First, congrats on the purchase. Auto or MT?

It could be a leak in the trunk seal, or a leak around a tail light. Try a salvage yard for a spare.

Congrats on sweet new car, black is awesome... I had a 92 stanza, and I had to replace the tail light (bluesbrekr good idea), and I was constantly getting water in the trunk. Turns out I broke a seal taking the original tail light out. A little duct tape on the top of the new one fixed it, although you might want to be a little more classy (it is a maxima) and get some type of clear silicone (if thats the problem). Lets see some pics!

get ur fogs rewired 2morrow or something, it dosent take more than 5 min, it even took me less than that....
its pretty easy, and i love them...
for CAI, go with Berk Intake
struts/springs ---- Maxspeed with Tokico Illuminas or (tein-s-tech springs if you want more agressive look)
angel eyes : if you have ***** to bake your headlights, will be scary to do first one, but 2nd headlight is so much easier.
and for a sunroof $250, not worth it...
good luck man

Yea i keep wondering about that too, im like uhhhh you take the headlight out...and put it in the OVEN at 350 degrees for 20 mins, turn and baste, wait for the pop-up timer... no j/k but i guess its to get them apart so you can paint the inside, there are pics on here of people who did it, they actually look pretty good.
