Hey NICO, I'm new to the site but was looking for some help. I bought my car in Jan 08 and because I was having trouble finding companies that make parts it's been a slow process. I've done some stuff but here is what I was thinking of doing next

LEDs (not sure if I want to do orange or white inside)
YPipe
Tanabe Exhaust
Stillen front lip spoiler kit
Short Shifter
I would love to do something with my headlights
I want to do a stagger on 20s but not sure what can or will fit
Want to change my grille but not sure which one to go with

Any suggestions or help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks

Hey man I'm new here as well. Just search in the altima forum here and you'll find a few different posts about LED's, etc. It's not too buried in here because I found it after I searched a bit.

I've looked around quite a bit and got some good ideas, I was just looking to see if I might have missed anything or if anyone could give me better suggestions based on some of my ideas.... Thanks for the help....

LEDs (not sure if I want to do orange or white inside) - What color is your car? 3.5 or 2.5?
YPipe - I've been reading people have been looking at Ebay options.
Tanabe Exhaust - I've seen Nismo come up a lot too. Are you looking for sound?
Stillen front lip spoiler kit - I want one too ;( lol
Short Shifter - I remember seeing these on a website... I'll see if I can find out.
I would love to do something with my headlights - There is something I read about using different wattage bulbs and melting the housing. I thought about changing mine until I read that.
I want to do a stagger on 20s but not sure what can or will fit- Haven't researched that much.
Want to change my grille but not sure which one to go with - CMOD grill. (post5971948.html)

Black 3.5
I saw Racingline has one but wasn't sure if anywhere else has one for a better price or quality
I'm looking more for the sound, a deeper more aggressive sound but not loud and annoying
Only reason I haven't gotten the kit don't know where to to get it painted, a good place I mean
I already have the stock HIDs which i'm cool with but I was looking at getting the insides with CF or black and eyelids, stuff like that. Yeah not trying to bake mine is what I think they called it.
I've seen that grille and I don't mind it but would like to keep the Nissan burger (i don't know if I'm using the right terms) and I don't know if that's possible....

aggressive exhaust tone: Artisan Performance Exhaust + Racingline Ypipe! (Borla exhaust is a good choice too)

Grille: Cmod (ask Hussian how to keep the nissan burger on)

eyelids: if ur interested, i have the fiberglass lids that m NOT using anymore..

hussain has the stillen fascia. i think the burger has tabs on it you can put through the cmod and bend. otherwise, 3m tape?

Welcome to NICO! I have red interior LED's. its basically just personal preference. all colors do give off less light than white. so if you need to use your map lights a lot go with white. and if you want some sick projector headlights go to dangeris. he's the man for that.

Thanks for the help.... are either of those exhaust really load.... i checked youtube to see if i could find videos on sound but there are just so many variables.... I want an aggressive sound but not looking to go too much louder than a stock G or Z if that makes sense....

eyelids in good shape? how much you looking for?

I didn't think about the 3M tape I will have to look into that.... hope it won't look cheap or tacky.... maybe it doesn't have to be the nissan burger but i don't want the grille to be empty....

I NEVER, NEVER, NEVER turn my map lights on..... so that's why i was thinking of going with orange on the inside to match the stock lights and white LEDs for the plate and trunk
