New guy looking for parts....

[Robs_altima]

Hello all, this being my first post on a site I've been checking up on for 2 months. I picked up my new 3.5SE just about that long ago. Used to drive a turbocharged Scion tC but wanted something wih a bit more to offer an every day driver. Not to mention the fact I modded that crap out of it and never knew what might go wrong next.

I've helped friends install Borla exhausts on their cars, Tiburon V6, GTO, and a GTO. I've heard rumors that they're releasing a system soon. Thought I remember coming across a link to a development sound clip. Any info on this would be great.

Starting to stock pile parts for the spring, only have an intake for now. Just want to pick up an exhaust, springs, wheels, and Stillen's new front bumper. I like the lip they have out but the stock front bumper always turned me off. It was almost enough to make me think about moving up to a G37, hope saying the "G" word ins't too bad around here. The car precision grey and has 5% tint all around for now. Probably going to go with a set of black/polish wheels to contrast the windows. Think 20" with a 35 series tire. Any opinions on these? Good price, weight, and are pretty clean.

Welcome to NICO! Wow, that's a lot of questions to answer for me right now because I'm very tired. So, hopefully someone else will step up and answer them for you. I gotta get some Zzz's for now. Just wanted to welcome you.

Yeah... I know. But there's a lot on my mind as far as the car goes.

If you do pickup the stillen bumper then plz post pics! I can't wait to see real life pictures of that thing (not considering the mate finish official ones )

and yeah there is a borla exhaust coming out for the coupe. Adidas2go even has the prototype one installed in his coupe.

here are some youtube of the borla:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-2yVVR9 ... ?v...lated

and here's the thread by adidas2go with pics and more detail:zerothread?id=286779

as for the rims, well there isn't a definitive thread for that, longbeachcoupe did made one but it isn't updated a lot, and a long time ago we had an exterior mod sticky with some rims in there too. your best bet is to check out cardomain's site where they have lots of altima coupe being moded and upgraded with new rims, and to check the altima picture threads

At the moment I do like those:

Well I hope that helps a little! Welcome to the club!

Actually you've helped more than I thought anyone with a single post would. The sould clips are beautiful. I have decent speakers with a little sub so the sound is pretty clear, hope little changes to the production system.

As for the wheels, I feel I've looked at every black/polished wheel out there and am starting to compromise with weight, look, and price. Tough to do with a 20" wheel. Why black and 20"??? I honestly don't know, it's what I like. I'm usually very good at keeping a very clean design with all my cars but am a sucker for high profile tires. If I were driving a 350Z, s set of 5Zigen FN01R-C would be the choice. Much cleaner with a race theme.

If I can stomach the money, the OZ Superleggera 3 in Black win hands down for me. A wheel/tire dealer newar me can get a 20x8.5 set for $850 a pc, not bad from tirerack's $1004 each. Ahhhhhh....... what to do..........

Rob,mcheddadi did a great job... not a whole lot more to add... WELCOME TO NICO..

I'm not sure if you're looking for exterior, performance parts only... but additional mods/parts could include

aftermarket NAV unit/DVD playeraftermarket HID headlights, HID foglights

springs will be out soon, none out yet for the coupes, only the 2.5 sedans
