The first and most simple mod is an air intake. I have a 2.5S so there are less options, no real 'cold air' that i could find. I would suggest a true cold air intake system. Improved power, mpg, and sound! :chuckle:

welcome noobert!
also, there is no true CAI for the altima coupe. Short Ram's the only way to go unless you plan on relocating the battery.

alright 6-speed!! and 3.5!

performance-wise: cheapest route to go is intake.
cosmetic-wise: Racningline interior LED's? stillen front fascia? GTR overlays (pretty cheap and great mod).

everyone knows stickers are the cheapest way to gain whp! :chuckle:

in terms of performance, i'd have to disagree with you there obstacle. lower your ride and grab a rear sway bar/front strut brace; you could probably get both the rsb and fsb for the same price or maybe $20 more than an intake, and be able to feel a bigger difference with the suspension mods than with an intake or exhaust. the only substantial "best bang for the buck" performance part that i've been hearing about is the y-pipe.
as for cosmetics, get the stillen front lip, it looks really nice on the 2010+ altima coupes, subtle yet more agressive. also, rear overlays would look amazing as well :dblthumb:

yes i just edited, but f***, i just realized i have 666 posts.

For those of us living in brrr Canada, cold air intake is a default option : )

Rims create the biggest difference, go with something with taste and people will love your vehicle

Disagree on that. The 2010 lip barely extends. It looks like it's a default option on the car. I can't even tell that is there. Not worth it IMO. But I guess it doesn't matter since he has a 2008.

Do more research on that. I don't think many people have had that problem on here but I might be wrong. Never heard of it.

doh i didn't see he has an 08. i still like the 2010 look, but the stillen front lip on the 07-09 a/c's looks pretty good too
