To clean it up?
Wow! After reading your list, my first impression was that your Rogue was in raggity condition, is that a word? Lol. Early morning from waking up just Web surfing.
Well raggity like those car seats. Seat transformation looks pretty amazing .
But I was pleasantly suprised the exterior looks great.
I can feel your passion and like to say you really did an awesome job doing those detailed tiny fixes.
Just writing that list took effort. Lolz. So thanks for posting.
I can tell your into details, cuz painting the muffler black with heat resistant paint was one of my first mods, I never like that silver bubble under the bumper. I love it now with it under the radar, that I 99.9% never notice it anymore. Was a peeve in the beginning.
I like using rust convertor on small spots on the underbody or anywhere I see rust. Just learned about vinegar cleaning too myself.
If you have money lying around, I would use a paintless dent repair guy on your baby if dents are that big.
Lucky you, my ball catch BROKE OFF! Dealership tried to charge me $600 for a broken motor thingy-ma-jig when the handle won't open. So I mcguyvered it by twisting the leftover wire in such a way that it works now. I tell my kids to exit the good door cuz I'm paranoid it will break. Worked for many years now so far! Knock on wood.
Also do the wire mesh mod on 4 bottom bumper holes to protect your radiator from pebbles and rocks. Also one of the first things I did.
I even wire meshed the holes beside the Nissan logo. It's silver on yours.
I'm detailed or obsess too lolz.
Maybe you did it, but since you didn't mention it on general maintenance.
Changing the pvc valve, cleaning the oxygen sensor, and use fuel/fuel injector cleaner. The latter since the gov't and my area forces us to use corn in our gas.
Eventually the rogue will get those dreaded lean bank codes.
Front and rear dash cams because drivers are crazy out there, I have 2 different models. But I have a Viofo 119 in the front and cheap WI fi preevio in the rear. I mod it in the rear by attaching to plastic panel so it does not need to attach to window.
I see that viofo now has a duel version.
I experimented with a dash cam is recording sticker in the rear, and 99.9% people give you a car length space behind you. Most huge 4×4 trucks NEVER up my tail. Don't know if it's cuz of the sticker.
Cops even give me space. Dash cam vs dash cam I guess, lolz.
I could see this since I have a high mount camera as a live view rear mirror.
3 live cameras actually. High, rear license mount( for backing up only or full time if you want), and rear kid cam(baby cam back in day.) Needed baby cam cuz I once tap car at stoplight trying to look at my baby. Kid cam now.
Thought of removing sticker because it's pink for best visibility, but I'll keep it for now.
Nose bra people are detail people. In beginning I thought they were great, but my lazy butt never removed it when it rained when I use to own a pearl glow maxima back in the day. And I garaged it too.
After a long time, it will ruin the paint job underneath. So avoid it getting wet.
Tinted license plate cover will compliment bra. I use one even though it's illegal. Back too. Pretty lucky with cops so far. My exterior is so busy looking I guess they don't care.
Back in day, I use old style where you had to sew thro holes to put steering wheel cover, you are detailed my friend! Thank god for steering wheel covers at Wal-Mart!
Update the radio and back up camera
Mine plays music videos on an SD card when I'm not streaming YouTube to the rear DVD headrest screens for the kids in the back from my iPhone.
Try to use top tier gas, every lit bit helps.
Had limo tint on top of oem. Summers are humid hot at times.
Sunstrip on top of front window if law allows it. Go to asm line.
It's legal in my area if you have lettering. After failing inspection twice and scratching my top area to hell removing twice! Well I had to have it so I got my tint guy to put tint over some strange lettering or symbol sticker I bought at pep boys and it passed ever since. Wierd law.
Since you garage it, a battery maintainer to keep your battery in tip top shape.
Especially if you have a lot if electronic gadgets or listen to radio with car not running occasionally. Less stress on alternator.
Rear & Front differential change. A must for awd. Of course cvt transmission drain and fill.
I did it 4 times in 2 months. Wanted it green as possible. Obsessed anyone?
I'm more ocd. =)
Funny thing is I like changing oil 15,000-20,000 miles. So not ocd?
Amosoil SS, so calm down people. Lolz. I'm good.
More decorative, get body colored moldings. Might clash with your silver ones, I don't have those. It kinda might look like the 3rd pic with that reflection it made. If your into that look.
I had 1 1/5 inch back in the day b4 got in an accident on 1 door and removed it all a few years ago, So I replaced it last year with 2 inch wide color coordinated side moldings.
Plastic dip side mirrors. It will even match the texture and look of the bottom black part. Protects paint and of course removable if you don't like it. Will compliment your rogue bra and vent visors.
Black towel on dashboard to reduce window glare, cheaper than buying custom carpet version. Works great 4 me.
Seat covers to keep clean, but that imitation leather looks comfortable. Uncovered is fine too.
Add rear spoiler.
If really ocd detailed, soundproof at least doors, kinda wanted too but too lazy.
Radio always on and doors sound pretty solid.
Other than that, keep up the good work.
Looks great so far.
