Yesterday after a fresh wash...










Nice & Clean, put away right next to "THE BEAST" !!!!





FUTURE PLANS:

Nissan Dual Head Restraint DVD (Yeah I'm a Nissan whore )
Lower at least 2" all around to fill in the wheel gap.
(Can some one help me find some springs for our 09+ Muranos. H&R still makes them for the 1st Gen but nothing for 2nd Gen
I don't want to cut the springs or get air bags but I need to complete the look by lowering it a little)
I would love to customize a little more on the performance side but just can't seem to find any aftermarket companies here in the U.S.
I need help finding Cold Air Intake and After Market Exhaust...

Only thing I have found after hours of searching online is directly from Impul Japan, but do you see the prices?

Crazy expensive,

Here's the site for you guys to see

Nice ride man.

[turbizzy]

Looks good bro. Those Euromaxes look amazing on there. My buddy is a distributor of them thats how i recognized them. 22s look perfect on there, its gonna look killer once you lower it.

I wonder if Maxima coilovers will allow you to lower the front, rears you can prob just cut the springs.

The aero kit is very distinctive, and the wheels are a good match. Welcome to the forum.

[benhui86]

You are the first member to have the aerokit. Congradulations!

Love the rims. It would've looked dumb to have the stock 18" with the aero kit.... your rims really compliment the kit well....

Where did the hidden hitch go.... I know its suppose to be "hidden"... but not that hidden....

[Warhammer]

Very nice! I really liked the aero package on the new generation MO's. Gives it a nice sleek look without going over the edge. If I were to get a new MO, it would definitely have to be one with the aero package. Don't like what Nissan did with the front and back end of the new ones.

I, however, don't agree with lowering. I think your ride looks pimp as it is. I for one am down with just a bit of gap between the tires and wheel well. Keeps you from having your tires tilt in a bit.

BTW...how do you use your hitch with the rear bumper cover so low? Can't see the tow receiver at all. I'm assuming the rear bumper cover is covering the hitch receiver.

[BIGLex]

Good catch Warhammer & Ben,
The Hitch is not on there for now, removed it to install the rear skirt.
I originally thought I was going to have to cut into the molding of the skirt to make it fit, but I figured out a way.

Just get longer bolts & more washers to lower the position of the hitch.

I'm not pulling anything any time soon so I've been lazy putting the hitch back on

I appreciate all the good notes and comments.

I wish I could get some coilovers so that I could mess around with the height adjustment when ever I needed but we're basically screwed finding anything aftermarket for our MOs. I don't want to slam it but I do want it lower.
I've had it jammed full of people & luggage (picking up friends at the airport) & no wheel gap makes it all look complete...

Do you guys know of anything that I don't?
Any performance upgrades that I could work on?

Suggestions and tips will be taken.

[BIGLex]

Lowered looks so much better...

j/k


Maybe I should convert to American Made

[turbizzy]

Agreed with Lex. Stock sucks lol. And for the record, i love the cambered in look, makes it look agressive.

Nice ride, looks great. I have been waiting (and searching the web) for pics of the aero kit on a newer Mo in my color. I checked into it when ordering my DRLs from the dealer. You've done it exactly the way I would have done it (color of car, rims, vent shades etc...). I would just be carrying over the DRLs and stainless steel grill inserts too, if possible.
Couple of questions:
1. Did you add the lower chrome strip to the front skirt or did it come that way?

2. Do you think the opening in the lower grill area is the same shape and size as the original? I ask because I would like to put my grill insert into that area if I replaced the lower section with the aero kit. It might fit upside down in the same area. I know the fog light area is a different shape so that would not transfer over. Pics in the gallery.

3. I can't tell from the pics, but do the side skirts delete the chrome strip along the lower side rails of the car?

4. Are your jack up points different with the new side skirts?

PS... Is your bike the same color as the MO?

Yes, Chrome is part of the Bumper...
That's right I said bumper
The stock bumper is removed completely, so if you have a few rock chips on your stock bumper, get ready to have a brand new front end

2. Do you think the opening in the lower grill area is the same shape and size as the original?

No, the new opening is much bigger then the stock

3. I can't tell from the pics, but do the side skirts delete the chrome strip along the lower side rails of the car?

Yes, you take them off completely & straight to the trash... In order to remove them you have to break them so no use for them after

4. Are your jack up points different with the new side skirts?

Good question, I haven't checked, but I doubt anything changes because your supposed to jack it up inside by the frame of the body not the exact side molding

PS... Is your bike the same color as the MO?

Funny thing is my previous car was White (G37s) and I got the bike before the MO' so when I got the MO' I was shocked of how close the color is





Pulling the 9 to Daytona Bike Week...

Still haven't put it on but It will be up for sure...
I'm gonna go the Flowmaster 80 & I'm thinking of also getting the Flowmaster Resonator to give it a deeper rumble.

I might put on some 4" tips like the FX50 or Nismo 370z.

Pics & Videos will be up as soon as I do it...

BTW, Aero Kit on a 2011???
I didn't know they made an Aero Kit for the newer muranos.
What does it look like? Because you can't find it on the Nissan.com site as an option.

[marcimark]

Great looking car!

The Impul web site offers everything you are after. Exhaust, throttle body, performance computer and so on.
Not cheap, but most probably of great quality.

Have you had a look at the Elgrand? I want one!!!!

[Bumper]

BigLex, Are the racial slurs necessary...not cool!!
