Lightbulb Looking for recommendations for exterior mods

I've recently purchased a 2023 Platinum Maxima and I have had no luck finding cosmetic or aesthetic mods for my new car. Any suggestions on what to get or where to look?

My car is the Pearl Tri-coat with Kashmir int. and I would like to add anything to the exterior that would enhance the look of the car.

I plan to do the performance mods later as the 300hp is enough for me now but that will change later.

Welcome Sir. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but 300 hp is about it. These cars cannot be tuned or modded for performance besides goofy pipes or silly air intake.

to the Org. "Help" is a lame thread title and non-descriptive. I've changed it to something more appropriate. Please be mindful of how you title your threads in the future.

I recommend you surf on over to Stillen and see what exterior mods they have for your Max.

Of course window tint should be at the top of your list.

I see no parts for the 23, but 8th gen parts from past years should fit, right? Like after MY 2019 as they made some changes mid generation

Yes, they should fit just fine. Before you place an order, give Stillen a call if you have any doubts.

Besides Stillen, I don't think anyone else is making exterior mods for the Max. All you can do is Google and do a search on Ebay.

The factory option side skirts do add to an already great look. Also the factory rocker light kit sets it off at night. Congrats on getting one of the last great cars for the money!

Don't forget the get a ceramic coating on the car. It reallly helps with saving the front from bugs, small road rocks.

I live in the New York Metro area, do you think that would be expensive to have that done around here?

Why don't you look up some shops in your area and compare prices, that way you will know.

I also just bought a 2023 Maxima Platinum in Pearl White with the cashmere interior!! The options included the sport spoiler, rear diffuser, rocker panels, splash guards, interior accent lighting and illuminated sill plates. I’ve planned some mods and I’ll be posting a forum thread with pictures once they are all complete. Adding:

- Motordyne cat back exhaust and ART Y-pipe
- K&N Typhoon intake
- AAM Competition Tuner
- Stillen front air splitter
- Window tint - 20% front, 15% rear
- Full Ceramic coating
- Window vent visors - smoked
- Hood protector - smoked
