New Maxima Owner.....

[lasoski311]

On Saturday, i bought myself a 2008 Nissan Maxima SE. I'm thinking about making some modifications, nothing major, but i cant seem to find a good website to buy stuff at.

Can anyone help me out?

thanks a lot for the help....ill take a look at these sites later on today.

[lasoski311]

Does anyone have suggestions on what i should upgrade?

[blueis300]

Depends if you want looks or performance or both. Most people hate the gap in the front wheel well and do some thing there. Maybe a simple intake. Could always just go looks and do tint,spoiler, the rings that go around you lights, grill. Many options to look at.

What can be done to the front wheel well?

If i decide to get an intake, which brand and model do u suggest?

Ill prolly get tint and rims, but i like the stock spoiler and grill.

Also, what do you think would be the best size for rims, i dont really want go crazy with 22s or anything like that.....im thinking either 19 or 20s.

Ive looked online and have seen a lot of options, i really excited to spend some money haha.

You would have to lower the car to get rid of the gap. I had the fujita intake and liked it but there is also the nismo. I have 20" rims and they can be a little rough at times. Depends on what your used too. If I had to do it again I would do 19".

Thanks, one other thing....do u know anything about car audio?

I know a pretty good amount about car audio but i was wondering whether its possible to make a kick *** system using the stock stereo. i want to get a pretty nice system but i dont want to replace the stereo thats in there now.

[lasoski311]

Will this Intake System work? It says 2005-2006 Maxima, so will it work on a 2008?

im not necessarily going to buy it from this place....i would look around for the best price.

Yeah, it should still work on the '07 and '08. Nothing changed in the engine bay.

congrats on the purchase...

Most people start with intake and exhaust...you can get the short ram air intake (which are very effective and a lot less money), check out http://www.cattman.com...

the catback will give you a lot more sound over stock, i noticed a little bit of power increase on my 02, you might see different gains with your car since the exhaust system is different...

Tint was the first thing i did to my car, its not worth getting cheap tint either, spend the $250-$350 and get the best you can put on the first time

If you want to take care of the wheelgap, I would get a set of Eibach lowering springs (or whatever brand u want), and personally I wouldnt go any larger then 19"-20" rims, good tires will get expensive at that size...

Intake: $150-$250Exhaust: $750ish and figure about $75 to shipPulley: $200 with beltHeaders+Ypipe: $850ish + shippingSprings: $250ish

almost $2k for exhaust...you got ripped off. there's no noticeable gains from pulley replacement - not hating, just stating the obvious.

[2K2WhiteMaxSE]

I didnt say thats what I paid for the exhaust did I?

I paid $600 + tax+shipping for the cb, prob $800ish for the headers +ypipe and another $200 for the cat, all straight from Cattman...his car has 2 mufflers mine does not, therefore his exhaust will cost more...

So you actually did the pulley on your car and didnt notice anything???
