I got my angryfx (2005 Fx 45) about 3 month ago
Ever since I seen this car in TV advertisement I wanted it so bad.... My dream ride
An SUV with a heart of a sports car!!!

I was driving a murano B4 but I had to change my car BC My murano died on me...
So I was looking at an alternative to my suv for anything under 20k with under 60k miles
and have not even considered about getting a FX... cuz they are usually higher in price.

While i was searching i came across a silver 05 45 on the internet and went to the dealer...
and saw that "this was my car"... the interior was a bit messy dirty and leather were alittle
torn.... but still i guess it was an ok/ affordable/ just right/ priced for me/ type of deal...
two days later i went and traded my murano and got me a New / preowned Fx 45 with 46k miles
for $17k.

I first joined my first ever forum IS and got my first service at the dealer; bebbling dash warranty!!
ever since i had the car (for about three month) any day I was off was a mod day for me....
the following are the list of mods/work that i have done for my car.

-Dash warranty/ 3m stickon type brushed aluminum dash kit/ interior dome light/clock light (led blue/white)
Weather tech package(side vent, sunroof, bugdeflector)
All DIY in this section thanks to IS except bubble dash/

-accessory belt change/ power steering oil change/ transmission drain and fill/ engine oil change
(Mobil 1 EP, with Fram 6X filter), in cabin air filter, JEGS oil catch. (thanks to Chedman 13), Magnetic oil plug
Ebay type...
All DIY THanks to IS

-Brake; drilled/slotted rotors and pads fromrotor pros with red hubs. Dtrl turn signal swap (ended a mess-
my turn signal housing melted when i used the oem bulb with double filament trickTT) , Euro light blue to hide
the melted housing( ended a mess while i was drying a bird pooped on my headlight TT comeon what are the
chance of that happening.) so I had to doouble coat it which was not recommended....lower grill chrome spoilers,
Jwt intake Pop charger. KYB shock and strut all 4 corners... and an alignment. Hnr DRM 25mm all corners.
Muffler tips from NO name brand... tinted rear reflectors.
All DIY except shock and struts

-tools i bought jack set from autozone. brake tool minor hand tool ratchet set. torque wrench, hand car wash needs
buncha other stuff I can't remember...

I was take this opp to thank all the IS member and friend!! for great DIY's Write-ups, help and support.
I am 28yr old and ever since i joined this forum my pockets drained... but every week that i take off gives me
joy in thinking about another DIY... lol

thats where i cot it from carid.com
but it's not as perfect or as nice as the wraps... and the edges of the stickers are quite sharp
sharp enough to give cut if not careful... if you are a perfection type of person I wouldn't recommend it
but just to make it look alil newer definitely recommended!!!
