It all depends on what needs to be replaced and what your preferences are. Me personally, i'd get handling parts since I like taking my turns and staying glued.

Either that or the HID's

I just got married this year and have about $1000 in savings which isn't much for me. I want to get at least 6 months worth of income saved which I know won't happen but at least 3 months would be nice.

The only 3 things I might consider at this point would be either DDE's, a new/better sub woofer or some sort of lowering of the suspension. If I lower the suspension I want to go all out and I doubt I can convince myself to justify the cost. So I'll probably end up not doing anything for my max and just sitting on any return I get.

this is my first time getting money from IRS...cause' i just started working in april of 2006...I hope i get some money back....But i'll def. wanna 02/03 bumper or stillen fascia for my maxy.....or if not that i'll probably get some 8000k bulbs for my HIDeeezzzleeesss.....

BTW: OCguy....When i was looking at your car i came to an excellent idea...Why dont you get 02/03 headlights and paint those suckers to black....you know how sick that would look on your car man...I saw some1s white maxima on here with 02/03 headlights painted black and he/she had black/cf eyelids...looks raelly sick...if i find it again, i'll send you a link...
but yeah keep that in mind....SRY its off topic guys
later

Not really anything to do with the tax return, but would like to get my Maxima a new muffler at some point. The outer layer is completely gone, yet it's not noisy. Before I wanted OEM, but now I'm willing to Midasize, saw a coupon for $59 lifetime warranty (sure I know there'll be labor but the OEM is over $200)...

How about donating a few bucks to the form!
That sure would be buying something special for your Max, you might even learn something. Hmm, you could say you're paying for education.

You are absolutely right.

I'm confused Jon...planning RWD/AWD addition to your garage soon, or just making fun of someone else? How's the se-r?

My Maxima is not getting anything. I'm not going to wait to buy car parts, any tax return I may get will just help replenish what I've spent in the last week on my 240sx. Got my ACT yesterday!!!

I was making fun of some other pointless thread.
Se-r has been parked since I got the Max back up on its feet.
