SERs are fun. My ex had a 96 SER Coupe with the 2.0.
I say a cai...so it makes the sucking noise...NO FART CAN THO...tint and some foglights. the SER spoiler if it does not have one.
MISS POPO also had a 1998 sentra sedan... That thing was unstoppable. Nissan made a great car with those.

I did tint already, need to re do it though...still learning haha. I want an exhaust but nothing fart can sounding, I know I want to swap the header as well since they are a problem area for the car, I was trying to look for a good CAI, but all the ones I see seem to go right to the factory spot, just with a cone filter.....make no sense. It has the spoiler as well. I was thinking about a tasteful lip/skirt kit. Kind of like the attached pic without the decal and NISMO everywhere haha. Possibly wheels, if i dont just paint the ones I have and lower it a bit

Dont know if this fits your taste just my ideas but you could black plasti dip the emblems and wheels , HIDs, eyebrow across front windshield, red led interior lights , maybe spray a light tint on the tail lights and third brake light. You could do all that pretty cheap and really change the look of your car if it fits your taste

I have a DGS 4-2-1 header and a Nismo cat back exhaust on my Spec-v. It sounds fantastic for a ricer, no Honda fart can sound. Although I don't really drive it anymore since my son got his license.

I painted the grill and insert around the license plate today, not too fond of the back, but it killed some time today and will do until I get my stuff for CF wrapping. I plan to do the hood and trunk CF wrap, just something to give it some character and doesnt cost me a fortune

They are crazy expensive, I caught some dumb luck with my exhaust. I was browsing Craigslist one day and saw the whole system for $300. It was only on Craigslist for like two hours, had my son run over immediately and offered him $250 cash. Oh yeah!

I wonder if the company was bought out or I'm having a senior moment I can't find it either. I will have to look at the badge on the header. This is exactly what it looks like. http://www.dcsports.com/4-2-1header1/NHR4202_Nissan.html#.U2u8J0rD91s

I was thinking about doing a red pinstripe around the bottom of the grill, but that might look alittle GTi-ish....not that I care about purists haha. This is going to be just a fun project where I do what I want. The firebird is my serious project
