I bought my "96 "bare bones" GXE-5 Maxima on December 31st, 1999. It had 42k miles on it and I got it for $10,988. My first mod was clear corners, then I installed a SMX grill, an SE bumper cover, and a set of 17" Konig GTR's.
Then, I installed a set of Ground Control coil-overs, and slammed it.
Next, I installed hyperwhite light up front, and made custom mesh grill inserts.
After that, I installed a system.
