This is why I didn't want to MOD her. Just a week ago I spent $400, installed for my Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs. Today, I picked this up. It cost me $62 CAN! I need to slow down... LOL

Nissan's Aluminum Kickplates. Seriously, this should've been standard on the 3.5SE.

EDIT: Here it is. I love the look, worth the $62 I paid.

I think that's a pretty standard price, and it's only 8 dollars off... not the world's difference.

Ya I have kickplates and Cloth floormats, I thought all came like that, I thought I got the lowest of the low. No stereo, sunroof, or anything but I got the alloys which is cool

I want to add a sunroof and from what I've gathered it should only cost around $900 to have one put it. I did not like the one that came on the car, it's way too small for my liking, so hopefully when I get some more cash I can get a bigger one put in

Sweet, I am not the only one who got the lowest of lowest model here.

My car came with nothing at all. Not even alloy wheels. I did get the carpet mat and trunk mat toss in for free and a free standard alarm for the car (Karr alarm I think).

You aren't the only one going mod crazy.

I just install my HID Kit on and still have BC Racing Coilover, Aluminum Kick plate, Eyelids (fiber glass) coming in (hopefully I get them all next week).

320 bux for illuminated kick plates is a bit steep...c'mon. i'd rather use that money towards led tails or a catback. If the price was say 120-150, then i would consider illuminated kick plates. Not spending 320 bux on kick plates FTW! lol

$320?!?! And I'm the loser. :p LOL

I got them at Winston Churchill, I mentioned that I got letter/coupon saying you get 10% off accessories.

So some of you got them for free, WTF?!?! LOL Honestly, didn't know about them until I read pearlwhitecoupe mentioned it.

I was supposed to get the Sway and Strut Bars but I'm saving for my 18's next Spring.

I'd love to get illuminated kickplates, but they cost too much for me. i'd rather get the stillen spoiler for less. they do look really smooth though, if i get a nice comission cheque from work then i might pony up the money for these, but probably after a few other mods first. i'm not even going to bother getting normal kickplates unless i can get the illuminated ones from doc

I agree. Although you do excellent work with those kickplates Doc, I would rather invest that in Y-Pipe (which i just ordered :D).

Maybe for $100 or 150 I would, but I know the materials probably cost that much so I guess its stock for me

I'm obviously joking about the kickplates, wish I could offer them for cheaper, but the kickplates themselves run about $70 shipped at best, then you factor in the price of the lights, power inverters, plexifgass and professional overlay install, the price adds up pretty quickly... but this is how much of a good guy I am....

i currently can make anyone illuminated kickplates for very, very, very cheap....this is a one time offer, only because I have parts leftover from someone that flaked out on me...

letters will be in white (because i have the white lights already)... kickplates are here already as well... essentially, you would be paying for the price of the power inverters, power wires, and professional overlay install.... first one to email me, get the dirt cheap price, and then paypal me lucks out... but I will NOT advertise the price on here... good luck
