hey guys i just found some time to reserch some of the forums nd i liked this one... so HEY :wavey:

i mostly liked it because looking at the sigs i saw alot of stuff i want to do to the alti coupe.

for starters, its not my car. its my moms she just got it but ill be doing all the modifying etc to it

the car has a little less than 30k and is the 3.5 model with black leather interior and the bose system it sounds pretty good for stock. its grey ill make a sig later when she gets home maybe... lol

im a mustang guy at heart but i really like the coupe.

here we go, she wants tint so im going to put 20% all the way around and headlight and taillight tint.

for the lights im going to put vinyl so she can take it off easy if needed

I HATE THE GRILL ugliest thing on the car so what are some remedies for that?? i saw some talk about a c-mod grille? where can i find that and also the stillen lip

any other tasteful inexpensive mods i should be aware of??

eventually i want to talk her into a pro-kit to lower the car and make it less 4x4 looking :dblthumb:

then some 18's possibly

Welcome to the forum! We have quite a few altima gurus so i'm sure they will chime in for mod help. Sounds like you have a cool mom wanting to mod and all. Post some pics of the new car!

use tinypics or imageshack to upload pics

you can find the lip online stillen.com also cmod on ebay. If you need overlays LBC has them or Bluebatmobile. If you need them installed let me know I can install them if your near NYC.

ok i looked up the cmod on ebay... ehh i dont like the mesh it looks "ricer" to me i feel like it would get dirty and look like poo over time. im thinking for the altima coupe the roof vinyl in gloss black would be sweet looking also

is there a way to get this grille without the whole stillen front fascia???Image



as far as instillation i couldnt be further :D i live in FL haha but i can install myself im a mechanic by trade but ive been tinting cars for like 4 years now.

No...unless you custom built something. That's not a separate grille, its actually a part of the entire fascia.

Yea you could vinyl that area too not a problem. I could give you gloss or matte black let me know. That's great then you shouldn't have a problem. I mean if you wanted I could even send you vinyl if you like Corey's car. When I send it I also send it with an Install Guide, this makes it easier for people like you who seem handy at doing it. Let me know if you have any more questions I've been here for a while at this point :mike

I could be wrong but I'm 90% sure shes a girl too ??? If so come out to the next show instead of pics. Its actually mad fun and we need more girls at the meets other than models. Granted you can model but having an A/C and modeling is better :P.

:rotflmao yeh im a guy im just humoring you all... im an established memeber on a couple forums since im a mechanic i work on various cars but yeah i guess if i was a girl this would be way better... plus me and my mom are really close so i can make jokes like that and its not creepy. but i jsut talked to her shes excited to get pictures of her car haha shes like " omg its so dirty idk about that" lol im like pshh photoshop.

when i initially posted the "modeling" i didnt think it would make a turn this way and i just kinda went with it but seriously :fap: is a :nono:

im more excited that when she got the car she started making a list of mods she wanted i was like hell yeah :mike

btw these are the wheels that i have Image

their 18x9 up front 18x10 in back 255/35/18 and 275/35/18 with a 22mm offset up front and 24mm offset in rear

they might rub lol...

sup noobert! you can take a look at my car if you want some modding ideas (i have some of the mods you're talking about, plus my coupe is the same color). btw, cheap fix to make the grille look better? 2 words for you dude: overlays, plastidip! I actually had my mustache pieces painted dark slate at the same time that i had my stillen sideskirts/front lip painted, but the overlays actually match the color of the car really well, assuming you can put them on with minimal ripping or bubbles. and using plastidip to blackout the nissan burger as well as the emblems on the back of the car definitely add a subtle touch on a dark slate coupe ;)
