Need Mod Ideas

I had my Stillen intakes, sways and exhaust as a dealer installed accessory before I even picked up the car. Not mods either then? No Z comes from the factory

I was under the impression the illuminated kick plates were factory installed in Japan and not dealer installed since that's what it says on the Nissan website.

The one to make room for superchargers and stuff? If so, the engine stuff is probably out of my league.

No, it's putting washers on the exhaust bolts to make it sound like you've got an exhaust system. He was ******* with you.

Upgraded stock Bose system with JL system and Woofer
Plasti Dipped the whole car and wheels (well, this is the only thing I had a shop do)

I have looked at over 50 pages in the mods sections on the forum, but nothing has really grabbed me as a "must do"

Not worried about switching lighting over to LED's etc...

I know this may seem like a lame post, but I love doing mod's but just can't find anything that "wow's" me.

I'm not a hands on guy when it comes to engine or under the car, so electrical and interior/exterior mods are what it boils down to.

HELP ME FOLKS !!! I need to tinker....
washer mod and red-etape for that nismo look.

Oh man, now you got me. I've researched doing this, but it looks very tedious and requires a very steady hand. Is it as bad as I imagine?
