New and 1st Time Nissan Owner

Hello ladies and gents,
I just recently bought my 2018 Maxima SL, 31k, black on black, w/ 5% tint.

Mods under consideration:
Interior:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F372566535816

Exterior:
LED bulb replacements:
-head lights and fogs
-brake and turn signals

Has anyone considered doing or have done this;
Turning the part of the tail light that looks like a fluorescent boomerang in to the turn signal and making the existing turn signal in to a brake light?

Welcome aboard! Interesting ideas on the rear tailights but it might be a great adventure to try it though I'm afraid the fluorescent boomerang might fail with the changes in voltages to get the flashing

if it were florescent yes the constant voltage change might upset it. I believe it to be LED though. It would be cool if someone could pull it off. To have it lit up like it is normally but then blink when needed.

Noob update

Ok I tinted the windows to 5% and in this Florida sun it’s needed!

Im looking to get some rims and was looking at the some 350z rims that were nice. Anyone know if the two cars share the same lug pattern?

Also I’m looking for some ideas on the LED replacement bulbs for the headlights and fogs l, anyone recommend some bulbs that fit like the OEMs and do not cost an arm and a butt cheek?

350 wheel's will fit but at a hefty price. Online 2009 wheel's are running for 2k and that's used with signs of wear, no tires, no caps and no tpms's. Check out kevin from menacing maximas. The wheels are beast!
