Looking for some good external options for my Max

Mainly just looking for grill and/or spoiler type additions to my Majestic Blue '04 Maxima SL. I don't like the stock grill and the stock spoiler (more like a bump added to the back) leaves something to be desired. In any case, if anyone has URLs for places to look, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks for any feedback and I'm glad one of my co-workers pointed out this place. Lots of useful information here.

Also, any information on how I should be washing/waxing/taking care of the exterior would be great too. Thanks!

As far as washing and waxing. Give your self all day to do it. Wash the car out of direct sunlight (I own a black 05') Use terry cloth towels to dry it. No Chamois. Then use either Mother's or Meguiar's 3 step system. I skipped the first step since my car is brand new. The polish (step 2) really brings out the color! Then of course step 3, the carnuba! Do this also out of direct sunlight(I do it in my garage)Use a lot of elbow grease (NO WHEEL!) Make sure you have a lot of dry clean towels to take the wax off. Take your time and you will love the results! I am getting my car out of the shop in 2 hours (windows getting tinted) I will have pics!

The grille should take you only about 30 minutes to install, it was no problem for me. The spoiler you could also do yourself, but putting a big drill to your trunk lid is a pretty scary thing, especially when you're just hoping you have it in the right spot.

Here are some pics of my car, http://www.chrisaustin.us/old_site/max.html

and a couple other pics

ebay has those spoilers painted all set to go for 142.00 check it out....for the waxing check the meguiers 3 step wax at your local auto zone or pep boys. I got the simoniz wax from the dealer done and it works real good and stays shinny.

I bought a Sarona body kit of of ebay, which looks good in pictures and i hope in person. Its more aggressive than Stillen, but in my opinion, not cheesy or ricey. Here is the link to my ebay

Let me know if you like that or not.
