I've got $700 to put into the 2004 Maxima SE my wife drives. My only money I've put into it so far is the $225 for the Fujita intake and the $225 to tint the windows. I'm leaning towards some performance modifications such as exhaust, cattman y-pipe (due it July), etc.. This is my wife's car, so I can't do anything that'll make it super noisy. I'd like to get the group's suggestions. If you can provide links and/or part #'s I'd appreciate it

Thanks.

 

do something with the headlights or tail lights

 

HID, my favorite upgrade.

Springs/struts/swaybars/endlinks/mmi/ performance slotted rotors and hawk pads. Boom $700.

Already got the stock ones. The only options I don't have are the NAV and TCS/VDC package. I have the driver's preferred package I believe...

 

I recommend changing the suspension aka lowering the ride....Wow, what kinda tint did you get that would cost $225?

Youre missing the options of the elite package btw.

 

Some high end Formula One tint. I paid a little more to get it done at the best place in the area...

 

IRA Fund?

 

All depends, are you more interested in the outside or inside? If outside I say drop it. If inside I say CARPC

 

thas a good investment

 

You think that's bad? I paid $250 and the ****ers screwed them up and are redoing them tomorrow!!! And I was just like the original poster that went to this place to get PERFECTION, but instead got crap

 

Don't worry, you won't leave til they get it perfect!

 

I would definitley go with suspension upgrades such as the ones already listed, any basic hp mods such as exhaust pieces will make it "loud".

 

with my first 700 or so i did Fujita-225 Magnaflor mufflers 350 Tint-200

next 2000 or so are the rest of the mods in my sig

 

****in' right I won't!!!

 

I'm thinking about spending another $100 or so and getting the Kinetix Intake Manifold. I have a group buy deal that requires 5 people....$789.99 + ship + egr kit.

 

That Kinetix Intake Manifold would be cool. I'd also like a NAV.

 

forget about cat back if you don't want to increase noise

 

which magnaflows did you get? I don't see any max related mufflers on the site..

 

my first $700 went to my car payment and the insurance payment.

 

smart move silver s.

hillbe: spend 200$ on the wife, 100$ for u to look good while at it, and you'll get permission to spend 2000$ on the MAX then!!

 

And he'll still have 400 left over from the first 700 so you will have more than 2000 to spend on the max.

 

If I had an extra $700, I'd replace the head unit with an Eclipse CD7100. But, that's me

 

Dude forget the Kinetix IM, wayyyy overpriced. Id go with suspension which u can get progress springs and gr2 struts/shocks. Id probably get the rear sway bar too, I felt this mod the most. U should have enough left after that for an intake. Theres other things u could substitute, many small mods to buy too. Just gotta know what U want.

 

my first $700 got mufflers, 18" rims, drilled/slotted rotors (with ceramic pads), and billet upper and lower grills.

 

.......................did you pay someone to steal all of those things or did you just get an extremely good deal on all of them to total that low amount?

 

ebay my friend, ebay. I order the rims tomorrow because they were out of stock, but everything else is sitting in the spare bedroom waiting to be put on. I want to wait until everythings here to put on so i can do it like sex and get it over with as soon as possible.

 

I would vote for the lowering also as part of the $700. Kill the gap.
