man they really toned down the looks after 03, regular looking interior (the red one was gross anyways), and the less chiseled front bumper. I always thought they were all the same. BTW: how the F did you take those pictures at the airport without getting beat down by homeland security? lol ---

red interior FTW…btw that was only on 02s bolt on mods dont really do well on these cars…ur biggest gain will be in a tune and header…they run fairly rich from the factory…more rich than most…one guy gain 19hp and 14 ft lbs on a SAFC tune alone…header will help…the rest are minimal gains but will add up…crank pullies and such…lightweight flywheel is a nice change…revs a whole lot quicker… [wrptechnology.com](http://wrptechnology.com) has some nice parts…Crowler just came out with some nice cams too which i might pick up…any questions feel free to PM me ---

awesome glad to know your on top of things lol. an easy $20 mod if you wanna do it is motor mount inserts to cut down alot on wheel hop. safc is cake to install, i have no idea about tuning tho so i jsut go to mike at innovative lol. but the install itself is less than an hour ---

Hot shot will be hard to find…XS package seems to be popular and relatively inexpensive for a a header set up…as far as SAFC…it will lean it out a bit. BF screws the dealer wont even know you did them…the balance shafts are a good idea…they like to start to tear themselves apart past 6k rpms…so if ua re going to rev it out a lot u might want to think about it…JWT makes a removal kit…or just cut the chain to them…i am ckilger12 on [myspecv.com](http://myspecv.com) ---

W00t another SpecV in the Buffalo Area. Get a header. Nissan can’t void a warranty because of aftermarket parts. THEY have to prove that the aftermarket part caused the problem. Not the other way around. Yea the looks on the 06 definately got dulled up but you can make them look pretty decent. ---
