Have new 3 minor body mods. First is my G35 Spoiler with LED brake light. Installed it myself then CF roof and tint by Executive Paint Pro http://picasaweb.google.com/Ex...Fiber# and 1 perfomance mod my intake Takeda installed.



Next is my roof overlay, Carbon Fibered Roof and 5% Tint Job on rear and 2 side by Executive Paint Pro. They did a nice job









Getting Rid of my current rims and replacing it all black no pinstriped what so ever. Just black. This was actually my stock 2010 rims but powder coated in matte black. just gonna buy tires 245/45/18 Front and 275/50/18 lets just hope it fits lol

So if your interested in CF wrapping, tint, paint protection, detailing and your from the tri state area CT, NY, NJ then he is your guy http://execpaintpro.com/ just mentioned my name Rich The Altima with CF roof

looks nice man, few questions though. is your roof cf real cf or an overlay? can you get a closeup pic of it cause it just looks black. and how do you like your takeda intake? most people have gone with the other brands and takeda's pretty new.

and you want to get 275/50/18?? i would be shocked if that fit. you'll be rubbing everywhere

1st 2010 coupe i LOVE

Ok now you deff need to get rid of ur 3rd brake light in the window as in the rear window one. Keep the spoiler one but the window one now looks dumb n it shows u modded it. Itll look alot cleaner w/out the rear one. Plus w/ the led spoiler u should match it w/ some led tails n blk em out to go w/ ur new theme blk n white. I mean these are jhust suggestions i love the seats bro i want the 2010 i think lol........

Next please email me [email protected] i need some close up pics of ur roof n i have some ?'s bout it

ah so it is just an vinyl overlay. how does that stuff look up close? does it look obviously fake or is it a pretty decent imitation of real cf? i've been wanting to overlay my hood but i'm afraid that it'll look cheap and easily tell that it's not real cf.

Looks good but you really need to post up close up pics of the CF vinyl roof. It just looks like a flat black overlay. And who's freaking FJ is that? Is that the TRD edition? That thing is HAWTNESS Loving the snorkel!

how durable is that stuff? i ask because if anyone uses it as a hood overlay they're going to get rocks flung at it non-stop. as a roof overlay i don't think that would be an issue.

your ride looks nice though man, you should get it debadged

OP, ever thought about throwing a layer of resin and non fading clear over the carbon fiber roof? It will hold up MUCH better to the elements that way... the first time you get some bird discharge on their, the ammonia in the nitrogenous waste is gonna have a field day with that carbon fiber roof!!!! Just some food for thought!

Good job with the car so far!

After seeing this, it's totally obvious to me that if you're going to get the red interior, WINTER FROST FTMFW. Man, I never thought I'd say it, but it's SUPER SHARP! Way sporty looking.

Out of curiosity, doesn't bluebatmobile make a gloss black overlay for the ACs? That whole idea makes me want to hunt down a 2010 in White w/ Red leather and trade my 08!!!

I've never been a fan of those XXR wheels (plus isn't everyone doing those on this forum? ) but the powdercoated stockers are going to look amazing, and honestly the XXRs don't look bad at all with the flow you have.

I'm loving the car man, but for the love of God, please don't get monster tires for the back. Those belong on Mustangs - not ACs. If you must, do a staggered wheel setup so you can accomodate a wider tire (I'm not a fan of staggered wheel setups on FWDs, but to each his own)

Also - on an 18" wheel, don't go lower than a 40 series tire - 35 is just too thin for 18s and it will throw the whole wheel tire combo flow off terribly. IMHO - it will make it look like you took the wheels off a Civic and bolted them onto your Altima without changing anything.

Anyway - my two cents. You have me wanting to spend my first-time-homebuyer's tax credit on a down payment now for a 2010. Thanks haha

Thnx xenon for the compliment bro. See i knew i can change peoples mind on how they look at red leather hehe, but overall i do love my ride and will continue to post pix with mods but as of now i'm running low on money tryin to get ma hands on that y-pipe so it brings out my borla exhaust even more, but thats in the future after i get my car debadged and some tires. I will also consider your opinion on the tire combo bro, thnx a lot.

I have to agree with xenon on the wheels. I was running 45 tires and this set I have on now is 40. Makes a big difference in the looks. I noticed a slight difference in the wheel gap. Going back up to 45s once I run through these 40s.

Yes I use to have one. I sold it to get this. I miss it at times but don't regret getting rid of it. Is your brother's auto or 6MT? Mine was 6Mt and was HORRIBLE in gas!

I was looking into that stuff too. It seem's a bit expensive for a vinyl overlay but here is a website that sell's the stuff. They advertize 4 year life spand outside and 12 year indoor but it looks awesome. Nice job on you A/C dude.

Thats the exact Cf overlay they used on mine the 3M Di-Noc. It's an expensive film but that's what sponsorships are for.. I was planning to do my whole hood and my side mirrors too but I think I should it it easy hehe I don't want to over decorate ma ride..

about $100 per rim and if you want pin stripe thats an extra $10 per wheel. I can prolly talk to my powder coat guy and give nico members 80 to 85 per rim...
