what do these AE sill plates look like? does anyone have pictures? how much are they? i bought a 2001 GXE and it looks NAKED! i need to make some modifications that will improve the looks (inside and out) without going bankrupt (i'm a student, need money for the tuition) can someone help me with some cheap accessories?

 

They're tight... they're the like the kick plates on the i30. Here's a pic:

oh forgot your other question... other accessories that look nice... chrome interior door handles will dress the car up a bit on the interior. (I believe the GXE comes with the interior color handles). And if I remember correctly, they weren't that expensive. Wood trim helps too. You can get the kit for the center console from Nissan for pretty cheap. The doors are a bit more, though (and aftermarket kits can get pretty pricey as well).

For the exterior, depending on the color you have, the noseguard makes it look a bit sportier. You may want to look at splash guards too. I haven't actually seen them on the Max yet, but they may help your GXE look a little less naked. I think the active spoiler helps a lot too, but it may be a bit pricey.

 

I don't understand what different color interiors has to do w/ these. Are they not polished alum. or chrome? why would the color of your car change that?

 

The chrome is actually bordered by plastic that is the color of your interior. It's kind of hard to see in the picture -- especially since the interior color of the car in the pic is black.

Oh, I get it now thanks for enlightening me. They do look sweet, may have to pick up a set. Do they come with a pair for the rear doors as well?

 

The single most Important modification you can do to your car is a body kit. Stillen or the New AE looks good too. check out my HomePage... I got a pearl 2k GXE... and look at it now

 

Yea South Point Nissan has the best deal -- $60 for all 4 doors, delivered (no tax if you're not in Texas).

And here is a pic with the flaps on. Not the best pic
But I think they makes the car look much better, almost
lower. As opposed to with nothing.

 

Hey Howie,

I remember meeting you at the last Max meet, but the girl in your sig picture doesn't look like your girlfriend that I met?!

Anyway, here are two pictures of the AE sills on my car, for slick: (you can see the border color better in these images)

 

thanks for the pics maximizd, those pics are very clear, i think getting door sills, interior chrome handles and the factory wood kit would go well with my car, thanks again for the pics

 

No problem on the pics. You may want to consider a non OEM dash kit, either in wood, aluminum or carbon fiber.



You can see more pics of the carbon fiber at my site:

Good luck!

 

Hey Howie,

doesn't look like your girlfriend that I met?!

The only reason I added this girl and not my girlfriend
is because I didnt want to take anything away from the car.
If you know what I am saying.

 

I hear ya
