Nice ride

You could paint the grill black to match the car, i've seen that done and it looks pretty sweet. Maybe upgrade the headlights and tint the tail lights too. Give it the whole "blacked out" look if you're into that. Then of course rims but that's kinda an expensive upgrade most of the time.

I painted the grille on my Q black to match the car. Didn't prep it well enough, though, so it has flaked and chipped badly. It looked really good before it started chipping though.

Haha that does look pretty sick lowered. But I only have a part-time job because I am a student so I don't have tons of money to put into it. I was thinking-

Definitely the Cefiro glass 2-piece headlights, Cefiro V.I.P grille, white L.E.D turn signals, VHT nightshade for tailights (possibly corner lights? I don't know...opinions?), and a "Brilliant blue" H.I.D kit

Then maybe towards winter time when I have more money some black 18/19's with a silver lip

for my opinion, the rims will change the looks more dramatically than most of the other stuff. and i would definitely get a set of angel eyes instead of cefiro 2 piece. grille maybe, i would just sand it and repaint it, white led definitely (cheap too, set costs like $8 off ebay). also, you can change the cabin lights inside and replace those with leds too. for blue or white ones, theyre about $5 a piece and cheaper if you buy whole sets of those. the lamp specs are inside the service manual if you need those.

as to nightshade, you can also just put tape over the trunk and paint it without taking it off. ive seen many websites that do it like that, and it turned out good. just make sure you tape it very very well. i would then get the headlights tinted too. probably 3 layers of black and 5 layers of polyurethane. i dont know how you will manage to keep the "INFINITI" silver though, thats a lotta effort taping. maybe you can paint everything and then sand the paint off the INFINITI. it will definitely look good at the end.

Cefiro headlights either one or two piece. Def do those since you have the body work for them to fit perfectly.

Drop of some sort. I'm on progress/blues and love it (sig pic is stock don't mind it).

Manual trans swap. I hate automatics.. with a passion.

Some nice OEM wheels. Don't fall into the over played fads please.

Open your tails remove the amber piece. Lightly smoke the clear part. See here http://memimage.cardomain.net/...l.jpg

If your going to do HID's go with projectors. Plug and play kits look like s*** and give you crap for output. And also I recommend going with a 4300k kit. I know people with a 6k in their projectors and hate it because their visiblity isn't as good.

A nice cattman catback and y-pipe. do the y first releases a nice burst of power.

LED that interior. I've done my whole interior without the bulbs, I've had horrible experiences with them. It's very easy to do and soldering irons are cheap.

If you don't already have one get a auto dimming mirror. Best thing ever I'm glad I found one at the boneyard.

I can keep going but I don't feel like it tonight. lol

Ok Nrw I like your suggestions. Very intriguing. Headlights are a must. Drop is kinda impractical cuz of this typical Chicago weather The trans swap would be ideal, a little too much money tho. I hate auto too, you have no idea. Next car will be manual no doubt.

And yeah I would love to put some of the M45 wheels on there. Would those fit? I have no idea.

And untrueparadox, are you sure cuz I dont wanna do what you said then end up messed up. Not saying I dont believe you, but just rather be safe then sorry lol.

Nrw, if you could find me a link to a projector H.I.D kit and the exhaust stuff, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks guys for all your help =D

Yes m45s fit.

Projectors you do yourself. Read up on HIDplanet.com for how to's and such. Very imformative site. Also compares many projectors against eachother so you can get an idea of what you'll get for output.

Cattman.com for the exhaust. Your better off emailing him for your needs since the site is old and is in need of a update.

I hear what your saying about weather/roads. But it's not all to bad. Keep your stock wheels and throw some snow tires on them run those in the winter. I've gone up hills that 4x4 trucks got stuck on in my car w/snow tires lol.

Ypipe is as simple as unbolting your stock one and bolting the new one in. Don't forget to buy some OEM nissan gaskets for it. The ypipe is basically the best bang for the buck power mod for the a32's.


Angle eyes... I personally only like them on bimmers and that's it. Same thing with the audi led strip I think it only looks good on those. On anything else it looks a little even more so when you don't even have a projector..

woops didn't actually hit the link just assumed it was a link to angle eyes by themselves.

As for if your cali spec or fed spec you have to open your hood and go to the vehchicle info plate, shiny metal plate on firewall.The top row is the Vehicle Identification Number, starting with J. The second row is model information. The first five characters are BLHUL. The 12th character is the destination

V = California
U = US, not California

Unless I had a BMW I wouldn't be bothering with angle eyes. But that is my style and taste, yes those are projector headlights btw..

But the important thing you have to remember is that it is your car. Don't do stuff to it to make the masses happy. Do what makes you happy. It's not worth the hassle of trying to please everyone because you can't. And will just cause more stress for yourself in the long run. Also if someone is saying something about your car in a negative way don't worry about it. It's your car and if it makes you happy f*** them.

You know what really gives the car a meaner, sportier look? Infiniti makes a spoiler for the 99 I30. I have one on mine and it looks a hell of a lot better. It's an OEM part, and you can probably find it on ebay or an infiniti parts store

You're going to have to poke holes in the trunk in order to attach the Spoiler. Be ready for that. However the spoiler is awesome (I have one on mine) and adds a 5th brake light. I can check how much they were stock if you'd like, my window sticker is in a folder somewhere
