Brakes was chirpin' like a ****. Decided to upgrade everything. Powerstop rotors with evolution ceramic brake pads.
After much delay, I finally had the Hella horns installed. These bad boys are loud, OE horn pales in comparison. Not my vid but this is how it sounds like:

Nice upgrade. I got a question for you since I drive an 08 SE too. Tell me, how many miles do you have now? I am just trying to see when I might need to change mine. Though mine still works great! I had my rotors resurfaced once and my brakes went back to like new and it is still working great.

I bought the rotors and pads here:

They were installed this past Monday and still have < 100 miles on them. Brakes feel pretty good so far, no issues to report.
The Hella's were bought here:

This was not a plug and play item. I took it to Best Buy where my friend works and he installed it for me for $30. It was like installing an aftermarket headunit, almost took him 2 hrs. to do it. I still have the option of using the OE horn, all I have to do is swap the relay wire, but why would I want to do that?
I painted the frame to match the color of my car, that red stuck out like a terd in a punch bowl.
Overall I'm very happy especially with the brakes. I will keep you guys posted cuz I think it's still in its break-in process.

Brotha you know I want this but I'm gonna have install issues with this bar and my amps. I don't want to move my amps. Can you use some type of spacers i.e washers so it would not hit my amps? Will the bar lose its effectiveness if I do this? Suggestions please.

Hello fellow Maxima owners.
First off I apologize Gollum67 for butting in on your thread but I cannot make a new post of my own.
My question is this.
I am looking into a 4-door car and I have it narrowed down to a 2007 Maxima SL or a 2007 Acura TL type-S
Even thou both cars weigh in at almost the some lbs I find the Maxima a nicer ride where the TL has the better looking interior and exterior.
More so Im looking for something with performancer, have any of you in here raced TL Type-S and won, or was able to stay toe to toe ?
Just what kinda Mods can be done to the Maxima for all I have found so far is Exaust and Cold air that migh push a 2007 Maxima up by 25-30hp.
