AE items

Hey I was looking into getting some AE items.
To all of you that have installed them, i'd like to know how it went.

Shift ****.-how do you get the old one off? does it just unscrew? I can't seem to budge it?

Pedals.- i heard that the gas is easy to put on, but the brake and clutch you have to struggle to get them to go on right.

Door sills. - they should just come off easily right? Pry them off with a screwdriver?

headlights- does anyone know some place online that sells them?

Thanks guys.

What? You don't want the Keys or the Floormats?

That's what made the sale for me... The keys and the floormats...

The only thing i can help u out with is the easiest one, the door sills. Very easy just a flat head screw driver. The look very good. Next item will be peadals. I want lights too but sort of expensive just to change to a black suround in the light. I will probably still get them though.

FLOOOOORMAAAATS???!!! Omigosh!!! What do they look like?? Who sells em? I know about the key. Courtesy sells 'em. Kinda expensive at over $70 though, and you have to get it cut and programed at the dealer. (more money). I'd like to get the AE body kit, but my car has a bra on it and i need it because the 2k paint sucks! Will it look bad with just the sides and the rear body pieces? My guess is yes.

Yeah, I'm aware of that site. They have the cheapest price for sills i've seen so far. But.. how are the AE floor mats different from the regular ones??

Maxima is written so you can read it as you get in the door. Beneath it is "20th Anniversary".

Pretty nice, but unless I actually have the 20th Anniversary Edition, I'd hate to be "false advertising". That's more of a ricer thing. VTEC!!!! NOS!!!!!! TURBO!!!!!

No way! That "20th Anniversary" logo should be worth at least twice as much hp as the VTEC/NOS/TURBO ads combined!

Shift ****: this is quite a pain to take it off...some say all u need is a cloth towel and a pipe wrench, but i ended up sawing mine off..

pedals: should be a breeze..

Door sills: comes off really really easy! u don't even need a screw driver..just pull the ends with your fingers and it'll pop right out.

headlights: i bought a set of AE lights from Tustin Nissan. they were $204 for both lights. installation is really easy, but the lights were on back-order and i had to wait almost 3 months to receive the right side headlight.

Ok, nevermind then. I'm not getting an AE **** after what you guys have said about it.
