Alright finally got all my stuff on. The Seats are "I cant Believe its not leather" By CalTrend, Yes its a seat cover. They look great, I ONLY did the front row for now. Also REAL leather Black & Red Stearing Wheel Cover that I stitched on took 2 hours. And my new Tenzo Type M Version 1 - 19 inch Rims. The Tires are Good Year Eagle 245/40/19 tires.

The LIGHTING IS bad on the wide shots, it doesnt show the spokes well at all.

The elephant refers to how the seats stick out like a sore thumb. It would have been nice to see some black or white inserts or trim on the seats to have a much more integrated look. I'm with them, the seats are ALL red. The steering wheel and wheels are a nice touch. Just our opinion.

Yeah the seats don't look too fitting IMO, they stand out A LOT and look rather ill-fitting (just my opinion though). The wheels on the other hand look fantastic, and would definitely look even better with a good drop. Nice A/C! :bigthumb:

oh Okay gotcha! Yeah there was two tone options so I could get black and red, but it costed like $80 more or something, I just wanted to try solid red. I see where your coming from, but I love em either way!

is there any issue with the airbags in the seats? would they just rip through the seat covers?

I don't think the seats look too terrible, not really my style overlooking the fact they are kindof loose. I think a darker red would have looked a little better IMO and maybe the loose sides wouldnt have been as noticable.

Nope, they have flaps on the side that tuck in, which will just pull out when the airbag explodes, so it doesnt rip it. heres a pic, see the rectangles on the side bottom of the seat closest to you, its litterally right next to the seat belt metal buckle thing:

Yeah, The loosness can be fixxed by pulling them down a bit more to make it tighter, the drivers seat looks loose cause I sit in it, and they are hard fitment, but you can easily get rid of the wrinkles if you pull it enough, but yeah....

No I didnt put seat covers on the back seats to save money. it was only $230 more but no one sits back there, and there no noticeable behind the small tinted back window.

The two last things I want to do but probably never will is add the Carbon Fiber AIT racing Trunk Lid that has the built in wing. AND add red leather to the Door side panels, this part:

I was quoted for $250 for both doors, but they said they have to take the whole damn door off and reconnect it, and thats a NO go for me. Id do it if they can keep the doors on.

Eh, Springs though make it to low then I will scratch the front bumper in parking spaces on the curb, and going down my steep driveway and stuff, thats why I like the height. and its more $$$ more time

Yeah but regardless of driving skills if you only have 2 inches of clearance, theres no way I can drive up my driveway without scratching the bumper. My driveway is really steep. ....(still like my seats though! :chuckle: )

I already met up with 3 other altima coupe owners in my area, they all love the rims, I asked about the dropping they said they like it how it is just fine..... Either way, its much less clearance! And more modding and money. And Ive gotten nothin but complements about the wheels so far. I think its cause you guys are all heavy modding Altima coupe owners, so its what you guys all prefer and agree on being big modding A/C fanatics that have the same type of styles interest , but All the people I know say it looks fine without a drop, Call it "4 wheel drive look", so be it, I like the "4 wheel drive look... But like PHENOMenalVinyl said:
as you said YOU LIKE THEM.....so your good.
