New To the Board

Wsup
Im new to the board, wanted to leave a mark so when I start posting you guys arent like "who is this character?"

I have a 97 Forest green max(GXE).(NYC) Totally Stock. I got it from a dealers auction in bordington NJ. Its in good shape but needs alot of work. I dont even have rims I got hubcaps.NO foglights,no spoiler, good engine though.

I just ordered a front strut bar,clear bumper lights,side marker lights.

I already got my parking lights changed from that dim yellow to a super white. My headlights are those Xenon White/blue lights but for some reason they look more BLUE than anything and the high beam isnt that bright. I think it might be aimed wrong because I can look right into it and it wont even hurt my eyes. I also have 13% visibility tints which I already got FOUR tickets for in a checkpoint.Court date is feb 21 but i plan to beat it.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated because my max is lookin like a disgrace to maximas everywhere.
Only thing is i go to St Johns Univ so I really cant afford alot of expensive parts.

Mr Blank, I suggest you get the OEM goods..spoiler,fogs,the maxima looks naked without a spoiler.

And you DEFINATALLY need to put rims/suspension as your top priority!

hmmm,I was going to get a front stillen skirt kit(180) and my foglights next(180) and just wait for the spring to get rims. The salt for the snow or watever eats @ ya rims so I wasnt going to put them on till later. but my car definitely looks horribly corny without rims and its so damn high.

This dude Gary from garys Garage out in brooklyn if any of you know him has the craziest max ive ever seen. If you race up in the bronx im sure youve seen him. he has every possible thing u can have in a max including a supercharger but anyway I asked him if his was stick or automatic and he said that he bought some sort of shifter which can make him shift manually after first gear. I was like is that new?he was like nah its not new its something that been out for awhile.

WTF is he talkin about, i just nodded but i have no clue
What is that device and how close is it compared to a real manual?
