These were taken back in May of last year. I love my car and it's my very first car. But I don't feel like it represents "me". I wanna modify it but I don't know where to start. Hence me registering here for some advice maybe. And I really want an auxillary jack in the car but the S model doesn't have it What's a solution for that also? I tried a wireless transmitter but it sounds horrible

Get an aftermarket deck or go to the stealership and buy one of the SL radios.

You can do that even with a base model car?

I like your car's color , I think better you install double Din 7" DVD player instead of the versa S stupid radio.

What would make it feel like "you"?

Are you an audiophile? Get a very intense sound system.

Are you an outdoorsman? Throw a roof rack on it for your bikes/surfboards/kayaks.

Are you loud and tacky? Slap on some chrome 16s and neons.

Are you in to performance vehicles? Sell it whenever you can and get something that can perform.

Looks very nice. Don't know if I want something like that (Movie watching) in the car. But it's something to investigate

Did you "buy" the Versa or are you leasing it? If you are leasing it (essentially renting it) then I would be careful. Be prepared to return any modifications back to stock before you have to return the car.

For now, I would recommend a used Factory radio out of a wrecked SL. This will get you a 6 disk changer and an Aux port. If you search http://www.car-parts.com you will see that you can get one for $150. Once installed (which is just plug in wires) it will look "factory correct" and best of all, no one will want to steal it.

You may also search ebay and find a used radio from an Versa SL there.

Nah not really into having a giant *** box taking my trunk space. Just would like to have that mp3 hookup but most aftermarket places said Nissan cars need antennas or whatever in order for it to work

LMAO@loud and tacky

Not into performance either. I think after joining this forum and looking around (after I posted this topic), I might have a general idea. I saw a link for tirerack.com and saved it in my browser, tints are cheap, and I would like to (don't need it) have a sunroof. BTW, you guys have some nice *** cars. I would have never pictured some of these Versas to look like they do

Oh no I'm buying it.

I'm scared to try and do it myself in worries of me possibly messing something up. But I would love that SL radio. Would it still function with my basic model?

I understand what you mean when you state: it doesn't feel like "me".

The V is an ok car. Gotta remember that is is an entry level car that was purpose built for economy and room while delivering a pleasant driving experience.

It isn't a sports carIt isn't fastIt isn't bigIt isn't very s*** isn't machoetc - you get the picture.

Given the above - it is a nice, economical, reliable car. If it is your first car, it likely won't get you in trouble either - but will be cheap to own, which is important for a first car. Save the temptation to spend lots of cash/time to make it something that it isn't. All that will do is make worth less money and make it hard to sell.

Exactly. Used cars that are completely stock down to hubcaps sell the most easily.

Another Bommarito shopper! Wife and I just road tripped there last month to get our Titan. Great guys to work with.

If it doesn't feel like you, you can see if they are willing to give a deal on a leftover '08 Sentra or Altima (or something) and kill the lease on it.

Thanks to the replies, I have a direction I want to go in. I think I'm going to get that used SL radio installed, maybe get tints, and a sunroof. I should be alright. Thanks a lot guys
