I'm new to the forums and just wanted to say some people here have some pretty motivating Versas. I never would of thought Versa's could look so nice especially since popular reputation doesn't deem it as a nice looking car by any means.
I plan on making this 2010 VERSA Hatch 1.8 SL BLACK & WHITE. No Chrome. So far all I have are the window's tinted and tail lights blacked out. Next I plan on getting some white rims, and painting the calipers / disc breaks black with white stickers on it. Then I'll de badge the VERSA and SL and paint the NISSAN sign on the front and back. Oh yeah... and the silver part of the grill will be black as well. I think it will look pretty sweet, if not then orginial.
I was also thinking about doing the inside white on the non black parts but I don't know yet, one at a time.
I also have some performance mods in the works:
AEM Cold Air Intake
Throttle controler
DC Exhaust
Spacers
Lowering springs
Strut bar
Let me know what you all think! :dblthumb:

Hey thanks. My buddy tints lights. He helped me do it in a couple hours. It's actually pretty easy.

Thanks a lot! to Clean_4th gen: Yes I do plan on either smoking them or just putting the black smoke around the lights. I'm not sure how to smoke them, I see that ANTHONY870 has them done, did you get them painted or some kind of film to put on it?
And I do also plan on blacking out the wheels with white calipers and white disc brakes.

Black wheels will look awesome on that car!

I might be misunderstanding what you wrote... but do you plan on painting the actual brake discs? If thats what your planning on, I would advise abandoning that plan. Not only will it not last, but it will probably compromise your braking ability.

I used Lamin-x gunsmoked tint. the tint comes up around the hump so i used the eyelids from ebay to cover the hump.

your idea for the wheels sounds real good. cant wait to see that.

Yea hope you mean painting the drums and not the discs.

I would do black wheels and black calipers and drums, maybe even silver calipers for some contrast. I wouldn't recommend getting white anything on the wheels or brakes as the brake dust will most certainly make it look dirty all the time.

Hahah I do mean the Drums not the discs. But thanks for all the feedback so far.
Here is the car with the back de-badged.
When I blacked out the tail lights I forgot to do the small top part hahah. So I'll get to that when I do the wheels and calipers.

The black & white theme sounds real cool. Can't wait to see more. The interior has to match, so you gotta do that as well. Haha.

Also, I agree with williamk10 about black wheels with silver brakes.
