Brand New Coupe

[MidwestSwing11]

Whats up everybody? Short story.. was looking to buy a new car, my dad recommended the Altima Coupe, I started doing research, found this site, saw all of your guys' cars, and I guess you could say the rest is history.

I traded in my 2002 Mazda Millenia S and picked up my 2011 3.5 SR on Saturday. I really liked my Mazda, but I absolutely love my new Altima.

I have a spoiler on the way and am getting the windows tinted sometime in the next week or so. I also plan on looking into upgrading my intake and exhaust sometime this spring. Other than that, I'm not really sure what all I want to do it, because I am basically in love with how it looks now.

Anyway, I just wanted to stop in and say hello. Any feedback, suggestion, criticism, or whatever is welcome.

Here she is...

...What? Guys?

[devilmagic]

welcome on board!

[MidwestSwing11]

Thanks for the welcome everybody. Yea.. I basically only considered one color.
I'm not sure how much I want to mess with the looks of the car, but I'm definitely looking into some simple bolt-ons to increase performance and handling. Don't get me wrong, some of the cars look damn good with different exterior mods, its just not really my style. I'm a big fan of the whole 'sleeper' concept.

[downedzephyr]

sleeper? lower it, wheels, rear sway bar, front strut brace, stillen exhaust (it's the quietest). tints and HIDs are good too.

supercharger!

NOS lol. quickest and cheapest solution for one's power thirst. Congrats on the purchase and welcome.

[DJ_B_Easy]

I'm a big fan of the whole 'sleeper' concept.

Yes, this is my mantra as well. There are plenty of mods for this car that will keep you sleeper and even change up the appearance a little.

welcome to NICO! got some used Eibach springs for a 3.5 if you're intersted. email/msg me

[IBCoupe]

stillen exhaust (it's the quietest)

Really? I love the dual muffler look, but I thought it'd be louder than NISMO. If it's not, I might just go with Stillen. It's a lot cheaper.

And were you referring to the axle-back or cat-back? Either way, it's cheaper than the NISMO cat-back. For the 3.5, Axle-back is just shy of $500, and Cat-Back is just shy of $700

[downedzephyr]

might as well just go catback. and everyone i've talked to + the vids i've seen all show the stillen to be the quietest.

Hm. Student loans are burning a hole in my bank account. >.<

[MidwestSwing11]

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys! I'm still looking around for prices on getting tints and the 3M bumper cover stuff. What websites would you guys recommend for thing like an intake, rear sway bar, front strut brace or exhaust? Is there a one-stop shop or do you have to shop around? Also, I have a 2011, are there other years that I can use if I can't find a part that is specifically for the '11? Thanks!

[wade001]

intakes-check major producers, sway bar/strut brace- racingline, exhaust/etc... theres and accessory thread for our car thats a sticky. look into that, also, search button helps. it comes down to personal preference, check exhaust for our car on youtube to get an idea.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeBaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Bought every mod for my car except the Racingline Y Pipe, Racingline strut bar, and my wheels off of eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeBaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
