Hey.
I recently purchased a 2000 Infinit QX4, and I'm wanting to do a little work to it to improve it's looks, but I'm not sure where to start or where to even go for the products.
One major thing I would like to do is lift it a couple inches. I have gone to several body shops, and they have quoted me $1200+ to do a proper lift job, but I was wondering if there is a way to just use like Air Suspencion or something similar that would be much cheaper. Money is a huge factor for me, I don't have a ton of it to spend, so the cheaper the better.
Also, I'm looking into getting a cheap paint job. I have contacted Maaco and they said I can get a paint job through them for roughly $300, now I know the pros and cons. The paint will probably only last for a year, but is it worth it, or do you have any better suggestions?
Also, I am looking into getting either some 18" or 20" wheels, preferrably black with a polished lip. Does anybody know of a cheap place to buy wheels and tires.
HID Headlights are always nice. I have purchased a kit on ebay for $50 in the past, and I also purchased a kit through a private site for $90, neither were any good. I'm looking for a 6000K kit, that produces a LOT of light, like a huge improvement over the Silverstar Ultra bulbs you can get at Walmart. Also, I would like to put in some 10000K Fog lights, not Kits, just Xenon or HIDs.
Another thing is the support bar underneath my running board has completely rusted out, so when you stand on the running board, it's basicaly the plastic that's holding you up, does anybody have any quick fix ideas for that?
And finally, exhaust. I would like to get a dual exhaust kit, or even just something really basic. Like even taking it to a muffler shop and having them run another pipe to the left side of the car. I want the dual exhaust look, and I would enjoy the sound, but that's not necessary, I mainly am going for the look.
An answer to any of the above questions would be helpful. Sorry it's so much at one time, but I have done so much research on my own, and come up with nothing, that I'm pretty much using you guys as a last resort, even though I probably should have come here to start with. Thanks again!
