Howdy all,

I'm new to the forums and new to Rogue, and am looking to start customizing my new 2013 Rogue SV AWD.
I was aggressive when I purchased the car, and got a good price, but gave up a few bells and whistles to fit my budget. Most noteably - the loss of fog lights (Or frog lights, as I call them) and have begun checking the forum on how to do the install.

I recently wandered on to REMOVED, and if you type in Nissan Rogue or Nissan Qashqai there are oodles of things to purchase and install on your Rogue.

Has anyone here utilized XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX for customizing?
If so, I'm curious about their experience.

And now a more general question -
What's your favorite "on the cheap" customization?

I'm waiting on a very cheap thrills I ordered from XXXXXXXXXX , and will report back once I receive them :)

Thanks for your input!

A can or two of plasti-dip goes a long way, especially since you are looking for "low-cost" mods.

I was surprised what a difference a little plasti-dip, some window tints and vent visors made.

AliExpress/Alibaba is a web storefront selling items direct from independent Chinese manufacturers. Some transactions involve shady escrow payments. I'd stay the hell away from there.

Low cost mods...
Tinting windows
New wheels
Sound system upgrade
HID light install
All season floor mats (especially if you live in the snow belt)
Splash guards
Auto-dimming mirror

Wow... That's a heck of a welcome... "You sound like a bot". Mind you, a bot that went to the trouble to create an custom avatar, because she thought this would be an awesome place to chat with folks.

Sorry to disappoint, but I came here to talk about customizing my new ride.
Didn't realize that posting a website link was automatically going make me suspect... which is pretty crazy because I know I've seen other websites posted. Although, I guess it might seem nuts to post a link to overseas vendors for a car, you know, that was built overseas.

Apparently, this isn't the place to discuss stuff. My mistake, I erroneously thought we were here to have conversations, but I guess that's not the point of a forum.

Guess I'll go back to lurking, and keep my thoughts to myself.

Ah... but I need to add one more thing. The ali site, I pay by Credit Card, have ordered over $4,000 worth of merchandise in the last 3 years, and haven't lost out yet, had only 1 issue for which I was refunded. The worlds a big place folks, and 90% of your products came through that site, and others like it... Straight out of China. I'm not recommending it, or saying you should use it, I mentioned the option. But hey, it's your dime - do what you want.

no offense, but your post resembled that of a bot advertising that link. i simply asked you a question. glad to have you aboard, and enjoy your stay. you'd be amazed the extent that bots go through to not get banned by our software that catches them 75% of time.

I like perusing the web-site-that-shall-not-be-named. Interesting stuff, like the door lock buckle protective decoration cover. I honestly had no idea how naked my car was until I saw these things!
