Clears can be had many places, Courtesy, ebay, ooglie.

2K2 lamps are running about 600 a side plus extras. You might be able to do better, but not much.

Handling first, speed second, then style last.

I'm just the opposite of the rest of these guys. I'm all show no go. But, saving up for some light weight wheels and a CAI.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

(And if you keep the style changes somewhere between subtle and conservative it won't go out of style as badly when the cutting edge style tastes inevitably change. Or tempt as many roadside chats of an official nature.)

I agree with Kev now...even though i did the exact opposite. I really shouldve done handling first.

And do you mean interior styling or exterior? I prefer interior.

I feel looks are the most important! Then speed I invested in my exterior first and then my interior and now my engine! But it is all about what you like.

Style over substance?, Be different or part of society?, handling over straight out speed? What do you perfer out of your MAX? I live in the plains and I want straight forward performance, since there is very few twisties here. In IMO which is feeble, sleepers rule.

I say a little style first to make the Max aesthetically pleasing (clears). Second, handling (FSTB/RSB). Third, power. Finally, finish up on expensive aesthetics (kit/grills/wheels).

i know I might get slammed for saying this but if I wanted a fast car I'd buy a Civic SI or GSR. Maxima's are nice comfortable boats with a decent about of speed. Go for the looks....

i kinda agree with you on that the reason i want my max fast is because of what it looks like i love beating gsr's they dont exspect that. But your right if i wanted a race car and didnt need the room i would have spent a couple grand more for an s2000.

-Who needs 255hp, when I got 300, for about the same price.
how did u get to 300HP? how much did it all cost appx?

Why hasn't flip mode been a Max of the month? I think that it is the most asthetically pleasing Max yet.
