Irvxing's Coupe Build

[Irvxing]

Yep yep that's getting done when I drop off the car for the cmod grille to get painted and installed. Paints so expensive since its pearl.

[SilverSurfer89]

yea im getting a lip and spoiler put on my car after the accident and since it was getting painted already why not mod now plus have it payed for by insurance is a win win lol hopefully i can get her back tomorrow havent driven her since november 18th =(

[Irvxing]

Nice! Did you get the stillen lip aswell? Which spoiler? Lil and post pica when you get her back

[SilverSurfer89]

i saw her last tuesday fully repainted but they were waiting on the stillen lip and spoiler so hopefully they finally have it since they ordered it like 2 weeks ago. i noticed how when i plugged in my car to see the parts they didnt offer the rear spoiler for the 10+ model years which didnt make sense since the back of the car remained unchanged and the oem wing is ugly so i just plugged in 09 coupe and had them order it

[Irvxing]

What!?!?! You dont like the wing on the 10+? I like it better then the straight one.

[SilverSurfer89]

i dont like the oem wing on any of the coupes but i noticed when we plugged in our cars years and model on stillens website it didnt offer the lip spoiler for those years. i dont know y they did that since nissan didnt change the rear of the 10+ coupes when they did the face lift so i plugged in the 09 altima on stillen in order to get the rear lip spoiler for my 2011. the oem wing looks like a seagul is sitting on my trunk.

the trunk lines of our coupes seem to look better wingless and dont get me started on those pedestal spoilers that some hade before the 2010+ AC's lol

[Irvxing]

Lol yeah the table top spoilers are fugly. Im not a fan of the rear lip spoiler looking to get the imp side skirts next

[SilverSurfer89]

side skirts were the one thing i forgot because both got replaced aw well

[SilverSurfer89]

and now that i think about it i couldve gotten the GT rear bumper fml

[Irvxing]

Awe dude the gt rear bumper is horrid! imp rear bumper if any is the best to go after oem lol.

[SilverSurfer89]

never seen it until now... reminds of the accord rear il keep my oem lol

[Irvxing]

Oem is the best

[Irvxing]

*UPDATE* lip added. Thanks stillen!

[Blake@STILLEN]

Lip looks great so far!

Did you get it painted already? (maybe I missed that post if you did). I kinda liked the way it looks black on the bottom of the pearl white

[Irvxing]

yeah i got it painted. i edited the pics into the post i have up. i liked the contrasting black on the lip aswell but decided to color match it. If only i would of known painting it black would of been cheaper due to this pearl paint

[incREDibL3]

so fresh and so clean !

jealous. i should of gotten my car white... white looks clean! lol

[SanoSuKe]

I can't tell the diff between the new lip and OEM, can u post 2 pics next to each other? sorry I'm blind. That last pic tho it looks mad aggressive.

[SilverSurfer89]

lip looks awsome cant wait to see mine done

[Ranga14]

I love that 10+ lip, sooo nice.

[YoungCoupe]

Your car looks SICK!
How did you go about painting the chrome on your grille?

[jzhlax11]

awesome build!!

how did you paint the chrome "mustache"? did you remove it, or paint it on the car? and what paint did you use?

thanks - car looks great

[andyhenault]

[Irvxing]

so fresh and so clean !

Look at the bottom of the front bumper lol you'll see a difference. The last pic had the lip installed. Check out a few pics before the last one.

Thanks! Cant wait to see yours done too. Post it up as soon as you get it!

Definitely! Prefer the simplicity of the lip while keeping my fogs

[Irvxing]

How did you go about painting the chrome on your grille?

Thanks! I painted it with plastidip. 3 coats I'm not good as spraying so I went with plastidip so if I messed up I could peel it right off.

awesome build!!

thanks! And yeah I removed it. The chrome piece just cones off if you pry it carefully. Its held in by tabs. I used plastidip to paint it. That way it reversible.

I actually love the look of the black unpainted lip on the white : l coupe. Anyone else?

[Irvxing]

Yeah. I really liked how the black looked on the white bumper. Might end up painting the bottom half of the lip black. (Where it divides)

[SilverSurfer89]

IRVxing where you been dude? havent seen you post up any update in a while hope all is well

[enomis]

hey OP, in your picture with you and another white altima. How did your buddy get the LED where the fog lights should be?

[matanzero]

Thanks man! one more month to go.
It all depends on how much lower you want your car to go.
They sell the lowering springs that lower our cars around 1 inch front 1.5 back i believe, cant remember the exact drop rates. There eibach (ones im using) H&R, Tein just to name a few.
You can also go the more expensive route and get fully adjustable coilovers. But you'll be able to adjust ride height, stiffness,camber and such.
