Well, i just joined these forums after having browsed them for a little bit since i got my A/C new in August of last year.. I have an 09 with very few mods on it atm as u can see in my sig.. What i was wondering is what should i move on to? I've been trying to decide between a Bullydog Gt, making a grounding kit myself, maybe getting new rims but i have new tires with only 7500 miles on them so id wanna keep 16in. so i dunno if its worth it.., a stillen lip kit, maybe finding a cool double din Nav/audio system to install.. Basically what im looking for are opinions on what would make my car look sexy and perform better and which I should go for first.. Im looking to try to keep things on the cheaper end without sacrificing quality but i'd probably be okay with spending around 500$ at a time which is why i want to try to see whats the best thing i can do and start with that until i have more money.. Thanks for reading all of this and if u have ideas i dont have here please post em, and thank for your opinions..

I started on the looks of my car before anything else.

I put in some interior LED's, very cheap and cool mod there. Then went with a Stillen body kit. After that, I went with the Bulldog since it was a relatively cheap way to get some extra performance out of my car.

Ok cool, I was def feeling a full led swap out to red... Do u know whatbulbs I need and for where? Also, do u know how the bullydog works? Cuz I was gonna get it before but was wondering how new software will help? If it could be done, why wouldn't Nissan do it them selves and be able to market a stronger more fuel efficient car?
Thanks for your help

if you go to the interior section of the altima forums, they have all the bulb sizes on a sticky at the top. really helpful information in that section of the forums.

Awesome, thanks rig and Ranga, a red LED swap is probably something I'll def do.. Are there guides on how to remove everything on there too? And this might be a nub question but where do I get LEDs? Like radio shack or autozone? Or should I eBay them..?

Sick, okay that's the route I'll go then, thanks mmx23z.. Well this is one thing I'm absolutely doing.. Now for my others.. I was looking through the electronics section and saw someone installed a kenwood nav/headunit in their coupe
so Ive also been thinking about that now too haha.. But on the more practical side, does anyone have any experience with Grounding kits? I want to DIY it and need
to know some things about them to give it a shot.. Mostly like what parts I need, how much, and what sizes but I detailed more about that in my post in the audio section .. But again, thanks to everyone helping me out here, I really appreciate it

Yeah I've seen their kit, but I was hoping I could just buy the basic components and then use their groundpoints and hopefully do it for 10-20$ and have something to do instead of 45$ and just installing the thing..
