James200319 / 2010 Altima Coupe 2.5 S / Hagerstown, Maryland

[James200319]

Please forgive me If this is in the wrong place, this is my first time posting on NICO in a while...



I traded in the 2007 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V on a Altima Coupe 2.5S.


It was a hard decision to make the choice to trade in the Sentra. It was a good car, still running great and all, but the mileage was high. The car had over 105k and the value was decreasing fast. I went there interested in this car and was able to get my car paid off... and get money off the new one to make it a deal I couldn't refuse.

2010 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5S / Crimson Black


Amenities... Opposed to features

Intelligent Key/Push Start
Rear Backup Camera
Bose Radio/2 years free XM
Sunroof
Leather Steering Wheel w/controls
Bluetooth Integrated
Dual Zone Climate Control
Dual Exhaust




Future Modifications... hehe
Tint Windows - Probably 20% all around with 5% Front Tint Strip
Spoiler (On Order already. Roof-Trunk)
Intake - Probably Stillen or Injen
Exhaust - Nismo catback duals
Possibly more later

If anyone can suggest other mods they've seen on the Coupes, please let me know.

Ok... Picture time!

Welcome back to NICO. I also traded in my Sentra for an Altima except mine had a lot less mileage on it.
Tell us if you want performance or looks and we'll suggest stuff for you.

Welcome fellow MD coupe! First thing you'll want to do is get that ugly dealer sticker off!
Also, plan to go to Carlisle. You can see lots of mods in person and have a crazy fun time.

[James200319]

Thanks Alex and Marisha.

Alex - I'm looking for both. Most likely i'll stick with looks for now especially due to the warranty and newity(is that a word? lol) of the vehicle. It already looks good and the small things I have planned already.

Marisha - I'm friends with the owner's son of Hamilton Nissan. I am thinking of debadging the car so that white decal will definitely have to come off with it. I'll have to think of a way to support the stealership in some fashion just to be nice.

I'll definitely be at Nico-Carlisle. I went... I think two years ago. It's already on my calendar for this year and i'll be there with my DSLR in hand .

[Marisha]

How about license plate frames? That's lots of advertisement, but you said you wanted to show your support.

[James200319]

They are notorious for the "Pig." I had one on my old car that looked pretty cool on the front windshield. So I may do that since I'm not a huge fan of the tag frames except for maybe a NISMO or Altima one.

Here is a pic of the aforementioned Pig

CONGRATZ AND WELCOME!

[DiamondWVU]

Congrats on the new car man. I go to WVU and drive right through Hagerstown when I go home. It's basically the half way point.

[James200319]

I would love to start up a meet locally along the 70 corridor somewhere for Nissan's or A/C for that matter. I own another forum that I will not mention here for obvious reasons, but nonetheless I love to have meets. Get some photos, talk about mods, etc. Thanks for the welcome!

[6SpeedinCoupe]

Automatic?? Whyyyyyyyy

[James200319]

THE ONLY reason it's an automatic is the deal that I got on the car. They didn't have the color, options, etc. in manual so I had to go with the Automatic. Plus it was a left over 2010 and everything worked out. I went from a SE-R Spec V and I miss the shifting, but I have a 240sx to do that in

Welcome fellow MD coupe! First thing you'll want to do is get that ugly dealer sticker off!

don't forget about lowering your coupe!

[James200319]

Eventually. I don't want to fu** my warranty up.

You're just a positive influence to modification. I'm trying to be a positive influence to my wallet. ;-)

[DiamondWVU]

Yeah man. I'm definitely down to meet up on somewhere on 70. I'll be goin by on the 11th. Gotta visit my girl for Valentine's Day.

front lip from stillen with the cmod grill and springs from eibach or coils if you have more money and lastly rims

[James200319]

Pics of grill and lip installed? I was on Stillen looking, but couldn't find any installed... or I didn't go digging far enough.

[James200319]

And just sitting here at work thinking... what kind of Gas Mileage are you seeing with your Coupes? I've been getting about 25mpg and I'm still below 550 miles (Just got it Saturday).

[Marisha]

depends on driving conditions... daily sucky commute with lots of traffic I'm getting 25-27mpg in the winter time

[James200319]

Yeah I've been taking it easy and have been seeing about the same. I'm taking from your location you're talking about the trek down 270?

[Marisha]

yup! and oh what fun it was this morning

[James200319]

I can only imagine! I don't envy you for that drive. I drive to Frederick and that's enough for me

[Marisha]

My fiancée does the drive to Frederick. How I envy that commute!!!

[Marisha]

James, enable your pm's...you can send them without enabling receipt.

[nismogxs21]

welcome to the forum bruh!!! congrats on the upgrade & i would also suggest lowering the car the only reason your warranty would be voided is if you had a suspension issue & that you shouldnt have for YEARS!!!!!!! i have the warranty on my car still & i had bout the car 3yrs ago & added the eibach springs 2months after i bout it... Nissan hasnt said a thing since.

btw wat camera did u use to take the pics of your car???? they came out CRISP!!!!

[James200319]

I used a Canon Rebel XT . My PMs should be active now

[jewelz505]

Welcome to the Altima Coupe Forum dude!! i dig SER Spec V's. i agree with Phenom-Cmod grille,Stillen Lip,Eibach springs! same set-up i got.yea im sure if you go back far enough youll find pics of that set-up.

[James200319]
