Installed the K&N FIPK - the car sounds amazing. I seriously never thought a V6 could sound so deep, throaty and loud before the exhaust. Definitely a great purchase. Once I finished that, I washed and detailed my baby.

Very nice! How do you mount your license plate with that bumper? I ask, because I have that front end sitting in my garage for a couple months and could see where the tag goes. Also, did paint, keep, remove the mesh grille? Thanks!

same thing happened here in montana, my seats were submerged under water but after a good stripping of the interior and a new bcm the car seems to be ok.

Gave her a nice wash inside and out! Also went to a Nissan dealership to pick up a touch-up paint pen...however the pen doesn't work . Going back tomorrow to get a new one so I can fix the humiliating chips on the hood and front bumper!

Thanks! Since it's illegal here not to have a front license plate I had to have one so it's held on by zipties onto the grill and the grill came silver but I hate the look of silver mesh so I had it painted black

driftmax NZ had a clearance one it was all bent and damaged though, it took quite a bit to make it fit and look good but I think it was worth it

True. We have good weather here in SoCal. I like to drive with my windows down instead of using the AC! If anything, I can buy a new vent and switch back
