Only spent a little so far, but the future holds a big dent in my wallet.
Since I do all the install myself that saves lots of $$.

Hmm,let's add it up,

Heres a list of mod's and there value's and the amount of time it took me to install.

V2 SC with Blitz BOV= $3449 and took 45 Hours to install
Eibach Tokico's = $600 and took 5 hours to install
RSB,STB = $320 and took 2 hours to install
2 pairs of Sylvania True HID's=$1000 and took 2 hours.
Epic rims and yokohama's=$1500 had installed
Cefiro 1 piece headlights=$365 and 1 hour to install
Y-Pipe and Cat-Back exaust=$1000 and took 4 hours

Clutch/Flywheel/Side skirts and a Cefiro grill in the mail
cost=$1100 .

This brings a grand total of $9934,well then I could add in my shift **** and pedals and some other little things and it puts me over 10 Grand{yikes}. I could be driven a 2001 I30T haha. Install time all together was about 60 hours and I hated every second of it!

It says MAXIMA!!
Just kidding

I wish I had that kind of cash to throw around, but I'm buying a townhouse. I figure 22years old, nice car, and owning my own place....that's pretty cool. Besides I can't decide if I want to mod my maxima or save for an M3?

Ahh ok, lets see now, Stillen Y-Pipe=$351 and Stillen Cat-Back= $650,so you do the math. I think I may have paid a little more thgen I should have for the cat back system,but at the time I just bought stuff from my local speed shop.


Breaux,Thanks for the compliment. I really need to get some new pics up,my current sig pic is from when my car was almost stock. My damn computer with all my camera software died about 3 weeks ago. The good news is I am getting a 1GHZ Computer with all the nice gizzmo's in a couple days. I will be able to post pics when I get it.

I added last year about $17K (not including the car)....This year I will add over $10,000, but some of the $$$ I spent on some of the original parts/modifications will be in vain, because they won't be used in the next project.

Pretty sad when you think about it, but its a personal statement.

I like my Maxima and would never sell it.....

(never say never, remember?)

WOW!! You're real positive. I think everyone realizes that they modify their cars to be individual.
This is a hobby and this is what we wants to spend our money on.
I mean how come you spend your money on Gay ****? I know most people hear would think that you're 1000+ video collection is a waste of money.

PS - I think you're mommy is calling you for dinner.

WTF!?! Who's do you think you are? I know you are CustomMax. My goodness you have no life whatsoever. If you don't like my car that's too bad for you. It's MY car and I really don't care what you think. You belittle others just because you have nothing better to do? You make me laugh since your car has nothing really worth mentioning, right? I'm not planning on selling my car soon, so you don't have to worry about my car. Besides, it's MY car so what does it matter to you in the first place? Geez, get a life. I have said nothing about you or your car, so who do you think you are to criticize me.

Look at you and fugly 20's Got pink lights... are you a poofter or something? Bite the pillow everynight? CustomRiceMax... you need to learn how to use a little tact when commenting other people's cars.

You got a webpage you little dingleberry? I feel sorry for the people that have to look at your ugly tail lights... because no one's going to by that floating boat of yours.

One more thing. It's interesting to see that you took the time to go to my webpage. I never asked you to go look or to comment about my site. It only proves you have nothing better to do.

LEAVE ME ALONE!

I guess I don't qualify as a Maxima technician. For my 1995 GLE I've spent a total of $5.00 for a UNC front logo plate. Oh, and a few bucks for a car cell phone charger.

OOhhHH this drama.. wakata. why you getting a sore in your eye for looking at her rims?? neone told u that it's real bad to stare at the comp too long, especially in the same spot.. wut bad paint job?? it's beige.. but u wanna knwo the truth. the majority of us all have crappy paint.. because of regulations on what the manufacture gets to use for paint, the quality has gone down. our paint are now water based that's y it gets chipped so darn easily.. so my advice is if anyone wants to get a paint job go to a shop that's been around for a long long while with a techie that still remebers how to shoot acrylic/enamel paint.. i think that's what it is that stuff turns out real good and last for a long time.
