Simple Mods for my Maxima...Thoughts?

I wanted to share my love for Maxima's and get my fellow members thoughts on my modifications. Here's my mods and a pic. What do you think?

Mods:
-K&N Air Intake
-Stillen Cat Back Exhaust
-Eibach Pro Kit Suspension Kit
-20in x 9.5in Vossen 082 Wheels
-E&G Black Ice Grille
-Viper Remote Start (from Android phone anywhere you have reception...very cool)
-Bypass on DVD/Nav System to watch movies while driving (for my son)
-Debadged
-Tint (Windshield 30%, Windows & Sunroof 15%)
-Painted Tail & Spoiler Brake Lights (Light Gray Clear Coat)
-Orion Comp Class 10in Subwoofer w/ Custom Built Box to Fit Trunk
-HID Fog Lamps

Future Mods:
-Brake Kit (Any ideas?)
-Front/Rear Stabilizers
-Wheel Upgrade (Staggered)
-ECU System (Any ideas?)

Any ideas on a Brake kit and ECU system? Also would you install an ECU while still in warranty? Let me know what you think of the pics?

ok first things first i suggest you go spend $300 and get the block off plates and the intake manifold spacer kit from CoryXavior because other then the pulley and ypipe those two mods are the best bang for the buck. then to retune look into uprev $600

Oh snap.... you have one sexy Maxima!!! Where did you get your grill from?? I think you should add LED strips at the bottom next to the fog lights... For performance, just add a supercharger and your set...

yes, where did you get that grill from?! VERY NICE. I was originally going to leave my car stock, but after looking at that I changed my mind.

LOL Dude you remind me when I first joined this forums. I was planning to leave my Maxima stock and keep it simple like putting rims on it until I saw other people's Maximas on here . This forums inspired me. Any pics of your Max? If you need help modding your Max, you came to the right place. People here are experts. For the grill, I was leaning towards just like the one fclifton has but I went the cheap way and plasti-dipp my grill black just like the sport package.

yeah it reminds everyone of when we first joined this forum. none of us planned on the Max having all this additional expense.

then again nobody is complaining really cause 7th gens modded up look sick.

to the OP - only thing I'd do is paint the radiator black behind the grill so you can't see it as much, looks great though!

Ghozt, I am a new member to here and I got the mod bug going hard right now! I follow a lot of what you and Kmoney say about the Maxima mods so I have a question for the both you. I have the notto 5,000k for my headlights. I am about to get the fogs swapped to match with the same kit. My question is, do you think that will be too overpowering to on-coming traffic? What if I add some switchbacks to the turn signals, will that increase the blinking affect? I don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention (cops) cause I already got a ticket for speeding, testing out my new KN drop-in air filter. Thoughts? Also taking all others opinions as well.

Nicely done! I like the front end, but agree a stillen lip would finish it off really nice.

The car is looking good

You did forget one key mod that you haven't done yet...



Ha Ha J/K!

Keep up the good work with the car. I like what you've done to it so far.

^Yeah, honestly that sounds good to me. This car looks pretty complete. Unless you're going to attempt to SC or TC it... I can't see much else, though I'm sure there are a ton of things that CAN be done, I think it looks great like this.
