Well I've officially got my first mod on the car. I got home for holiday leave and in the 2 weeks that I've spent at home I managed to get three mods for my car, the rims and tires being the major one. I found these on Craigslist, I shot the owner an email and decided to drive to his house to see them. The rims are 19'' TSW Thruxtons with Falken FK452 225/45/19 tires. The rims and tires are basically new, he'd had them on the car for approx 4200 miles before he got rear-ended, so his car has just been sitting in the driveway for a while.

He's wanting to go for a different look with some 18's as well. So I offered him $800 and presto...I have new wheels!! I have to report back to Ft. Leonard Wood on Jan. 2 (tomorrow) for 45 more days of Military Police training before I graduate AIT and come back home on Feb. 19. But as of now, my car has 2003 miles on the odo, and is begging to be driven some more.

After I put the wheels on, it is apparent that a drop is needed very badly. Especially the front. I don't know why the Altima's have the front lifted up so high?!?! So when I get back in town, the Eibach pro kit along with Stillen front lip, side skirts, and roof spoiler will be going on. The other mods I got are an official Nismo lisence plate frame from the Nissan dealer and I ordered a set of Lamin-X yellow fog lights overlays but they haven't got here yet.

So without furthur ado, here are some pics....

Excuse the rims and car for being so dirty, the weather's been crappy, and I don't see the point of cleaning it when I'm leaving tomorrow anyway. It'll be garaged for the next 2 months so it doesn't have to look pretty for anyone
