I recently purchased my 2002 Maxima, has 48k on the clock, and 6MT, the mod bug has already started.

I got it towards the beginning of May, as the car sits, I have removed the rear badges, got the windows tinted, and had 3M paint protection film applied to the headlights.




By the end of the summer, I plan to remove the pin strip, and hopefully acquire some new wheels as one of mine has curb rash from the previous owner

I am still on the fence about any performance mods, I really like the fact that the car is VERY quiet. I may do suspension and a few other small things, but, I want to keep it clean and keep it simple.

 

hlsd or no?

 

Drop.... Doesn't have to be dramatic but needs a drop none the less. There's a million and one things you can do for our car for next to nothing. search the great pic thread and you'll see. Congrats

 

I suggest Cattman coilovers, stillen lip kit, cattman IHE, done.

 

I don't think so, but, I never also looked to see.

 

if it has metal pedals it has the lsd. if not then no.

 

Yeah man I'd do suspension first if I were you. In my opinion it is the single mod that changes the car the most - looks and performance. There are quite a few options, just research the suspension stuff on here and see what works best for you. You will get flamed for starting a new thread with a suspension question, so I would advise reading a lot before asking, and then ask somebody who seems knowledgeable in a PM. Good luck!

 

Then no it doesn't.


Thanks!

 

does the 3m stuff really work?

 

Nice 5.5 Gens are sick!

 

I have had mine on only a short time, but, from what I was told is, it will

1. Fill in small pits
2. Stop yellowing
3. Prevent rock and bug damage
4. Make headlights look a lot clearer

Here is a pic of it applied to one of the headlights

Here is a much higher resolution of the same pic.

In the future, if I ever get my car painted, or, all the rock chips and scratches painted/smoothed out, I'd like to get the 3M paint protection applied to the rockers all the way back.

 

take the pin strip out and it'll look even better
