Sup everyone. Recently singed up with NICOclub.com, noobie. Its a really help source of information. I drive a 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5. No real MODs yet, just a set of 6000K HIDs, debaged the rear emblems and painted the front grill and emblem flat black. Planning on doing something simple, with great outcomes. So far I have a few things in a wish list: Tints, AP Racing 4 Pistons Big Break Kit, Eibach Pro-Kit Lowing Kit, k&N Cold Air Intake, JDM HID tail lights, Stillen Roof spoiler & front lip spoiler. As for rims and wheels, haven't really found the right set yet, looking at maybe some 19s or 20s. So if anyone has an opinion on a set of rims and tires, please let me know or if I should get something different/add anything from the MODs Ive listed above. Feel free to share. :squint:

Welcome!

Unless you're going to track, those BBK's are pretty much overkill and will put a giant dent in your wallet. Tints are cool and a budget must have mod. Eibachs are awesome , plus allows you to clear bumps with relative ease. CAI is cool. Not a fan of HID/LED tails but more power to you. Stillen roof spoiler is cool but not for me, the lip is nice if you drop it on springs. Wheel sizes are all personal preference. Check out some Sumitomo or Hankook Ventus tires.

More cool mods: Exhaust, Headers, BD tune, maybe an upgraded stereo system. Happy modding! :dblthumb:

Welcome!

For wheels I'd go for 19s personally. 20s look big on our coupes imo. But it ll depends on the style youre looking for.
Get ready to drop some dough on your car. Once you start you can never finish. :cool:
And i agree the big brake kit is really pricey but if you got the dough for it get it! lol it will complement your wheels.

Hey thanks for welcoming me.
Yea I agree with you that 20s are to big for the coupes. I also didnt get the 3.5, thinking I wouldnt want to do anything with it. (read your link on you sig)

Yea the break kit was just something I saw, but yea probably wont be getting them.

Like the way your coupe came out at the end. :bigthumb:

Yea the breaks were just something I liked, but wasnt fer sure. But agree that is a big price, and can go towards something else.
Yea my next mod will probably be the Eibachs lowing kit. Already installed the K&N CAI, sounds great, thinking about getting a catback to make it sound better. Id rather get the front lip, if i can find it at a good price. For wheels Ive made up my mind into getting 19s. Also working on a complete stereo system upgrade.

You are right. The break kit is a little to much, and I can use that money for something else. The 2012 breaks are fine. If anything Id just paint them or something simple.

Also I like your rims, the oil slick lip is amazing. What kind of rims do you have ?
