So since the last thread stir up alot of conversations and posts I took the liberty of posting another thread, I dont mean to be obnoxious by the title but I think I've done a pretty good job so far of making my altima 'clean' I added a couple more mods like LBC's overlays and the Racingline Footwell LED kit. and I think the next two things on my list are the side skirts (stillen) and y-pipe/bullydog tuner (not sure which one yet)
Anyways Enjoy and comments good or bad are welcome :biggrin:

(yea I added the burger back cause I felt like the front was a little plain, it might defeat the purpose of changing the grill if I'm just going to put the burger back on, but I like it and yes I know the cars not a nismo lol)

Yup looks pretty good. The wheels/tires are just the right size and the wing isn't the same old G35 rip off.

The only thing I have issue with, and it's just in general, not your car, is the headlight overlays. Though in your case it doesn't look bad, they never quite look "natural" on the car, and I think the reason is because they look like, well, stickers, on the headlights, instead of perhaps giving the illusion that the headlight is actually shaped a certain way. I think if the overlays had a dark outline on the edge covering the headlight, it would possibly give it the look that the area is actually a structural gap and look more.. real?

Clean car though.
:D

you have a very nice DS coupe, but i don't think i'd put yours into the category of "clean". it's a little too "busy" for me to be called clean. it's still badged, has the extra nismo badge on the front and a few too many spoilers going. with the sunroof tilted it almost looks like you have 3 spoilers going. but otherwise it looks very sleek, very nice mods and not over the top. i like that you put the burger in the front, i agree that it looks kinda naked without the badge in the front

good lookin D/S! I would personally take off the eyelids, I think that's an unnecessary mod but if u and others like 'em that's fine. Will look better once u get the side-skirts, might as well get the rear rockers. Good job nonetheless

looking good :dblthumb: I'm one of the few who like the burger on the mesh grill and I was probably the first to do it... but as for constructive criticism, the burger and Nismo signs dont go together in my opinion.... looks a little too busy. I would go with just one (the burger being the better choice in my opinion). the spoilers, the roof one isnt too bad but the one on the trunk goes a little too high for my tastes. other then that it's a really good looking car :fistpumping:

rear rockers/corners are a waist of money dont buy them they add nothing of value to the look of your car. Get the rear ED!!!! On the contrary I like the Nismo instead of the burger :biggrin:

thats why I want the AIT side skirts and something like the end caps "bodykits.com had". most people havent seen those end caps though.... i like the stock back bumper with my quad tips and especially after I add the 2 fins I cut off on the rear diffuser

Op, I like everything except the rear wing/roof spoiler combo... I like the roof spoiler alone, but rear wings are aa matter of opinion, and I personally don't think any of them look good on the A/C accept the Stillen one

but your wheels are classics... don't ever sell em! Very hard to come by these days!

All in all, just remember to keep doing your mods for YOU and not for NICO... that's all that matters... C.O.L.O.U.R.S.

Keep in mind that any mod you add to your car technically makes it "Nismo" since it's anything Aftermarket performance. Although it does help if you have a Nismo exhaust. :P

Yeah. The burger completely hides the hideous brace behind the mesh, which is what keeps me from ever wanting one. I definitely think that first, dead-on view you had was really nice and really clean. Keep up the good work.

it's also because he painted it and his radiator. so if you ever get one, thats one way to help lessen the look of the support bar.

but then it looks too plain lol but I've never been a fan of people painting their emblems black. leave it alone or take it off but dont paint it! looks horrible to me, like something is out of place.

Coupes looking good bro... honestly i was debating over the eyelids also, but they look nice on yours... and your eibach drop with the tires size looks really good... im thinking of getting tires with more meat on them so i could fill up my wheel gap also

as for the wing i personally dont see anything wrong with the imitation g wings... but to each is own...

Dude! That's a nice look. My first choice was a Dark Slate 6SPD...looked countrywide before I settled on my black baby...

I checked out your pix and I just installed the same aftermarket spoiler about :30 minutes ago!

Was your install kinduva b****?
