Tell us what you've done with your car
We are part of a forum in whose members are constantly modding their Maximas. Many of us mod but don't get to share our efforts with others who appreciate and notice these changes. This thread is for you to share what you have done recently, on top of old mods, to help give others ideas, to answer questions, and to guide our fellow members in modding their own cars. This is the very reason most of us became members.
This is a new updated thread for sharing our mods. Im sure we have some old ones similar, but theres no need for digging it out of the grave since this is a ongoing topic open for newbies and senior members alike.
please keep your list of mods organized and in one reply i.e. edit your post if you add a mod after posing one previously.
lets keep this one civil, helpful, and newbie friendly.

2005 Maxima 3.5 SE
I got the sport package so it brought the aluminum trim on it with upholstery seats and it came stick shift. I swapped out the upholstery for black leather seats, changed the aluminum to the wood grain, installed a navigation system, put in LED's everywhere.
Exterior, I put 22" Makaveli rims and painted them flat black.. also painted the car flat black, put in a custom grill.

I bought the Pioneer flip down TV at a customizing shop down here in Miami along with the camera. As to the placement, I placed it where the sunglasses compartment is at..had that removed and had the flip down inserted there....as for pics, I will get some tomorrow because I do not know where I have the ones I had.

no, you didn't offend me. your opinion on cars is the absolute least of my worries.
it is quite comical seeing someone make a complete a$$ of themselves by insulting the majority crowd.

2k4MaximaSE, I like the dvd in your car. I was thinking of the same thing or do the monitors in the headrest. How much did yit cost you to buy and install the dvd? So I can figure out whaich one I should do. Also, I kind of wish those pics could be resized so I could better appreciate them.
