You won't be able to access it from underneath. Only from above or removing the bumper. You almost have to reach in, find the nut, then use a 10mm on an extension. The one near the latch is a tight squeeze.

C'mon, fat boy. Make some lemonade.

The AE skirts & lips look so much better than the 5.5 OEM skirts and those hideous Stillen lips. So get some AE skirts or knock-off's and get happy.

Then swap out your headlights for HID's, and you've got a beautiful ride.

Can't help you with your lack of displacement, though.

LOL if i found an AE kit for cheap i'd do it..but everyone wants a million and one dollars for the kit when they sell it...and i've always been a fan of the 02-03 skirts...just waiting for this guy to get the title to this car so i can strip it like a stripper...skirts and some interior goodies. i might do the HID thing...but that would be FAR down teh road, like one of the last things i'd do, mainly because i'm not completely sold on those headlights on the 00-01 front end.

as far as displacement...lol i'm happy where i'm at

Sometimes design success is self-evident. Same for failure.

I like how both this and the I LOVE MY CAR thread have me talking about getting rid of it. I'd be looking at a E46 M3. All because Rochester hates my front lip.

I'm only just now looking into horns, but I was under the impression (assumption) all aftermarket horns are plug-n-play, designed to bolts to a generic bracket with a flat electrical connector.

Figure the research is pretty easy. And horns go for around $60/pair.

There are plenty of "hella horn" videos on YouTube.

Don't let Rochester let you think your ride isn't looking good Zero2 -- you KNOW I covet your ride!!
Stillen LIp AND ALL!

He's more of a "sleeper" on the outside, Ricer on the INSIDE kinda guy!!
Feel the love John.

Sheesh -- who started THIS derailment?!?!?
No matter -- I'm enjoying it.

I searched around last night. Looks like OEM Nissan 350z horns are louder and direct plug & play, but cost around $80. They make Sport 350z horns that are a higher pitch and run around $60. They stand out by being silver in color with a giant "Z" on them.

One guy installed 6th gen Maxima horns which are louder than ours and it cost him under $20 from the dealer. I found a video clip of them but need to refind it today (was really tired when rummaging through last night).

did more research since I was bored at work. (sorry about sidetracking the thread)

Fiamm Freeway Blasters are direct plug N play and can be found at the local pepboys. One high and one low tone horn for around $30. You can hear them on youtube. They sound ok but loud.

I'm a new fan of the PIAA Sport Horns 500hz and 600hz. I may gamble on a set from Amazon for $37 to see if they truly are plug n play.

Sound samples of 500/600 and 400/500:

PIAA... you know, I rather like the sound of the PIAA, in the lower 400-500hz variety:
