buy a bra...not for your woman...

a clear bra...the main complaint of all maxima owners is the shoddy paint on our cars...

There is no such thing as a ENTIRE body bra, so I say save your money for a new paint job.

Tint all the windows and add FSTB and RSB like everyone else said, also add some nice rims.

Dress up the interior a lil bit, add some clear corners.

Congrats on the new ride !

Just get a tint, fstb, RSB (RSB definitely makes a difference and you will feel it ASAP) and enjoy the ride for a while .

oh yeah..and I'd get rid of those taillights...if I were you I would swap them out with some tails from like a 2000 GXE.

I know someone who would probably be interested...if you were so inclined..
