What do you guys think about it? Btw, i'm looking for nice decent rims, can't find nothing good so far, any body can recommend me a website? And which rim size should I get, 17? Thanks.

Welcome. BTW unless a previous owner did a front end swap you have a 2010+ not a 2009 (I would guess your car was manufactured in 2009 as a 2010 model). For wheels tirerack.com seems to be the most popular.

Hey, how did you notice? Yes, the front end is from a 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe, I don't see the difference in years, how did you notice? And thanks for the website I will check it out.

Was the car involved in a collision, giving the previous owner the opportunity to have the refreshed front fascia installed?

Yes, this car is a rebuilt title, but the accident was on the side, but I don't know why did they change the front bumper if the crash was on the driver side.

The bumper, grill, hood, and headlamps were the indicators that the front end was swapped out. Hard to say why the previous owner swapped out the front end. Nonetheless, the newer style front end looks better. I'm surprised they were to cheap to install the OEM fog lights too. :crazy:

OH, no idea of that, I don't know the difference on years with this car, they look all the same for me, and is that good or bad?!! About the swapping the previous owner did? Oh yeah, sometime soon I want to add fog lights, but not sure yet...

I think the refreshed front end has a more modern look than the earlier model coupes.
