Ideas on how to make the car UNIQUE

I have a 2002 Blue 6 speed as you can see. I have FSTB, and the RSB will go on soon. The Stillen makes the car a little unique sound wise. Now what can I do to make it stand out? I do NOT plan to get new rims. New tires to replace the Potenzas might be possible but that doesn't change the looks. I don't really want to spend the $$ on body kit. What can I do for reasonable price? I know many of you have clear corners, side markers. I have tinted rear windows. Would it be stupid to have the 'shadow' or 'mirror' tints for the front side windows? Small Stillen or Nismo stickers would be ok by the front wheel well I guess?

Stickers, lots and lots of stickers!

J/K, I would save up for rims. They are the best appearance mod to make your car stand out IMO.

Get a wing on top of your stock wing and stickers, lots of stickers of mods you dont have..... Wait a minute... that'll make you look like a ricer..!. Never mind J/k

Go with what you like, not what everyone else thinks is cool. But in my opinion, i think you should go with some nice wheels.

id say to make your maxima look the most unique is with a new paintjob. when im done with all my mods, thats what im going to do. a paint color nissan doesnt offer. why later, not now? cuz the longer i wait the less paint chips i will have to endure. kaka.

automatic whiplash, baby.

keep your maxima clean. a nicely detailed car will standout, but rims would help.

Perhaps. But how wide are those rims, chinaonnitrous1? (PS: I'll make this easy for you. The answer is right here, but you'll have to do a little digging: http://www.nissan-techinfo.com/.)

Remember folks. If you're going to upgrade to a different set of 17" rims, make sure they're at least 7.5" wide!

Appearence

Get just the front lip from stillen, get clear markers, tint the windows, tint the tail lights, make sure the mud guards are painted, and get a loud system - that will make you stand out make people turn around.

Just keep it simple, If you want to stand out but not look stupid then I suggest you follow in the foot steps of y2kevse(sweet car). If you go to far out then you will be either laughed at or admired. your choice. but if you keep it smooth and clean the it is hard for people not to like it.

If you really cared what people thought then you wouldn't of bought a Max, you would have bought a Civic or Integra, 'cuz they are cool right

Anyway try a huge "Type-R" sticker on the back, that always works

Shave the gas filler, and put the gas filler behind the flip-out taillamps.
