to fueler. forgot now, dont feel like looking for the box, but they are from this website.http://www.automotivelightingusa.com/ edit: and to qxxx4 i actually want to take mine off soon, probably when i do the suspension and it settles and its 2" lowering, i will take off the running boards again, and the roof rack , will make you think its lowered more than it really is. since the roof rack adds like 4 inches to the look of it from like behind. lol edit again: but question about the dashlight mod, can the needles be changed to a diff colour? since i remember at night i road by this audi, and its dash and controls etc were green like ours, but its instrument panel, had green for like the speed etc. and then white needles. i though that would look pretty sick, and no need to go thru the trouble of changing the temp, etc lights to blue. and have that all stock look if the needles were white and dials green.

the front bumper just looks better in pictures, its actually chipped alot, but it looks better with a good detail job like i did, believe me, they put down a s*** load of salt, gravel and sand in pennsylvania, but especially gravel cause of the hills, and it chips your paint but also, no rust, but you gotta have the balls to wash and wax your car in 20 degree weather, and the water starts icing on your hood so you have to get it in the garage quick, and also washing the underbody alot. pays off.

haha it already kills me just with ugh to i bet you offroaders is nothing but even the little chips it has kill me , id want it all to look like it was fresh, no chips, dings, dents, touch up paint. i really want to get a paint job, and get it the same colour, or a purpleish-redish colour changing paint, but that s***s expensive.

Bad idea. Those lowering spring will eat out your suspension and give you really bad ride quality .

Since we are IFS & use struts up front I'm sure you could bag the R50, but if you do you aren't allow to post up here anymore

Anytime you simply lower you vehicle its gonna ride like hell, unless you do some form of race/performance job but nothing like that exists for R50's. Let me say this, I'm lifted & have bigger tires, the ride is a bit rougher, to say the least, than stock height (especially with the tires I run) & many people (especially here on NICO) wouldn't dream of going with my setup because the ride will be waaay too rough for their delicate little as$es. If you like it & are into it then it won't matter. If you want a supremely comfortable ride on long trips then by all means keep the same suspension setup (maybe upgrade to nicer softer struts & shocks) but if you have a certain look you want (mine is more of an offroad performance issue but its essentially the same concept its just a matter of what you're in to) then to hell with everyone else & what they think, go with the lowering coils & throw some God-awul 20's on it but for the love of everything that is good & holy DO NOT put that little DUB emblem on it. Try it out for yourself

what i want , and no dub is lols, is just to lower it, if i sacrifice ride quality a little, then ok, i just dont want it to ruin the new suspension, as long as its only that then its good, and as long as its even more stable than it is on turns than it is now, that would be an even better plus for me.

most likely hifonics as of now. and the car is a 2002 se bought with 17k miles on it used, it has every option except for leather, navigation, and the side mirrors painted to match body colour like on the LE's, and also it doesnt have the LE rims, thats about it, everything else its loaded like an LEedit: anyone want to guess how many miles are on it now? im thinking its actually really clean compared to most of them on here since alot of you offroad.

No theres really only like 4 or 5 of us that talk over here that wheel ours. Theres more over on NPORA but even then theres not that many people that wheel the hell out of R50's, especially compared to like WD21's

miamiheat, Did your Pathfinder come with the roof rack fairing (the one that has NISSAN on the front) or did you remove it? If you removed it, how did you remove it from the rack? Also, do you get a lot of wind noise without the fairing? Thanks! Also, how did you do the instrument cluster light mod? That looks really cool! Is there somewhere I can find instructions on how to complete it?

i removed it, in the front, i think i took off those 2 plastic covers if i remember right , but pop them off carefully or you might end up having to superglue clips back on, and then you should see which screws to take off to remove it, and no there is really no noise, obviously at freeway speeds you are going to get some but thats normal for any sunroof.and the instrument panel mod, you need to buy 2 bulbs, and search for a thread, the starter should be slickroger. thats where i got it from.

yeah man, very clean paint for that milleage... one of the things I never liked about the pathfinders was the running boards- I like the way the Q has them shaped and faired to the body: like more of a continuation of the rest of the car...
 That's just me. Looks good thoughand you mentioned going with a mirror tint? I'm not sure that you can do that under the factory tint... I'd just try to match the front windows to the factory back. I like that look a lot more than the mirror tints- but to each his own. Oh and sweet color

Likewise. Counted 14 chips on the bumper, 27 on the hood, and another 11 on the roofline.

to nick, couldnt you just get the factory tint removed and go with the mirror then?and also your ride looks pretty clean for being in new york. i used to live on long island, and most of the family lives their, and there rides deteriorate pretty quick, but thats put also with them not really giving a s***. whole family pretty much drives hondas, nissans, infinitis, acuras.

its factory colored glass - the "tint" is not removeable. the only way to do that would be to change out all the windows.

yeah miami, that color is literally inside the glass, not on top of it so it cant really be removed. And yeah the northern winters are rough on everything, but I've touched up dozens of scratches, and repainted the rear bumper and fenders entirely- If you do it right those repairs are invisible to even the most critical eye. I definitely wouldn't repaint the whole car because of a few scratches ( I really wanted to have my q painted black for a while, until I asked around...$$$)

true about just painting parts themselfs, like hood , rear bumper and front, but then again when i detail it, and like i look at the car from the side, theres like little dents that go in a little you could see. which pisses me off.

miamiheat,With your help I was able to find the instrument cluster mod and I also removed my roof rack fairing successfully, Just one question, do you know of any good super glue? hahaha Those clips you warned me about snapped right off, the front clip on both sides just broke off with ease. I have another question, did you remove the clear tape under the fairing? How were you able to remove it? Thanks for your help!
