Altima Coupe Wing..

[Unfkwthabl]

A couple of people have wanted me to post pics of my wing to see how it looks against the coupe. I finally have time to do it but there are a few things that i want people to keep in mind when looking at the pics. I wanted to get and am still planning on getting the apr gtc100 wing for my car cause I think it'll look good. The only problem is I didnt want to dish out about 400 for a wing on my car on a chance that it will look good. I was given this wing by a friend for dirt cheap which is the same design as the apr wing so i thought i would install it to see how the apr wing would look. I think that my stands do look bad and place the wing higher then i would like. My goal is to make the wing look like the do luck 350Z wing which i think would look sick on our coupes. Until I can afford the apr wing which is not as big and sits with a lower profile to the car im sticking with this one. This mod is for pure looks because I know our cars are FWD. This is for those who wanted me to post pics.

Fixed, you forgot a word.

[sickkwidit]

i have mixed feelings about this wing
i bet it looks a lot better in person

[Ranga14]

lmao, funny, I think I actually like it.

I can see your point in wanting to lower it a little. At least it's not a complete elevator wing. You should post some more shots of it, like a side profile of the car with it and some further from behind.

Interesting SE R badge. Looks better than most I've seen although I don't think I'd stick that on a 2.5 unless it was boosted.

The thing that most people don't understand is that this is a no where near finished project. Finding someone to do exactly what I want with the wing is proving harder then I thought. I can easily take it off and put an aftermarket spoiler on and have my car look identical to a lot of other coupes in the forum but thats not what I want with my car. When I'm done with the wing it should look something like this.



I'm not the only Altima with a wing. Even though I had mine first Braille Battery did a better job with it.

[Loop]

At least have the car & mods to back up what you are saying...

[Unfkwthabl]

The thing you don't understand Loop is that I'm trying to do something different with my car. It seems to bother you that I left my car this way for some reason but if you must know all my money is tied up on my first project my 1985 cadillac on hydros. Your car is nice but just because you put more money in it then others have. I can easily make my car look like yours cause the parts you chose are readily available for our car. Its people that think outside the box like dangeris and a few others that come up wit mods that make their cars stand apart form yours. We are not getting that much more aftermarket support for our cars and if everyone thought the way you did our cars would all look the same. And because I've been around in this forum for long enough to know my words are nothing without proof. Here is a pic of my first project in the same spot I shot my Altima.

That is your problem, being different! It doesn't work if your not putting the correct investment into the car! Its the concept of what you are doing and I would consider your car being rice on this type of car platform. Oh wait, didn't you get bashed before a while back for posting your pictures or someone posted your pictures of your car? I THINK SO!

I really don't think you know my history at all, it explains everything what I have done to my car and the reason of going back to stock. It mainly has to do with the platform(Altima) and the support with aftermarket companies like you said. Hence I have no reason to think outside of the box anymore, I have done it already in the past. My car is retired from seeing shows and events.

The caddy...

[insaneturbo13]

i hate to jump in and just flame... but come-on.... you cant really be serious... that 85 cadi is really.... ummm... a waist of time? it has no personality to it... now a 67 mustang.... a 69 camaro.. those have personality, those are something you can work with and end up with something great, but if you take a piece of crap and polish it up.... all you end up with is crap. your throwing money into something that no one will care about...

as far as loop goes, im with him, i think the altima is beautiful, its curves, the way it sits, the way it corners and handles, everything is so close to perfect, all it needs is a little love, but the wing is over-the-top, you need to find something that follows the shape of the car... not distract the attention away from what your putting it on...

i think most people have cars all wrong, no one cares about the cars anymore.... just the stuff they can put on them. sad day....

[trayharrell951]

i no like.

[Ranga14]

To each their own. If he likes jazzing up his Cadi, that's cool, whatever works.

As for the wing, I like the IDEA behind it, trying to attempt the 350z style there. IMO, it's decent looking. It's just hard to pull off sometimes on different cars.

[Loop]

It's just hard to pull off sometimes on different cars.

I hate to keep bashing on him, so I will give him a little advice, change the wheels(tuner style) if you want to pull off that wing. Change the exhaust to non fart cannons. Drop the car more. Still won't be a fan of the those types of wings on this car =/

[Unfkwthabl]

I was trying to be civil about this Loop and I understand that my Altima may seem rice to you and your entitled to your opinion. I'd rather get made fun of all day then build a cookie cutter car that anyone else can copy. Its those that take customizing to a different level that get recognized. You had to bring your Altima back to stock because you couldn't follow in anyone elses footsteps when it came to new parts because u weren't creative enough to take your car to the next level. Keep in mind that I have a trophy winning car 2 but am humble about it unlike yourself that probably hates on everything cause he thinks hes better. Of course you think my cadillac is ugly due to the fact that you know little about my customizing. Its a lowrider. Its a 2 pump hydraulic setup for those to stupid to realize telling me to get a mustang or a camaro. Its built for hopping not racing. Then again I can't expect you to know anything about other classes of cars because you guys are just 2 narrow minded. If you read the first post this is for those who wanted more pics not people who hate just to feel better about themselves.

[Unfkwthabl]

Loop it ok. No advice needed. Though your car was nice its not my style. Its funny how you remember every detail of my car when I didn't even post pics of my mufflers. Thanks for making my car so memorable. I'm making my car my own which is exactly what I like. I posted this for those who wanted to learn more about my wing. Not for an instruction manual on how to make my car look like yours. We get it you don't like my wing. You do you and I'll do me plain and simple. Im'm not looking for a cookie cutter car so you can take your advice to someone that wants an ordinary car. As for me I care little for what you have to say.

[Loop]

You know what, I am not going to waste my time here because you can't comprehend anything I say. Post false things about me all you want. Let the comments speak for itself here. Nuff said.

[trayharrell951]

thats not cookie cutter

[Loop]

One last post before I snooze. I highly recommend reading this thread. Take some notes while your at it.

[nismogxs21]

honestly dude im not sure the whole "thinking out the box" thing is workin for you... wings like that make me scream rice (unless your trying act like ur in fast & the furious )

the wing is just making the rest of us look bad... & considering your altima & mine are very similar I am a bit tight that your makin it look like s***

sorry im being blunt but hey you sign up on a forum to be criticized in both positive & negative ways.

[White_SR]

I'm not diggin it, it's not really the style wing I would choose but to each their own. It's your car and modding it the way you want is way more important than pleasing the forum people and posting pics will almost always draw feedback.

[DReed86]

Wow quite the battle here.... As far your wing man I think it looks sick with your style. IF you had a stock car with no mods and threw on a win.... that would look very ricer......
But the fact that you have Fascia, side skirts, rims and ED rear bumper..... It goes with your looks I would recommend getting some tint.

And as far as going different I like it... I like people who have different ideas who think outside the box. Like insaneturbo with the door handle leds. or hussain with the Quad exhaust... People who are outside the box make cars interesting.

However i do agree with Loop on the fact that is should be a little lower if your got the whing maybe 3-4" from the tail lights I think that would look really nasty but keep on with the differnt looks man !!

[Loop]

Its the fact he went form over function on a i4. The fact it is an Altima and not a civic. The fact what he has done is purely cosmetic and nothing else. Like I said, at least have the car(chassis & platform) & mods(FI & suspension) to back up what he is doing...

[Unfkwthabl]

I can understand people don't like my wing and I can take criticism no problem. The thing that pisses me off is people trying to bash my car without letting me know any ideas to make this look better. The thing is Loop that performance to me comes second to cosmetic mods. I like the tuner look but don't care if my car can beat any other cars in a race. I'd rather my car look nicer then perform better as you can see with my rims and wing mod. It may not be other peoples style and thats perfectly fine but I've never gotten into the simple and clean look. Nismogxs21 how am I embarrassing black coupes. Does my car directly affect yours. My car reps me first so its built to my liking. If I took my wing off your car wouldn't be unique anymore it would look exactly like yours. I can respect those that simply say they don't like it and realize its my taste and my car and give a little advice on how they think it'll look better even though its not their style.

[Loop]

I already gave you my words of wisdom. All you need to do is reread all my post, it sums it up. Its really hard to not bash you when you make it so easy for me or others. But I have restrain myself to not bash you any further than what I have done. Goodluck with your future modding.

[DJ_B_Easy]

My $0.02...

You are putting this thing on for cosmetic reasons, its kind of like robbing a bank with a fake gun. To the average eye, you look tough like you mean business and no one is going to F with you, or in this case that your car has such massive power that you need the wing. BUT, when the cops roll up to the bank, or Loop rolls onto your post, you are going to get shot.

Im all for doing your own thing and being unique, but expect criticism...or a couple shots fired in your direction.

The wing is not my style, but if you like it more power to you.

[DiamondWVU]

The wing looks horrible man. I'm sorry. Doesn't match with the lines of the car at all. Have you seen loops car before he turned it back to stock? http://www.extremedimensions.com/10260.html
Not exactly cookie cutter.
By the way when I was at the dealership I was trying to get a 2.5 se-r but they said that they didn't have any left... How did you get that?!?!?!?!

[DReed86]

He doesnt have an SER that is an 08 not 10' they didnt make SER in O8 or I would have gotten one. Its just a sticker but again bro if you lower the wing It would look much better.... As for the comment I keep hearing that the wing doesnt flow.......

Look at the back where the top of the back lowers of to the tails.... The wing has the same design and thats part of what I like about it... If the wing was flat it would look a little odd but the styling of this wing looks great and it would only look good on a black coupe!

[DReed86]

Its the fact he went form over function on a i4. The fact it is an Altima and not a civic. The fact what he has done is purely cosmetic and nothing else. Like I said, at least have the car(chassis & platform) & mods(FI & suspension) to back up what he is doing...

And as far as mods what did you have that was different with your car loop... My issue is the fact that his car was a 2.5 and not a 3.5 but Loop what have you done to your car because honestly unless you have a turbo your not really doing major engine mods, 80% of the people here have intakes, exhaust. What is so differnet about your car......

And Im personally not a big fan of the stickers all over your car I think thats way more of a ricer look than the wing.... Just thought we should get some prospective from the other side..

[DiamondWVU]

He doesnt have an SER that is an 08 not 10' they didnt make SER in O8 or I would have gotten one.

They did not make a se-r in 10' either. They make a 3.5 SR. They never made and never will make a 2.5 se-r. I was being sarcastic.
