Hi Everyone, Well this is my first thread, I'm familiar with auto forums as I just sold my 02 Nissan Maxima SE and was a member of the maxima.org:



to buy this little beauty (more pics in my gallery):


As you can see it has a fair number of mods already on it, so that saved me a few dollars as I did all the mods on my Maxima, but there are a few more things I'd like to add so I was wondering if this Newbie could get a little help?

1) I'm interested in getting a pair of Driving lights so I was wondering if anyone had bought these particular one's also any mounting issues?

2) Also on ebay has anyone gone with this strut bar? Impressions?

3) and this arm rest? Does it interfere with the ebrake at all?

I'm looking for one that has some storage features. thanks in advance

 

Welcome!

Beautiful color and looks like SSRs. NIce

1. IMHO, Stay away from Ebay. Fogs go LOW on the grille, not High where driving lights are. While Hamann is well known, your better off looking at Hella or maybe PIAA. Check out the vendors, many sell kits like MOSS for the grill or Alta or outmotoring for the lower grille. Check the lighting forum, there are many threads on how to do driving lights or fog lights.
2. Bling and crap. Stay far away. GO to a respectable MINI tuner like M7
3. Never seen that one before but in general, I would stay far away from Ebay, Check out Moss, Minimania or any of the other NAM vendors for armrests

Best of luck in your new car!

 

Thanks very much for the quick reply, I'll definitely check out some of the NAM vendors, but to be honest I've had a lot of success with ebay, thanks again.

 

We have all the M7 and Alta parts instock.
M7 Tower Strut Brace, or if you prefer, SRP Plates.
Also the factory arm rest,
and a set of PIAA driving lights

Thanks Brad, when do you expect your website to be up and running?

 

Steve (SRTech) is working on it as we speek. He said the M7 part should be up today.
I just returned from M7 picking up more parts, including the new
Air Plate Diverter
