Default Defected Brotha, lookin for some advice!

What's up guys. I just recently bough an 05 Nissan Murano, and the community for them SUCKS as far as mods are concerned. From my time over here, you guys really know what you're doing. I want to try and bring some of that flavor to the Murano community, mainly in a mild-VIP or EXE sort of build.

Now- before you jump all over me, I KNOW, the murano is not really a VIP vehicle...and I accept that it probably never will be. I just want to bring in the theme because I think it'd be a cool change from the typical 'leave it stock and mess with stereo and lighting' or 'let me just throw some 24's on that *****' mentality that the other owners have.

First question: What should I consider adding beyond pillows, neckpads, and curtains (potentially a fusa for shows) to help out with the look in the interior? The interior color is a light tan (cafe latte for you nissan guys).

Second question: I'm having trouble sourcing the stuff I want. I prefer to go all JP if possible. Where do you guys get all your stuff? I'd rather not buy direct from JP because..well...its freakin expensive and I know other people can get deals.

Thanks in advance!

With all due respect, this is a Lexus forum. Although there is a VIP sub category on here, it was intended for Lexus owners only. Please check out vipstylecars.com

lol come on man. read my original post. I'm aware this is a lexus forum, I've been on here almost as long as you have. Not to mention you drive an infiniti yourself your car is definitely dope though and the interior is exemplary of what I want to try and achieve in my truck.


I'm just looking mainly for the places that people are securing their VIP items, as I've been out of the loop for a while and cant find any retailers. I'm also looking for some input on what (if any) items I should add beyond the usual to help bring out the theme if anyone has any input.

if there air suspension available for the car ?


Next look at some nice flat face style wheels for the ride.

then the little things will fall into place.

also if a kit is available

I'd ask memoryfab, autofashionusa.com or jdmpalace and Mr mark CL vendor those are my sources i used when i was looking for ideas or google.
