GOT A ROGUE, GOT MODS?

[silverboy]

Hello guys, so you got a Rogue? How about mods?

Any ideas on what mods you'll like to do?

So far, I have tinted the front windows as well as the top windshield.Viper Alarm/remote starter.Backup sensors. Pics of the install on this link =>zer...npics



HD front grill mod(did it today). Pics of the install are here => zer...-pics



Why do this mod? Well I don't want to have this type of problems =>http://www.carcomplaints.com/H...shtml

I am thinking about doing the day time running lights next.Also, I'll like to change the fog light bulbs. I got the Xenon and will like to get diff fog bulbs to match the Xenon.

I ordered the rear spoiler today so I should get it in the next week or so.I May get the bottom of the bumpers paint(currently black color) to match the rest of the vehicle(Silver).

You go dog!!!

Now that I know I will keep the car, I will go ahead and retrofit the front and tail lights.Tail lights will be homemade leds arrays (turn signals will be amber despite the red lenses) and in the headlights, I will install FX projectors and may be change the high beams to projectors too (but halogen, not xenon).

Still have to put chrome on door handles but I may wait until the 10 model arrive to see what they have done with their chrome package.

Other than that, I have done what you have done, and change all the interior lights to leds (PnPs are progressively changed to homemade leds).

Ive debadged, 20% tint on driver and passenger windows, radar detector and thats it for now......but i plan to get HIDs and tint my tail lights, and hopefully black rims

[Pescakl1]

Sweet.You gotta post pics of the install.

It is planned, in a new thread.

Probably will do the tail first as the design of the headlights is not frozen yet.

2009 S AWD Silver w/dark tint. I don't know the % tint. It was done by the dealer but it's dark enough that I don't need to use "nigh t" setting on my rear view mirror. Discount Tire made me a great deal so I traded the less-than-adequate Conti's for some bigger (225/70/16) General Grabber HTS tires and had them mounted on a set of MB 5 X Wheels. I've gotten a lot of compliments from drive-by Rogue owners, but that's just icing on the cake. The wheel/tire combo I chose has proven to be excellent. And, yes, I have a spare General mounted on one of the steel wheels. When I get the roof rack and luggage basket installed, the spare will ride up top, leaving me the room in the existing spare hold for cargo and such. I de-badged about 3 weeks ago and really like the clean look. Unfortunately, shadows appeared from the "o" and "u" in Rogue, but I think the Sun will bleach those out. Spectre Performance makes all the individual components to custom built a CAI unit. I'm also looking at the new K&N Apollo universal systems. One or the other will be installed before the end of September. I visited my favorite custom exhaust shop and I think we can fab a really clean custom exhaust using a couple high-flow cats. I think these two mods will improve gas mileage and performance. I don't know how to post pic's yet but will learn and post some with the new wheels/tires. I'm now on the hunt for some better shocks and maybe better sway bar. Best, MDH

I used a Home Depot gutter cover. It is silver color and will not rust. I paid like $3 per piece and used two. Also, I used plastic straps.

View the install with pics here=>zer...-pics

[silverboy]

Just added the spoiler today.I paid $150, shipping incluided.They didn't have the color K53(silver) so they had to do the paint match(they got it right).

No template incluided but I manage to get it right(install).It really looks sharp.

I'll post pics when I get a chance.

Lou, well I guess I just missed you.I was in NY last month and I drove by Quenns, Brooklyn and Westchester.

Let me know what you need and I hook you up.

As far as the other guy, gotta question, I wonder if he knows how to count to 26...Din't think so!

I know the evil empire has their sights on Joe Mauer but that won't be happening.

BTW, very nice Mods. I like the front screen and the back up sensors. Did you put those on after market?

I got the tinypic.com to work and uploaded a picture, BUT, how do I get it to post here?

[EVOtwan]

Going to do inside/fog/license plate LEDS in a few weeks.

Spoiler install scheduled for 9/12/09.

Thanks for the parking sensor link, I want to do that!

After you upload your photo to tinypic... just copy the line of code from the window in tinypic labeled

"IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards"



Then just "paste" that small line of text into your forum post wherever you want the photo to appear.

For example I pasted a line of text that looked something like this in my response to you to get the above image to appear.

My wife has a Rogue but no mods. I think you guys are crazy spending money to mod the Rogue.
We would have bought a Murano if we wanted to spend more
