Guys,

I am making my own body kit for the 2008 Altima Coupe and it is going to be ready to buy the first of the year. The full kit should be under $899 for the Front Bumper, Side Skirts, Rear pieces.

Remember folks, these are pictures of the development stages and gives you a good idea of the style of the kit. That is what I am showing here, not a final product piece.

Looks like a G35 front bumper. Good luck with it. Fabbing your own pieces is quite an ordeal, I've been through it.

I would assume that this is not meant for fogs, although they may just shine out from behind those corner vents.

They are still in completely different classes. Don't think there would've been much overlap even if the A/C were RWD.

This is true Shift, but you must understand, a RWD A/C is almost essentially the same vehicle as the old G35... the G37 is a different animal than the G35... in terms of power, etc, IMHO, it would have been horrible marketing to allow the 3.5SE A/C w/ prem. pack, and tech pack. to exist during the same time as a new model G35... to offer close to the same car in a FRD and RWD platform is just bad business... hence the upgrade of the G37 to a 330 hp monster in a new competitive class. I think they thought this over for a while and, from a production standpoint, thought it best NOT to change over the entire Altima platform to RWD.

1080i? why isn't the Wii 1080P?!!!!

lol they should have made two Wiis, one low end model with 480p only and the other high end one with a renderer capable of outputing 1080p. Problem solved!

Normal people would get te 480p, since they don't even know what the hell the difference is bettwen s-video, component cables, composite cables, hdmi or dvi.

hard core gamers like me would have gotten the 1080p version and gladly paid more for it. but meh, anyways, in the end, gameplay and funfactor is all that counts!

same goes for my altima, gameplay and funfactor is all that counts lol.RWD is good only if I had an unlimited amount of rear tires. in the meanwhile, I get my rwd kicks in forza 2

ANYWAYS! back to the subject! ALTIMA COUPE BODY KIT YAY!

You are missing the point... We have the Wii (short supply, not as powerful, but loads of fun)The G37 is the Xbox 360 (for someone more serious whose got $$)

more serious? nah, more like someone looking for something entirely different.$$ ain't got nothing to do with it (In my case). I could have gotten the g37 If I wanted, but I didn't. g37 is something very different from our coupe. doesn't look the same, doesn't feel the same, and it targets totally different peoples. thats the same reason people date younger women and other date older women. it's all about what they are looking for. (if money ain't the issue...A big "if" I know ...)
