Hey guys, I'm new to the site and was hoping you could answer some questions...

My dream car is the GTR but obviously it is expensive so I purchased the altima coupe back in 2010. I am looking to put this GTR lookalike front bumper. It is made for the altima coupe but will it fit well? Is it made of a sturdy material? I know nothing in regards to this.

Also, I wanted to get some headlights, what are the best ones for a 2010 altima? I really like the look of this and want something similar

Are these a good brand?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I've never really heard of AITRacing or "Lightwürkz", but Stillen makes solid stuff.
With the body kit, you'll probably have to do a little massaging to get it to fit perfectly, and it will require some prep work and paint, so be sure to budget for all that.

The AIT Bumper will fit with no issues, but it obviously needs paint.

The headlights you posted on STILLEN's website will not fit your 2010 coupe, those are made for 2008-2009 coupes.

The one lightWerkz makes is not really headlights, it's a halo kit that you install.

Will the bumper be decent quality? I don't want one that will chip easily and look poor aesthetically.

The website says 2008-2010, no?
Any head light recommendations?

This is my first car and I am new to modification. Any other relatively cheap mods with large payouts? I have an air intake and am considering stillens cat back exhaust system.

Here's my car as of now

Thanks for all the help, I didn't realize there was a community solely for altima coupes! This is awesome.

Yeah, AIT usually makes pretty good products. I have their carbon fiber trunk.

Unfortunately with 2010+ headlights you will need a shop that will do custom work on it. No aftermarket support for those yet.

You seem like you're on the right track, only thing I recommend is a drop (coilovers)

Unfortunately, there aren't any other ones. Some members have baked their headlights open and blacked it out themselves but that's a risky project. Cheap, but risky.

I knew you were going to say that. Had to ask anyway. Maybe I'll just through them in the DPF kiln at work and see what happens. That will bake them. I like some things about the anzos, but not my fave...and for 400 and some change, I just can't like some things lol.
