  New Member: Check Out My Sentra


Sup peoples.

New to the forum here. Had my 07 Sentra since November, but barely started doing mods to it about 2/3 months ago. I've changed all the interior lighting to Blue except the map lights which are Xenon White (Helps me see better). Headlights and taillights are both tinted. Added Enkei Rims. HID's on the headlights and Xenon Whites for Parking lights. Added the Sentra Se-r Spoiler. Also removed the "Sentra 2.0S" and repainted letters black and red. Ummm... and like a couple of other things.

Check it out. Here are some pix:

By the way, I'm lookin' to MAYBE get the Stillen Exhaust for my car. Any idea if its worth it or not?

Wow looks awesome! For a min, I really thought it was an SE-R! haha Love the black and red lettering. How did you setup the interior lighting? Did you just replace bulbs or did you need to install an entire kit? What do you mean by map lights?

All I did was buy some T15 type LED bulbs and replace the stock bulbs. I didn't install any kits. The T15 bulbs can be used almost anywhere in the Sentra. The Glove Box, the Parking Lights, the license plate lights, the Trunk Lights, the Map lights.

The Map lights are the front two lights right above the radio and the shifter. There are two bulbs in the map lights. Be careful though! There are two silver housing thingys surrounding the two bulbs and can be broken very easily if not handled with care. It's really hard to take off the lights if you don't remove the silver housing thingys.

The only light that was different was the Dome light (the light that turns on when you open one of the doors) which uses one D31mm type bulb.

The best place to find the lights are on Ebay.

I also changed the pedals to racing pedals. That took a little more work but it was fairly easy. It looks really cool when the blue reflects off of the pedals. Especially at night.

I also ordered some Halo Foglights for my car. They should be on by this Tuesday. I'm pretty sure they'll look pretty sweet. I'll post some pix when I have them installed.

Nice! Thanks for the bulb types, I've found them on eBay and I'll probably upgrade my dome lights as I feel the stock dome lights are not bright enough.

For the glove lights, I noticed that only works when the headlights are on. Do you know if there's a way to make them turn on when the glove box is open?

I look forward to see the fog lights installed. By the way, did you take off the stock antennae? If so, does it degrade the quality of regular radio? Did you cover up the open gold spot?

As for the glove box, I'm not too sure. I don't really know.

Yeah, I did remove the stock antennae. I didn't like the way it would stick up in the middle. Looked kinda funny. I think it looks much better without it on (Looks like a little shark fin, lol). So far, I have had NO problems listening to the radio. The quality sounds the same to me, but the thing is, I rarely listen to the radio. I love the aux. port and I'm constantly using it. No, I didn't cover up the gold spot.

My car is currently in the shop right now and it should be done by later this afternoon. I can't wait! I'll post up the pics as soon as it's finished!

Okay, so it's probably going to be about another week-two weeks before my fog lights are installed.

I took my car to some technicians to have the fogs installed. When they were checking out the fog lights, one of the techs dropped one of the fog lights and it shattered.

Arrrghhh!! Now I have to wait for them to re-order the fog lights and I'm sure they are going to poke ***. They said they were going to pay for it though...

Well, even though the fog light was cracked, it still worked and I have to say, I am really pleased with them.

Here are a couple of pix of the finished fog lights:

They are Halo Foglights and cost about 50 bucks. Really good price and are really good foglights.

For installation, it just depends on where you go.

All you got to do is twist the antennae clockwise and it'll come off. I didn't notice any difference in radio quality but then again, I was only on 1 station. I'm trying to find some black nob I can cover up the spot so the antennae won't rust due to the rain, pollen, & stuff that gets in.

Anyways, there is a functional shark fin antennae on eBay but I don't feel like spending $81 bucks for it.....

I already ordered the drop kit for my car. It should already be at my house by the time I get back from Vegas.

I'll have them installed by next week.

I currently have the 16" rims on right now. I do have a set of 17" and 18" rims and tires but I haven't had a chance to put either of them on right now.

To be honest, I don't think I will put the 17" or the 18" rims and tires on this car. In November, I'm going to trade in my Sentra for a Nismo Z. I will miss this car though!

Just use a flathead screwdriver and remove the plastic covering.

Under the maplights there are these silver housing thingys surrounding the bulb.

They can be somewhat difficult to remove. Be careful cause they are kinda cheap and will break easily. My friend broke his off. You don't need the silver housing thingys though so you can just make things easier and break them off.

EDIT: I also added a couple of more pix in my previous post. One of the pix is my front left fender. When I got back from Vegas I noticed all the decals on my car were scratched off and the whole left side of my car was keyed. It looks so awful (Just imagine all the scratches that you see on the fender, all over the rest of the left side of the car). I'm going to have to get a new paint job for the whole left side of my car... D:

For the parking lights, I ordered the JDM lights.

Here is the link:

These WILL work for your parking lights. I bought these exact ones and they fit perfectly. I've yet to have any problems with them. They work really well.

Hey NicholaiGinovaef. Your car looks GREAT!!! Sorry if this is a redundant question. But, Where did you get the blacked-out headlights and taillights? I've been searching the web for them but can't find any for the "07 Sentras.

You can find them on Ebay/Ebay Motors.

You can do it yourself, but I would recommend having it done by someone with tinting experience. If you've never done tinting, it's going to be really annoying.

There is also a Graphix place here in town where I live where they tint your lights.
