Don't really have much things left except to pay for all these repairs that seem to pop out of nowhere. If all goes well then my future mods for the next year:

New rims and tires (in the next month or two), new paint job, new headlights with "added bonuses", and finally add halo fog lights.

After all of those. I'll finish it off with coilovers and spacers.

Nice car 6.5 , the tail lights are hot . My mods to come are the 07 swap just need a few other bits like hood,rear bumper, spoiler and a grille emblem . Mods to date Pioneer Avic 900BT,pioneer 12in subs, painted interior trim pieces , and aftermarket HID kit which I hate . For the 07 swap I will retrofit HID projectors and OEM ballast .

About a week ago, I installed ATL rotors with Hawk Ceramic pads. What an improvement!!! I also installed new Monroe Front strut mounts and Moog boots. I finally replaced the noisey Kyb mounts and boots that were installed 7 months ago. Finally I can go over bumps and not hear a thing.

Next Mods are new tires

About to put a remote start in my car second week of October. Also getting Led tails this November. Should I go with ruby red or black tails on a precession grey maxi?

Thanks bro

Just regular washing, and I hit it with the claybar twice a year. I got the ATL rotors off of ebay, and hawk pads off of Amazon. I had the posi quiets before. Big difference.

Yeah I was thinking about the viper two way @ best buy today but rather would have it work off my " Nissan keyfob " VS the "aftermarket one". Viper is The best in the business tho!

the only problem with that is the range. theres no reason to get a remote start if you can't start it when your at the check out in a store (for ex) and have have a cool car on hot days and a warm car on cold days. the nissan key fobs range is about when you can make eye contact with it not good enough.

i can't tell you how relaxing it is to be out in the heat all day and your max greets you with the fresh smell of leather and a cool breeze...

So far I've got NWP spacers and ETL, UR crank pulley, Stillen SRI, EBC green stuff front pads, Goodridge SS brake lines, Hayden 403 trans cooler and 4g subframe collars installed. I've got a Cattman y-pipe on order. I have a uninstalled Transgo Reprogramming Kit I need to install sometime this month. I'm saving for coilovers, not sure what brand I'm getting but I have the Kuos Garage QT link when I do lower my car.
