| 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE |
|
|
| I currently own a 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE. This is my first "NEW" car but not my first Sentra and I went back and bought a second one for a reason. My first one '94' was the most reliable car I have ever owned. I bought it used with 7000 miles drove it very hard and very often for 7 years. When totaled at 170000 miles it was a true loss. It started 'Every Time' and 'Anytime'. I have driven it as much as 16 hours straight and it was always ready for more. I have driven it in every weather condition and it had always performed very well. Over the years all I had to do was replace the clutch and the CV Joints. I thought that was good considering that I drove it hard and put it up wet more than once. So when I had the opportunity to buy a new car I went back to Nissan and drove this one off the show room floor. It has all the Necessary’s 5-Speed power windows and locks, cruse control. |

I have been slowly working on making this car a "One Of A Kind". |  |
|
I will not have a
lot of decals on my car but there are a few that I think are ok.

I put my web page on my car since my car is on my page. Shoot it's free advertising. |
| I am trying to do an as professional job on this car as I can and I keep looking at web sites on car modifications. I look at just about every car show page that I can find trying to find the newest and coolest ideas for my car. I even have this car on one of the more popular sites "Car Domain.com". Here is the link directly to my page at Car Domain.com/Ziggum where you can see a more detailed step-by-step process of the things I have done so far. My car is an every day drive to work, run errands and so on but I also would like it to be a semi-show car as well and when I get some more things done I am considering putting it in one of the local car club shows. I have a lot of work to do to it before then but I am up to the challenge. |
| Here are some of the modifications that I have done so far. |
 |
 |
The stock mud flaps were turning gray after a while so I took them off and cleaned them up and painted them black again. |
 |
|
I took the factory ac/heat knobs off and painted them black because the stock color showed dirt real well and just did not like how they looked. |
|
|
I put in these blue pedals. They glow real nice at night. | |
 |
|
I have now installed neon lights under the front seats. First I started by removing the seat and making two [_] u shaped cuts in the carpet rolling and tucking it under. |
 |
|
Then glued two pieces of plastic to the body with epoxy. Then applied industrial Velcro and ran the wires under the carpet toward the center console. |
 |
 |
Finally now that the epoxy had set-up. I placed the light in, finished tucking carpet around, connect the wiring and of course test it out. Lastly remounted the seats. |
 |
I got the new indiglo gauges face plates. A fairly cheap and easy mod that I think looks really cool. Here is the old gauges just before I installed the new ones. |
 |
These are the three pieces that I had to remove to get to the face plates. |
 |
Here is what they look like during the day. |
 |
Here is what they look like at night. |
 |
Here is what my car looks like at night all lit up. |
 |
I made this switch panel in the coin pocket. It has a four button touch pad and four toggle switches. I of course have to be able to control all the new lights. | |
 |
 |
I added window vents by ventguard. They make it real nice in the summer to be able to leave your windows cracked and not worry about rain. |
