I just got a Black 2008 altima coupe and was seeing what should be my top priority in upgrading it.
I know that I want tints, new rims, grill, and led tail lights. Anybody have any thoughts on this to do it the cheapest way and in what order?

you dont want cheap stuff. it makes your car look like you dont care about it. tint at a good place will run you a couple hundred. rims and tires a thousand to a couple thousand. depending if you wanted the stillen fascia or the c mod grill a couple to several hundred. happy modding! and welcome to nico!

I was thinking on getting tints first but i want them to be able to pass inspection in NC which is 35%. Is it worth it to put 35 tint on a black car?

Maybe an after market intake? And while you're at it, Cmod grills wouldn't be bad. Check my listing! :chuckle:

What should I buy to drop it and about how difficult is it to do it by myself?

coils are the preferred method, but if you don't have the money than springs work well too. coils are a cakewalk install, springs are a bit more difficult.
