New 2010 Coupe with pics, tell me what you guys think~!

[iheartmyfrontend]

First I wanted to say that this is my first post!
I have had my coupe for almost a month now and I love it! It's a Superblack 6spd 2.5s. Here are some pictures of it and what i have done to it so far. Enjoy!

This is a pic the first day I picked her up. Me and my girlfriend took a pic of her new honda fit and my car "kissing. "


First change I did was switch out my wheels for some g37 wheels. They aren't in perfect condition but are very close to it! They aren't the normal staggered set, instead they are 19 x 9 all around. Tires are brand new Falken 452.



That 240 is my old car =]

I also got a set of 55w 8000k hids from ddmtuning. I wanted 6000k, but they recommended 8000k to get the 6000k look since I went with 55w. It ended up looking more white than I had wanted, but I'm happy with them.

Sorry, it's not a really good pic.

Another thing I did was I took off the front grille and I wanted to make it black. I didn't want to paint it though, just in case I ever wanted to go back. I got some matte black sticker paper and i wrapped it. It turned out pretty well! Just dont know how long it will last since its not the regular vinyl wraps.

What do you guys think?

And last night, I debadged the altima and 2.5s emblems. It's not to confuse people that i may have a 3.5 but just looks well centered and cleaner with only they nissan emblem. I took out the dealer frame and dealer "plate" and used my old nismo plate and added a transformer picture and will prolly keep it there till a couple weeks after my plates come in! Are there any other transformer nerds here??=]


Future mods I want to do are to definitely get rid of the horrendous gap! Future drop is a must. And prolly gonna get the K&N Intake, nismo exhaust and stillen header. Thats all gonna be much later though
This is my first post so I don't know if i broke any forum rules( ie. The photo of the honda) =P so please be easy. I look forward to posting more!
Thanks for looking!

I went to CVS and in like the kitchen aisle where they sell pantry liners (not panty liners ), they have these rolls of wrap called contact paper. Thats what i used and i just use a big piece that covered the whole grill. and cut and wrap it. It's pretty easy to do. Goodluck!

Thanks for all the replies, can't wait to get more things done to the car!!!

bro love the front end now s*** badass with the matte look if u painted the insiede of the headlights itd look amazing

I've been waiting for someone with a 2010 to do something like this with there grill. There's no need to wait for C-Mod to come out with an aftermarket grill, just paint or cover the OEM. I think that Black is the only color that can pull off matte black though; color matching car's exterior would look best on the other colors.

Thanks! I really want to do that, just afraid of messing them up. Will eventually take that path though!

I didnt cover the back completely, but i did wrap around to some of the back. I got all the curves of the grille.

I think that is the biggest misconception about black paint. If you have a great coat(s) of wax on it, the car will look like its clean from a distance (10+) feet. My car looks clean a month after I wash it(if I wait that long to wash it). The key is the detailing job.

Now the sucky thing about black paint is the micromarring. There is no avoiding that. . .

[Rmuth25]

besides, a black car that is somewhat dirty looks 10x sexier than any other perfectly clean color in my opinion.

How did you take the front grille off? I have searched all over and cant find how to remove the 2010 front grille.

[iheartmyfrontend]

you can just pull it off. There are tabs and just pull of each tab one at a time.
