Alrighty, here are the B4 & After pics after the install of the Stillen Parts. Not a drastic change, but enough to have people pulling up to me and asking "What is that Gorgeous Car?" Yes, I am in love with this thing. Never thought I would be after having owned three very bad *** Corvettes, but this is a sweet freakin ride! Enjoy Boys and Gals!

I like. I've been wrestling on the front end and think it's going to be the lip upgrade for me. I love the facia but for me the lip is enough.

I'd do the roof if it wasn't so pricey.

Happened lastnight as we pulled into our friend's driveway to watch teh Sabers get their asses beat by the Penguins. The Pizza Hut gal pulled up and asked my friend, "What kind of car is that in your driveway. It's beautiful!" I went over and told her it was an Altima Coupe. Her response, was "Really?"

Incident #2, I left Albertsons tonight and a gentleman pulled up along side of me as I was leaving the parking spot and he asked, "What is that car" She's a beauty!" I told him it was an Altima and he said, "Very pretty!"

Incident #3...took car to get detailed day before last. As I was going to get in car and look it over before tipping the wash people, the lot guy came out and asked me, "What kind of car is that? It's a good lookin ride!" I told him it was an altima and he said, "Really, is it a 2007?" I told him it was an 08, first year and he said, "I would never have guessed that was an Altima. Beautiful car you have there."

I do have pics of the carwash guy washing it. But I don't make it a habit to record conversations on a regular basis.

Thanks for the compliments by the way from everyone. And those of you that don't like it can SUCK IT! Im just kidding! It's all good!

Clean! I'm beginning to like the lip a lot more than the entire fascia.

I'm still not getting why it would interfere? The camera placement on the coupe is underneath the trunk lid, above the license plate. Not anywhere close to the rear deck spoiler nor the roof spoiler.

Tanya, Nice ride BTW! lovin' the color and the Stillen lip definitely is very pronounced. It doesn't get lost at all in the color. Keep up the great work!

Are you sure?? I thought the camera was on top of the roof. The view is so bubbled that I would expect the roof wing to show in the back-up cam.

I'm positive! I just cleaned the lens off of mine last night from all the debris that gets on it when it's crappy weather out. I know for sure though that the Infiniti's have the camera integrated in the the rear spoiler or rear deck wing

Your are right! I just checked the PDF for the owners manual and it says "The rearview camera is installed beside the license plate light." I never would have guessed that.

The camera is nowhere near the rear wings. However,I did put a pretty cool black chrome license plate surround on the car and when in Reverse I catch the very edge of the lip of the surround. But no wings.

I went with the Roof wing and rear spoiler because they were very modest in size, but yet gave a little uniqueness to the car. The roof wing does not interfere with your view out of the back window either. And you cannot see the rear deck wing at all. Im not one for all the RICEYNESS of a LARGE 3-story wing, unless it is on a C6R or other LeMans car of some sort. lol.

I do like the Stillen Front Fascia ALOT! But I wanted to keep my Fog Lights and until something comes out that allows me to do that, I went with the Lip Spoiler. I was VERY surprised at how happy I was with just doing the Lip Spoiler. I was also afraid that painting the pieces the same color as the car would wash out the new lines of the car and the fact that it is a little different than stock. But after we installed everything, I was very pleased.

The Lip spoiler was $228.11Roof Wing was $175.50Rear Wing was $175.50

and I bought them all at the same time as the Eibach Springs, which I am hoping to get put on next week. It rocks having a live-in mechanic and car guy! (aka hubby.) lol.

BTW, the Z06 is his. And Thank you for the compliment on that as well.

You all inspired me to NOT keep the car stock and to utilize the resources that were out there for these gorgeous cars to make mine a little more ME. So, you all have beautiful cars and rides and I appreciate NICO being here and all your opinions. They all matter and I am glad you all have great taste!

LATA!

Sweet. I want the Front & Upper Lip. Not a fan of Rear Spoilers.

Any idea where I can get them up here (Toronto)?

NissNEZ, I saw you driving on 67th Ave. just north of 101 freeway!!!! haha how cool is that, not sure if you saw me coming out from a side street in a sedan on SE-R wheels.

Anyways, one question, where are you going to get your Pro kit installed? can you let me know the shop and price? I'm lookin for a good one too.

EDIT: I see you said your husband is a good mechanic. Is there anyway I can have him install my springs for cash? let me know please!!! I live really closeby
