there isn't any downside to putting on a fstb. you can find rsb's on ebay but not fsb. i don't believe they even make one for our cars. you can also find the lights you're talking about on ebay or go to your nearest auto parts store and tell them what you want and they should be able to help you. i have had cool blues in my old pickup before. they were a white color not real blue at all. but they lit up the road very well. as far as tint if you just want tint but don't want to lose visability you can get 20% or 35%. i love my tint but it's very dark. i have 5% on the sides and back glass and 35% on the winshield. you can check out my cardomain page to see the car.

ok, ill take the first crack

1- ebay fsb's are the same as all the others, your just paying more money for the names, my boy 2k3max2nv has a custommaxima fsb if you waa pm him and get a good price

2- led lights can be found anywhere, two sites you can go to is www.superbrightLEDS.com or the site that i use for alot of my bulbs is www.autolumination.com, i just like this site bc its a little easyer to navigate through.

3-i have the stock headlight bulbs and led directionals, check out my cardomain site. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/834850

4- 35% tint, you just have to get used to driveing with any % tint.

good luck newbie, go to my site and get some ideas and ask me any questions you have, were here for you lil one.

E-bay FSTB has been working for me for about 1.5 years. Progress makes a great RSB; check the parts/vendor list. Again check the parts/vendor list. Still have stock headlights and fogs. Did 35% tint on all doors and 20% on the rear window. Good luck and welcome.

Any tint on the front, you are asking for trouble in NJ.

same boat as him, but ive had my fstb for over 2 years and is still a charm, u can also find from time to time on ebay the rstb, which is similar to the fstb but mounts between the rear struts in the trunk.as far as progress goes for the rsb.... beautiful night and day diff.

Nismo knock-offs...how original

anyhow, if you want some great-fitting non-slip pedals, check these out. Not sure how many orger's have them, but I know that several of us who autocross our maximas use them....they are made specifically to fit the curvature of the factory pedals, by the way...

since you have the 3.0, you can upgrade your fsb with a 2k2 2k3 since blackbirdvq has done it and says its heavier and thicker.

the only thing you do is unbolt the strut tower bolts (3 on each tower) put the brackets on , and make sure you T O R Q U E them down , 38 foot lbs should be perfect! if you over tighten them, you could break the bolt, and have 2 buy a new strut.
