Hi all,
I know I've already posted a few times on the forums so my Introduction has been overdue. But alas, here it is!
I am 20 years old and live in Nokomis, Florida, outside of the beautiful city of Sarasota. I am a student of Mechanical Engineering and am still working on my BA. This is my third car and my third Nissan and so far, I am loving
NISMO. Her nickname is the Panda, which is probably going to end up being her color scheme as well
I picked up this car from it's original owner when I moved to Florida. It was a smoker's car but it had been taken care of for the most part. Sure it has a few scratches on the rear bumper and it's not glistening radiantly like the cars in the dealership, but it's clean. I took care of the smoke promptly by cleaning the heck out of it and then figured "ok, I'll keep it stock until I find a good deal on a 4-door sports sedan". As many of you have discovered, that feeling disappears quickly
After connecting on NicoClub (mostly for technical support at that time), I discovered that you can do AMAZING things with the Versa, and I started looking at my car differently.
So here is the list of mods I plan as money trickles into my coffers...
K&N drop-in filter
USB and AUX ports panel mounted in dash
Speaker upgrade
Tanabe lowering springs
Red out tails (maybe a light smoke instead)
Exhaust tip or axle-back exhaust (strictly aesthetic)
17" rims powdercoated grey-gold???
Mods already completed...
15/35 tint --- $125
OEM spoiler installed --- $108
Kenwood DDX470 head unit (double din) --- $235
Blacked out chrome on grill using PlastiDip --- $5
U-haul hitch for carrying my bikes and maybe a jetski in the future! --- $0
Converted to LED interior lights --- $20
Here is a pic of her after her tint job (no spoiler or grill change yet)
Thanks for all the support so far and for the wealth of knowledge here!
