Regarding AEM Intake:

YES

How it sounds and performs with the Y-pipe and Borla Exhaust, they all compliment each other

And thank you all for the positive compliments so far

definition of cleann.

I really like the white coupe, it was so hard deciding either white or black.

but im a night driver and black just to me looks more clean to drive.other than If I had a white altima I would want it to look exactly like this.

and how what you do to your front headlights?im pretty sure that its not a vinyl, looks sprayed to me, how did you do it?

Sounds like a plan.

Regarding Headlights overlays...

This was installed by the guy who did my windows. It not your basic vinyl, it is at least double to triple the thickness and twice as sticky.I had the bat overlays, but they were inferior to what is on there now, not to knock Bat, but I needed it to last through the washes, since I currently live where the last two blocks is a dirt trail.

And thank you to everyone for your compliments and inputs during my project.

I do enjoy my Coupe, she is FAST !!

skysurfer, nice choice on the borla. I recently got mine installed and boy is it the PERFECT exhaust for our cars!

I have yet to install the racingline Ypipe as I'm not sure if I really want to go that loud.

Did you install both (ypipe and exhaust) at once or one at a time? I'm curious how much louder it is with the ypipe.
