Which would you buy?

(LETS PRETEND NOBODY HAS THIS YET BUT YOU WANT TO GET IT)


1. Cold Air Intake?
2. IPCW L.E.D TAIL-LIGHTS?

I am not a fan of could air intakes..... You loose low end torque for a few extra horses that you can't even use unless you are on the track. Also, I use the stock air filter and change em out every 4 months...I am not a fan of those high flow oil filters. If more air is getting in your engine, then more crap is getting in as well.

So, I guess I am voting for the LED tail lights.

Nismo, Fujita is a one piece. Nismo is two piece and you have the option of making it a shorter (during the winter and in april). I have it made shorter since there are big potholes filled with puddles around here, But once it warms up and starts raining less Im gonna go back to CAI

I say IPC Tails. You own a Maxima and has more than average power anyway. I'm more intersted in working the suspension more. Like KYB Struts,Endlinks and a better anti roll bar. Whats more power if the boat is going to float !

LOL, Window tint!!!































Then Injen CAI and a Trenz grill!!! It took another 6-8 months for some more mods to finally come available which were mostly from Stillen.
Bought my 6th Gen in Aug of 2003 with 9 miles on her...

Well, if you have the $, spring for the Nismo with the bypass valve. But if you are trying to save some change, and aren't worried about submerging your intake in a ton of water, Fujita all the way...

Ease of installation and less parts=Fujita. If you are into moddin' it doesn't really matter which one you do first. Like Oolatec said, you will eventually end up doing both and more.

Tint, CAI, Rims, Tails, Grill, Audio, Exhaust, Suspension, and other mods is the route I took. It's an addiction once you start you cannot stop I'm sure that 99% of 6th gen owners in this forum has done or will do the same, just in different order.
