Looking for ideas to "spice up" my interior

Well, as I kind of look towards more of the interior of the car as I have pretty much got where I want with the exterior (except for the possibility of a stillen kit) and so I was looking for suggestions for the interior. Everything is stock pretty much other then the sound system and an FM modulator. Maybe some things to make the inside more comfortable or something, nothing too flashy but things that you all have enjoyed in your interior

Also, any web links to sites you have used for interior mods are welcome

Oh yeah, I can't remember if you were the one who told me about the leds in the license plates lights, but I did them and am very happy so thanks! I'll post pics after I finish tinting the front corners. I did the back, but ran out of vht

The best thing I did was change all the LED's inside the car. Change the gauge cluster bulbs, change the LEDs in the window switches and in the AC. Make sure it all matches tho and don't use a tacky color that is too bright unless you like that sort of thing

Me too... Me too...

I am looking for LED bulbs for a few things in my interior too, but i am having a hard time locating the model numbers... I have looked up almost every lighting application guide, but still no help. When i call or go to a Nissan dealer, they just give me an internal part number... no help!!!
can anyone else help???

These are the ones i'm looking for...
1) ashtray light
2) glovebox light
3) sunvisor/vanity mirror lights
4) front map lights (not the dome... already got that one)
5) instrument cluster/dash lights & how many are there???

HELP!!!

The Titanium Edition for '03 has special door sills, among a few other things. Where can I find these for purchase, as well as the shinier rims?

Truax SFCs.

Yeah, I know you said interior.

SFCs will eliminate all of those stupid annoying rattles and noises in your interior every time you hit a bump. That qualifies as a significant interior upgrade to me, even though you can't SEE it from inside the car.
