Hey everyone, I finally made an account here after browsing the past couple months and figured I'd introduce myself. I'm Nick, I purchased a winter frost pearl 2010 Altima Coupe with the VQ, 6-speed manual, all options except nav, with 16k miles on it at the end of November and love it.

So far, I have plastidipped the rims black and coated them in their "glossifier", changed out the trans fluid with Redline MT85 (why Nissan picked such an odd viscosity is beyond me), added Weathertech floor liners and I had it tinted yesterday. There are more things I'd like to do with it, but in the long run, I'm just planning on keeping it clean and enjoying it. :)

And of course, here are some pictures.

The day I got it:

I'm jealous of those leather seats compared to my cloth ones :( - any tips for plastidipping your rims?

It is definitely my favorite color too, and I love it!

I removed my rims from the car, but kept the tires on. I taped off around the edge of the tire and the inside of the rim. Make sure that your rims are completely clean and dry. If they aren't, it won't stick. After that, do several thin coats and stop when you're content. I added their "glossifier" after the plastidip for a semi-glossy look.
