Current and Future NX owners - modifications
Anyone planning on adding any modifications once they get their hands on an NX? If so what? I'd love to throw some springs on mine, i think a nice subtle drop would do wonders on the stance of the NX.

Not sure yet if I'll get the RSR springs, coilovers, or none at all, but I do have some minor mods in the works 
...build thread soon...

Yeah I've seen those RS-R springs and drop is nice! Springs and for sure window tint are my first couple. But yes keep us updated corrado would love to see what you do and what others do.

Honest question....WHY...would one lower a SUV?
The purpose is ride height and utility. You're now removing the ride height portion for "stance". When I think of stance, I think of a performance car or muscle car sitting on 12.5" rear drag radials in which when you look under all you see is rubber.

MR2 did it great with the new wheels he put on. That is how you create a look. A slightly taller diameter with a slightly wider piece of rubber. Making an SUV sit lower, just looks....ugh.
This is Stance:

glovebox table.
After a road trip to NC from GA in a mini-van. Much of which I was on the computer... I decided I amy try to build a custom laptop table that pulls out of the glove box. It would be stored away when blox was closed and you would have the choice to pull it out when glove box was open.
I may try to make a peltier cooler to hold a few drinks for road trips as well. (have not decided where to locate the cooler yet).

first "mods" planned upon delivery:
- gloss black vinyl wrap on roof.
- 32% tint side/rear windows, 50% windshield.
- paint protection film on full hood and front bumper.
- LED bulb conversion for interior lighting.
Future mods:
- new rims/tires
- slight drop (just enough to reduce fender/wheel gap)
