Hello everyone,

I just picked up a 2007 Versa hatchback in Black with 60k miles on it. I purchased this car as a daily driver since my other Nissan is going to be a weekend only car from now on. My car came with pretty much all the standard features except I have the keyless starter which is a nice touch. Car came with tinted windows and the only mods I plan on doing are to install navigation and to put better quality speakers in the car. Hopefully I won't try to modify this car because I already spend too much on my 350z. :D

Here is a pic of the car of the Versa:

Welcome!

Did you powder coat your Z rims, or did you buy them in that color?

Did you do the turbo work yourself, or did you have a shop do it? With all the other custom work involved, I'm guessing you go to a performance auto shop to have work done.

A shop did, I don't really have a space where I can work on my car for long periods of time. I live in an apartment.

well i still had to buy a bunch of stuff for it so its going to be quite a bit more. Metra dash kit, wiring harness, antenna harness, xm radio module and connector, and I may get the HD Radio module I haven't decided. Its going to be a pain trying to find a place to jam all this stuff.
