works out if it still looks funny after that i'll just eat the cost of a new black boot instead...

as for the emblems, i'd have taken the nissan one off but dont have anything on hand to fill the holes and make it look all nice after taking it off, if it was stuck on there like the others it'd be goooooone!

thanks again everyone
