Well I'm thinking about doing the following mods to my car. I want to know what you guys think, any advice, ideas, etc.....

1. Hook up (white) neon lights under the dash, and seats to my courtesy light. SO that every time I open the door, the whole inside of the car lights up (in a white bright light), even considering swapping out the original light fixture with small neon lights. I just dont feel the little yellowish light, gives enough light to look for thigns that I drop. So what do you think? DO able? ANy advice??? Where do I go about finding the little switch that makes the lights go on?(I know there on the door)

2. I'm gonna purchase the new maxima door sils offered by custommax, They look awesome, now my catch is, I have a 95 max, with the tan/dark brown interior. I want to get a matching wood kit, that matches the door sills exactly. What is the wood color of the door sills? Does joshua tree dash kit carry it? I'm trying to give my car that LUXURY LEXUS like interior, and how hard is it to switch out my side panels and seats with Leather Seats?(How much should I be paying if I'm giving them my panels and seats (cloth) for there leather parts?

3. My buddies and I are gonna try to do the whole Custom Exhaust like the maxima from Fast and the Furious, how hard is it for me to accomplish this? Is there any flaws to this?? I was told this is not such a hard thing to accomplish, just cut a hole, and fix the exhaust into, etc..... Any advice on this one???

Thanks guys, any ideas or opinions would help.

 

#1-easy enough to do if you want this. your just going to have to mess with alot of wires. personally i would find this useless but to each there own.

#2-the 1st interior work you do should be a leather swap and then a dash kit. then your car will look a bit more classy.

#3- ya ya go make your exhaust. i can only image the horror. how can you make your own exhaust?
unless you have a pipe bending machine it's real hard. seeing as how a catback form a muffler shop is like 160 bucks just have them do it. the f&F max had a stillen exhaust. which is fullybolt on so in that egad. you could install it...

 

cool, I'll check out that stillen kit thing. Thanks

 

don't take offense, but IMO these mods are worthless and unnecessary. Just my $.02 - I would do none of these mods. If anything, they make a Maxima look worse in every way. But hey, it's your car...do whatever you want to it.

 

I'm pretty sure he was aware of that.

 

there's a thing called sarcasm, but I'm pretty sure you were aware of that

 

Just so you know the exhaust for the F&F maxima was made by Magnaflow. It wasn't just made by some shmucks in a garage. The guy who put the car in the movie and who owned it was Greg Lieberman or something like that, he is a development manager(I think) at magnaflow so he had the exhaust made professionally.

 

How exactly was that sarcasm?? Yes it IS his car and he doesn't need you to remind him. The only way that would be sarcasm is if it wasn't really his car.

 

I don't think the exhaust would be THAT hard to make. Just cut a couple inches off the b-pipe, weld them back together and then cut off the muffler tip and weld on a "elbow." Cut a hole thru the side bumper and viola. But just remember. You gotta pay to play. That might cost a pretty penny

 

if you find white neons, can you let me know where you get em from?

 

OMFG, when a ricers gonna die?

 

I thought it was ractive, but when i look up the info all i get is stillen

 

umm dont listen to boss its sounds cool do what you want

 

custom ehast is cool i did mine myself weld/fabricate but neon idea is useless and leather seats? just find some used maxima leathers

 

for reference.....
gives the breakdown for the F/F maxima
However the real question is WTF is that decal doing on it

$ 300 Stillen Custom Exhaust

 

LOL, I love the way you guys are. I totally understand the riceness of my mods, but hey its something I like, and wanna do. Down here, it gets the ladies, i'm a little bit immature right now, maybe a year from now, I'll throw the lights out, cause it was a stupid idea when I was younger, but for now I wanna try it, see how it works. The leather seats, are coming from a 96 MAXIMA, but I'm trading out my seats and panels in turn for his (leather), should I pay a difference? I'm gonna do the exhaust later, Hey BOSS is that your actual licnese plates? I switched mine to say Nissan, maybe stupid but it makes me different than all the other maximas out here. lol, peace
