So yeah recently picked up my navy blue 2010 Altima 2.5S. It's a lease, so I can't do much to it. But my plans so far are:

1. Black out the tail lights (Should I, or not?)
2. Black roof overlay
3. Get an exhaust, preferably catback. (Any suggestions?)
4. Get xenon lights.
5. And possibly an intake (Suggestions?)
6. Maybe a nice set of rims like BBS's or something.
7. Debadge
So yes, as you can see I need some help deciding on what to do with my Altima. Any tips, suggestions or anything like that will be appreciated.

My main focus right now is to get exhausts and I really need some tips on that. Anyone know of any exhausts (preferably catback) which sound nice raspy and deep, and not ricey? :yesnod

Congrats on the NEW CAR dude. It's beautiful. Welcome to our NICO Family. For mods from your list my personal opinions are.
1. A light tint is very nice since the car is black. Otherwise it's going to look to dark and police will be all over you.
2. Black roof overlays are nice in my opinion.
3. Cat-Back exhaust it a great mod. My suggestion would be Stillen. I have it on my Altima Coupe and love it.
4. For HID's I would go with www.ddmtuning.com . They have a lifetime warranty. Stock HID's from Nissan is 4300K. I bought some 6000K which are a bit brighter toward the blueish side.
5. An intake is a nice add on to the Cat-Back. On suggestions I would not know for the 2.5S.
6. For rims I would say go for 19's or 20's. It's a bigger car and 18's will look small. I have 18's on my AC and they look small to me. Are you planning on lowering your car?
7. Debadging the car is a nice/clean touch. I plan on doing it to my car.
If you have any questions at all just ask them and you will receive help from a member. Once again welcome to the NICO Family and you will enjoy our forum dude :bigthumb: .

Wow thanks a lot man, I feel warmly welcomed :biggrin:
The car is actually navy blue lol, I know it looks pretty black in the pics. Looks like we have the same taste in modifications. I don't if I should lower the car since it's a lease, would be too much trouble to go through once I have to return it in 3 years. But it's still a possibility. For the exhaust, I've been looking into Nismo or Stillen, both seem to sound real nice. Thanks for the welcome and suggestions man, highly appreciated :dblthumb:

No problem. Making people feel welcome to our Forum is what we're all about here on NICO. About lowering your car what I would do if I were you is think if you're going to keep the car after your lease is over. If your going to keep the car after the lease then you'll be able to change the suspension and lower it :yesnod . Well I hope you're enjoying the car and once again welcome to our NICO Family. Any questions you have just ask or post up in the Altima Coupe section and they will be answered ;) . Many sedan people visit and post in the AC section.

No I won't be keeping the car. This is just a temporary. Before getting this I had a G35 coupe but the insurance was getting uncontrollabe so I had to sell it. I'll be rolling on the Alti until I get my financial trouble resolved, and after that I'll be picking up a G37. If they will still have it in 3 years that's is :P

Oh yes. :mike

Can't decide whether to debadge it fully, or leave the Nissan logo.
