I have owned Camaro SS's in the past and most recently a 2002 Lexus IS 300.

My car: 2008 SE 3.5 Sedan, black with black leather, 17 inch wheels, rear spoiler, 38k miles, nav, bose, premium package, technology package, sport package, and my fav. feature which swayed me to the Altima over Acura TL, and Audi A4--push button start!

planned mods (in order of affordability)

--5% tint
--Audi-like LED Strips
--4300K HIDs
--Smoked LED Taillights
--Blacked out or aluminum grille with no emblem
--Roof wing (I like this aerodynamic look)
--Borla or Nismo exhaust
--18 or 19 inch M35 wheels
--Stillen lip front fascia + sideskirts possibly


BTW: I ordered this car from Texas, so it will take about 2 weeks to get here.

Can't wait for it to get here, looking forward to talking Nissan mods with all of you and being a good contributor to this site.


Thanks,
Joe

welcome to nico! that's a good starting list of mods, though i would put the HID's over the audi-style LED's and switch it from 4300 to 6000. also, look into lowering your car, either via spring or coils, and getting a rear sway bar to help reduce body roll. you won't be disappointed with those suspension mods, it makes the car feel so much better when you're driving it!

I lurve my coils.

Though I think I'm going to be raising it up somewhere between 0.5" and 1.0" to fit my monster wheels in there without issue, even after rolling the fenders. 19x9.5 +30 in the rear and 19x8.5 +25 in the front worries me.

If I had one recommendation to make, new guy, it's that your car probably has plenty of power off of the assembly line. I'd consider handling mods first.
