I have been looking into accessories for the Murano and I don't find many. Something like.... better aftermarket stabilizers, or maybe some cool spoiler would be nice. I know the Murano is not your typical project car, it doesn't hurt to dress her up a bit or maybe give her some better performance. ]]> otang76 2009-10-22T20:00:41-08:00 http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=226275;postid=5153110#5153110 Hello to everyone. I just purchased a 2006 Murano SL AWD yesterday. It's Chardonnay with the Touring Package and sunroof, 35k miles. Cafe latte interior. Nearly perfect exterior. I need to add window vent shields since I usually like to leave my windows cracked and I don't think that will work with the leather interior. It was also missing the cargo net and carpet floor mats so I will probably hunt those down as well. I had my heart set on a Lexus RX330/350/or the hybrid 404h but after reasearching the Murano and driving a few, I just couldn't justify spending the extra $6k-$8k. I'm looking forward to driving my new ride! It's Chardonnay with the Touring Package and sunroof, 35k miles. Cafe latte interior. Nearly perfect exterior.
