Hi all! I want to surprise my hubby with some stuff for his car this x-mas. He's put this habit (addiction) on-hold this past year so that we could do some other stuff. Now I want him to be able to start getting his car where he wants it to be.

Can anyone direct me to a good site for exteior aftermarket parts? I've been to the links page and there are too many! I figure this is a good place to start, as I don't have to know a lot about the technical stuff with performance enhancement.

Thanks so much!

Lori

 

You should buy him some new brakes from me..

Sorry, I dunno nothing about exterior mods.. I make them go and stop fast.

 

You can goto www.RedlineMax.com and get your hubby a set of Hyper Black clears ($45) for the front and a set of Red/White Tail lights ($99) ... if you buy two things from them you can save on shipping

 

i hope to one day marry a girl like you.....my gf does nothing but complain that i spend too much money on my car

 

My wife is like that now. I figure I deserve to spoil myself, seeing as how I just got back from Iraq.

 

same here . complain why i spend so much money.

 

Lori,

Your Hubby is a luck guy...check the forsale forum for some parts...I know that squard is selling a front bumper and the brakes from Matt would be a very COOL X-mas gift...trust me! As well as the lights from Redline...Girl u got some work to do...get out the mastercard, and GO SHOPPING!!

 

Thanks guys!! I can't imaging why a girl would complain about having a man with a well-kept, stylin' ride! (Although, just make sure you spend some $ on your woman too!!) Plus, I love scootin' around in it for girl's night.

TofuShop, thanks for the excellent link! That's exactly what I was looking for, something easy. I think I may even steal his car for a day and install 'em myself! I love taking things apart!


to you all!!

my gf supports me pretty well about it, bought me a set of speakers and an mp3 player. i'm glad to see that you are supporting your husband, i'm sure he will be very appreciative

 

marry me!!!!!!
i want a turbo for x-mas.....
j/k.....

redlinemax is really reliable....ange is great......happy shopping....oh yeah, WE WANT SOME PICS........of the car of course.

 

what a woman

 

START HERE:

WWW.SOUTHWESTAUTOWORKS.COM

VERY EXCELLENT service/prices

 

wow...she's calling herself a wench

 

u think she can do my taxes this yr?

 

these are not exterior but are a must - Ypipe, Rear Sway Bar, and Front strut Tower Bar

 

What a wife!!! I have the same luck...wife bought me my Y-pipe for my B-day....hope she gets me a Turbo for my next B-day!!

 

Ok, you've got a true girlie girl on your hands. What are these?

I've been on a few sites, but they haven't let me search by keyword and I can't find this. Don't mean to be a dumb blonde pain in the @$$ (I'm truely not blonde) but could someone tell me what these are?

The Wench

 

no problem

all info u need on the Rear Sway Bar - http://www.custommaxima.com/ProgressRearSwayBar.php

Y-Pipe
http://maxmods.dyndns.org/?MaximaYpipes
i would get the budget one or 200$ warpspeed one

 

the y pipe will give you a few extra horsepower, not a tough install if you are mechanically inclined with air tools. The other two are suspension mods which help the handling of the car. I wish my girlfriend bought me stuff for my car.

 

1 word

BODYKIT

maybe 2 words...i don't know

 

Ya I would go with a body kit for him. What kind of limit do you have on his gifts?

 

if SHE was a he you all would be tellin her to search like a newbie lol love the double standard

 

bahahahah thats SO TRUE.

 

but search is down, time to be nice

 

hey i just asked if she can do my taxes

 

give her the same treatment we give everyone else i don't like the double standard, nothin against u maxwench i bet she won't do ur tax's either way haha

 

works for me

 

when u be nice ur post count also goes up







also if u have more money to spend, get him a HID kit
anyone got affiro's homepage link, she should look at those pics

 

Araffio's Homepage

Look here for some great ideas. For exterior mods I would first get some rims.

-Nick

 

 

My favorite exterior mods:
1. Red/clear taillights- $100
2. Clear corners (in front bumper)- $30
3. Rims+tires- $500-$2000

Power/ Handling
1. Y pipe- 15 hp- $200-$300
2. Rear Sway Bar- $100

 

I think a Stillen bodykit, Red/Clear taillights, and some diamond cut clear corners would be great exterior Christmas gifts.

 

I think I'm going to go with the red/ white tail lights and the clear corners for x-mas. This is something I can take over to my friends garage, install and bring home and say "surprise!". I'll leave a few hundred under the tree and he can get whatever else he wants to go with it.

I'll post pics eventually!

Thanks to all of you that haven't blasted me for asking dumb new questions...I know they're dumb and you usually wouldn't put up with them. I'm just working with a small window of time before the holidays. So, thanks for understanding.

Also, thanks for giving me a link to Araffio's hp!! Very nice! Although, I'm slowing going to have to break myself into spending that kind of money on the car. I need a new set of wheels before we go too nutty. (I hate my car!)

Later guys,
L

DanNY - if you really want me to do your taxes, shoot me an email and we can talk about it!!

it's good to have a very supportive wife..mine is very supportive....good looking out...

 

you gotta talk to my girlfriend and give her some inspiration!

 

whats your price range? best exterior mod is a kit and a drop and rims. If your price range is under 1k, get a kit and springs.

 

Go take the car and get it Tinted so people can't see what's going on in the backseat
i prefer 5% rear, 20% front

 

maxwench<---BEST SCREEN NAME EVER!
I would say some red/clears, a stillen kit, and maybe a drop

 

Tint was actually a b-day present two years ago. That was the last thing we did to the car.

 

lol, so whats the progress? buy him anything?
