English please? haha

As far as I know there's not much so far, they're might be a cold air intake somewhere, but nothing that'd I'd put on my car.

K&N just came out with an air filter within the last couple months for the 2.0's.
There is also no catback that I know of. Again, worth putting on our car.

So, speed wise, performance wise, nothing really.

heheheh... sorry... my english is really bad!!!

I disagree, there are several mods available. Weapon-R has a short ram intake, Stillen has a catback and a CAI. I think BRM also has an exhaust, but its not on the web site. Also Eibach and H&R both have lowering springs.

I have a 2007 2.0 and I have the Weapon-R and Eibach springs installed and I love them. Its debatable if the Weapon-R actually provides any real performance gains, but it feels like it and it sure sounds good. I'd like an exhaust, but I can't justify the cost. I'm thinking of getting just a new muffler for the sound not the performance. Nobody has any performance data yet on the catbacks, but I don't think its going to add much. We'll have to wait and see if any mods are really going to help the MR20DE.

there is a turbo kit out there for the 2.5 Spec V/SE-R and I am sure with some minor tweaks it would fit the 2.0.

I stand somewhat corrected, haha

I did check out Stillen last night. Seems like a fairly reputable company, etc. etc. Sorry, I'm used to V8 power and such since I owned Mustang GT's.

Still the two intakes they listed were OVER $300!!! Outrageous.

The catback was $550+!! Crazy! And the look and design of it looks like it's going to sound very "rice" with a fart can on the end imho.
That's the main reason why I don't feel they're are real good performance parts out yet. I'd muchhhhhhhh rather get a K&N filter for $40 than spend $300+ for an intake that probably isn't going to do anything.

One other thing, I feel that an "exhaust system" like Stillen would sound very very silly with a CVT transmission.

As far as lowering springs, of course they're out, I knew that, but I don't consider them performance (power wise of course).

Still did offer a fairly attractive rear spoiler though. Somewhat similar to the SE-R but with out the third brake light. Almost tempting.... almost.

I just installed the oem spoiler from nissan on my 2.0...definitely "finishes" off the rear end in my opinion. I've never been one to particularly like the new generation maxima, but the spoiler on that does a world of difference as well. And they're cheap too!

Can you post some pics? I saw LuVThis07Sentra's pics of the aftermarket spoiler and want to see if it's the same as the OEM spoiler. Any idea what material the OEM spoiler is made out of? Thanks.

[maxima8347]

It actually looks quite different. I'll try to post some pictures in the next few days!

[gforever]

Oh please post pics of the OEM spoiler. I really want to add a spoiler but I want to compare it with the aftermarket one. Since I'm going to have someone install it for me, I would like to see if the OEM spoiler will justify the extra cost. Thanks.

The OEM spoiler on the Sentra is the lip spoiler, not the SE-R spoiler. The lip spoiler really isn't a "spoiler," but does give the trunk a little more character. Just making sure there is no confusion.

[maxima8347]

Here's pics of the trunklid spoiler. I got it from mynissanparts.com for around 150 (that included shipping and painting). Comes with everything you need to install it, except for the tools (instructions included). It's made from ABS plastic.

[BlackSentra07]

That's the OEM lip spoiler I was thinking of, looks good!

I didn't realize how deep it was on the trunk. Looks to be a good 5-6"'s. I like it!

EDIT: Just checked mynissanparts and it's on sale for $125.99 right now!

Thanks for the pics maxima8347. Oh ok so it is the regular accessory lip spoiler for the Sentra. I prefer the SE-R Spoiler since it is larger and has the the 3rd Brake light. So far it seems that only LuvThisSentra07 has installed a SE-R spoiler on a non-SE-R Sentra. LuvThisSentra07, will you remove the original third brake light or just leave it on there? I really want to add one on mines but will probably wait until the weather warms up a bit.
