Looks clean. It looks like it can drop a little more but then again, I have coilovers. Looks good otherwise :bigthumb:

What else do you have in mind of doing?

Just for reference Darryl... How much do you charge for a basic projector retrofit?

you feel alittle bit of a difference but to be honest it lags unless your in high rpm's but it sounds awesome. intake + header (thats what i want next) is the way to go.

The car looks awesome. love those wheels... id just reccomend painting the calipers and hubs so the rust doesnt ruin those beauts.

yea. im looking into buying G2 black caliper paint. and paint those puppys. but i see it like this. 40$ caliper paint or 40$ toward the intake lol. so ill buy the intake then work my way to the calipers. oh and i need fog lights lol. but thanks to every one who likes my car. this is my first car so im new to buying these things.. not cheap i might add lol. but thanks again for your guys comments

i wouldnt even bother with that G2 kit. i just used VHT caliper paint from autozone i think it was 10$ i bought 2 cans one black one red ( i used black for the hubs and red on the calipers) and it was plenty. and if you want to avoid the work of taping everything up just spray the paint into the cap and use a brush to paint it all on. REALLY improves the look of the car especially with wheels like yours.

i think def paint them black. We have small calipers and any other colors like red I think make it look cheap. Red calipers are for major breaks like brembo and other big brake systems. I will most likely do mine black as well, unless I sell the car soon instead.

I love how you slid that in there lol.
How's it going Darrel? This is Pete, we met in PA at the rainy car show.
I told you I'm not on here, but it turns out that I actually am.

To the OP, dangeris does do good work on the projectors, I've seen the ones on his car and they came out perfect.
Do 19" not 20's, IMO they look the best on the coupe and the ride doesn't get too uncomfortable, again in my opinion.
I do dig the black theme, good starting point.
Good luck

Pete

I ended up getting the Nismo exhaust and Eibach springs. Friend of mine works at a Nissan dealership and someone traded in their altima coupe with them and he switched them out for me for free :)
