Hello Fellow Nicolodians,

My name is Sean and I recently joined NICO. When I was 18 (many years ago) I owned a 1981 Datsan 200SX hatchback. Last month I picked up my new 2010 Nissan Altima Sedan, Super Black. The only change thus far is to drop in a K&N Engine Filter, which I did on the day I took delivery.

Next week I will be taking it to have all of the windows tinted with 3M non-metallic 35% VLT. I think that I will hold off on any engine modifications until I research further; currently I am getting 39 highway/ 33 city MPG and I do not want to loose fuel efficiency.

Additionally, if anyone is selling their OEM 16" alloy rims (5-114 x 7") please contact me so we can talk. For some reason, my dealership put on steel rims with wheel caps and I would like to change them out.

I will post photos as soon as I have something worthy of posting.

Welcome to NICO!!! The fact that your efficiency is that good is amazing. I wouldn't touch a thing!

Thank you for the warm welcome. Yeah, my wife's Camry (K&N Engine Filter) gets really great fuel efficiency, but on our last trip from Frederick MD to Pittsburgh PA we used the Altima and was also AMAZED. I really don't want to change anything in the engine, but I would like to make minor upgrades to the exterior. It also helped that I used the cruise control on the highway, as well as Mequiars Clay bar, Mequiars Polish and two coats of Mequiars NXT 2.0 wax surely didn't hurt.
