NOS or Leather or Bodykit.........

ok, I wanna do one more major mod to my lovely max, but I'm torn between the above choices..

If I didnt have to spend $500 recently on new tires and belts replacement, I'd have gotten the leather seats already..

Help me decide.. btw, my max has 120K miles and I'm prolly gonna keep it for another 200k, so no "No more mods for you. Save your money" comments please.

I'm leaning towards the bodykit..

If you get NOS, I think the final total will be more than just $500. Besides the NOS kit, you'll need gauges, bottle heater, purge valve, remote bottle opener, etc. With all the stuff, I say it's a bit over $1k. Although it's not required to have all of those, I think it's recommended.


So with that in mind, I say go for the body kit or leather. I think the leather or bodykit will cost more than $500 though. Roughly around $700 for the whole leather kit or bodykit.

Yeah, I know. I meant I'd have used that $500 plus some emergency mod fund to get the stuff.

If I end up getting nitrous, I"m only gonna get 50 shot. That way, I dont need gauges, fuel pump or stuff.

i'd say leather or the NOS but i do not recommend N20 unless you are educated on it and understand what is needed and what to look for when things start acting up

Also with nitrous, you can't just simply install it and forget it. You have constantly monitor it and tune it accordingly. That's the good thing about a bodykit or leather, after you install, that's it.

leather or body kit

i'd go with the body kit
and wait for another group deal on leather or at least wait until the summer is over, you won't enjoy your leather seats as much now
