Hello everyone, my name is Jose. I'm not new to NICO but new to the AC family. I use to read a lot of the 240sx forums, being that i owned a 1989 240sx. I sold that before i went to bootcamp [i'm in the Marine Corps]. I recently came back from Afghanistan, and decided to buy me a 2008 Altima Coupe, but when i saw the 2010 i was like "Man i want it!" LoL so i got it, and i love it, and i wanna make her sexy. Unfortunetly it's automatic, they didn't have any manual ones at the time so i had to settle for it =/. i been reading a lot of the forums you guys have here, a lot are veeeery useful so i want to thank everyone in advance. i got some pictures, not all that bc i was in a rush.

you're the first 2010 altima in the forum, congrats! and i know what you mean about not being able to get a manual. when i was getting my 08 A/C back in 2007, i went to the dealer and said i wanted a silver 3.5se stick shift. they only had one 3.5se and it was a dark slate CVT... so thats what i got.

Welcome!

First thing I would do is paint the rear diffuser flat black. Having it color match to body doesn't look to good compare to the 08-09 model.

thats not a bad idea, i think i'll be doing that soon. After i get my HIDs and install em.

I'll try to make it to the next meet, i live in North Carolina due to being in the Marine Corps, but i go to NewJersey for holidays and stuff, so i hopefully there's one soon.

depends man, Nissan didn't change that to make the car uglier, they did it to make the car look more upscale. For the general public, leaving stuff unpainted on the car = cheap.

Al Asad blows... and yeah.. I drive a s13 Hatch. Did an SR swap and got it running the day before I deployed. There's a thread on here somewhere. Sad thing is, as soon as I get home, it's going to be out of commission again. Got a GT3071R for it along with some other goodies. Either way, you'll find a LOT of military on this forum if you haven't noticed already.
