I've thought about them before, but the price is too much. Unless you're really flexiable on the price, its too much for me

My car's rear bumper was hit by a car behind me tyring to get out of a parallel parked spot the 1st week I got it. When I took it to the shop to get it repainted, I thought might as well, and painted the trim too. Eventually, it'll all get painted with my Stillen kit.

Don't ask why I didn't I just get the fully loaded Versa with the painted kit

It's lookin good,,,I have the Stillen CAI on mine too.Everyone here at the dealership likes the way it sounds with the Stillen on it.I'd love to get new rims and rubber for mine, but untill I'm done using it to deliver papers in the mornings,it's pointless to put out that kinda money.The conti's that come on the car are just about worn out and I've only had the car since Apr.....and it has 37,500 km's on it too.See I don't waste time......

Nice choice of rims. I've been checking those out as well.

Have you lowered your V as well or is that how they look with those wheels and tires alone.

Thanks williamk10.

Couple more questions if you don't mind...

How much did you lower it? Did you do the install yourself or have it done by a shop? Any issues with scraping driveways?

I'm thinking about a very similar set up for the wife's V.

Tanabe SUSTEC NF210 Lowering SpringsThe NF210 coil spring features a tasteful drop, and produces the best overall ride quality and comfort for a performance lowering spring. The lowered stance of the NF210 gives the car an elegant pose, while the spring rates, which are only slightly raised (up to 5% over stock) retain factory ride quality settings. This coil spring is extremely popular with luxury tuned vehicles, as well as those with larger diameter wheels that want to eliminate fender gap, but maintain excellent driveability while reducing the risk of damage to wheels that is associated with stiffer suspensions. Comfort especially important on daily driven vehicles, and their passengers. The NF210 provides the best driving experience for all types of roads. For those who demand the best comfort from a lowering spring. Ships in one box w/four springs,

I had it done at a shop. I don't have the equipment or the place to do it since I live in an apartment. No issues with bottoming out, but I don't go full speed into driveways. Go slow, and go at an angle. Now when I get my lip on, I'm almost certain it'll scrape.

Nismo V, does your Stillen lip scrape?
