once i get that car home its getting torn apart. hoping my amp and, avic and aftermarket dash kit will be here tomorrow so i can instal that and finish up the fiberglass trunk which is already in the works. hoping to get the muffler added on thursday or friday depending on my schedule and the endlinks before the weekend. so basically the only time the car will be stock is on the ride home and then that intake is in there first

so i had a little set back today, i went to pick up the car and noticed that the bumper has rough spots/bubbles on it and asked someone who worked there what happened and they told me the car was backed into a pole and they fixed it before they got it ready for me. so i told them to forget about this car and see what else they could find me as i didnt want a car that had already been touched up.

anyways onto some parts i want to thank Joe @ RACINGLINE for getting everything here super quick and even giving me options by sending both battery tie downs. I was really impressed with the quality of the parts. the finish on them is really nice and im sure once i get them on the car ill have nothing but good things to say about them. ill do a review once i get them on and honestly if you guys are looking at getting some parts for your suspension give joe a shout as he was there every step helping me get what i needed picked out and answering my 10 000 questions a day lol.anyways here are some pictures and then im off to finish a pair of projectors and the fiberglass box for the car which ill have pictures up of soon

dash kit, radio harness, antenna adapter

amp that will be hidden

now the goodies (front and rear endlinks, battery tie downs)

hey weren't you supposed to get a black A/C? guess they didn't give you a black one agains't the one they rearended .

I posted a link in the other thread for the how-to remove the panels,here it is again: http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread/330757

its half way down the thread for the door panels

oh yeah and you should remove completely that spare tire from the trunk, thats what I did and it cleared out and made the trunk so much more practicall, if you do that then you can get rid of the useless black plate and the two Styrofoam parts. here's mine http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread?id=355644

Cars coming along really Nice Brandon! Can't wait to see your projector setup on your own vehicle. I'm sure it'll be more tricked out than ours! Good Job!

finished installing sound deadner this weekend, everything in the car is done except the roof, not sure if i will bother doing it but the car sounds like a vault now. if you tap on the doors from the outside it sounds like its solid instead of the ping you would get before. Also got around to installing the front endlinks here is a review i did on them, more pictures up soon guys and girlshttp://forums.altimas.org/zerothread?id=378320

to be honest i used dupli colour wheel paint with a nice clear coat, sanded them down with 400 grit first then did a wet sand, primer, hit it with 3 coats of each and its pretty damn close, im going to get it resprayed with the right colour when i get a front lip. takes 2 seconds to pop them out

looks good bro, but with all these custom installers, are you going to have a grill made. You should get a deep dish mesh.

P.S. email me those pics we talked about. please
