Welcome to the Forums! I live right across from the Verazano Bridge in Brooklyn. I just bought the Stillen Front Lip Spoiler as well, got it last Thursday and am going to get it painted on Saturday along with my mustache. Just curious... I see you "blacked out" the holes on either side. How did you go about doing this? Did you paint the front bumper where the holes line up? How did you go about doing this? I love the way it looks and I've seen others who haven't done this and it just doesn't look as nice.

Also, you should see about coming to the Altima Coupe Atlantic City Meet we're having on September 19th to the 20th.

There's a thread for it here: http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread/358135

Welcome!! Nice ride!

I'm always down for a Meet. What i don't understand is how some of you guys have yet to respond to the Atlantic City Meet... do we have a lot of underagers here who can't drink or stay over a night in a foreign city... or are people just agoraphobic??? (before you ask... fear of public places)

P.S. - LBC... where you been? I know you're back from Cali. You still on vacation mode? Summer is over buddy, get back to work!

Post by **surmanm** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 10:44 am

yeah i spoke to LBC a couple of hours ago he told me he had no internet access but he should be on today what can i say hes a bum. yo how do i get my name added on the list for the a/c meet

Yeah i know i'm one of em, I'm still figuring things out... I'm very last minute it sucks. I doubt I'll be staying overnight though... just really wanted to attend somekind of a meet. A bk meet would be a lot closer to me

Post by **surmanm** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 11:03 am

what do u think we should make it for this Friday or saturday or is that to soon maybe it will better to make it for next week?

Post by **Sith LL_Coupe** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 12:16 pm

If you guys are really serious about doing one, make a new thread and post a poll.

Post by **Kango** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 3:28 pm

Thank you everyone for a warm welcome.

Haha yeah I thought that was you.

About the blacked out holes... I attached flexible plastic pieces to the bumper where the holes will be.... then attach the front lip. Quiet simple actually. Yeah I noticed that not lot of people did this. I think the picture of blue a/c on stillen site did something like it.

welcome NYC

i like your ride, im waiting on my front lip spoiler for my car-looks good on yours.

One other cheap mod i would suggest is painting the mustache (unless you like the chrome). I saw another red on here with it painted and it looked really good with the contrast of the black grille.

Post by **MikeisSUPERBAD** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 1:19 pm

hey kango- nice ride!

did u install the fog bulb replacements yourself? was it as easy as just getting under the front lip and unclipping the black plastic?

also did u buy the car with the rear wing ?? or if not where did you go for paint and install? looks great!

Post by **MikeisSUPERBAD** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 1:20 pm

changing the bulbs were pretty easy. yes just unclip and move the plastic to reach the back of fogs.

Post by **prlwhitecoupe** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 6:46 pm

How did you go about installing the LEDS in the rear lamps? I thought you needed to do quite a bit of work because the current is so low you need to install some type of capacitor so that when you brake or whatever the LEDS wont flicker.....or did you just plug them in and that was it????

Post by **coderedk** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 6:49 pm

how much did it cost you to paint your lip?i have a red a/c with a lip coming in the mail and i live in long island so i wanted to know if you got a good price over in staten island
