Hello, I am new to the Altima Coupe Forum and have quite a few questions, due to the fact that I am looking at getting a coupe, and also intend to "mod" it. Unlike some people, I would spend my money to make the appearance of the car look better rather than performance, so looks come first in my book :-). Ok so here are the questions:

1. I noticed a guy on here with rims called MSR 042. These rims are 20 inches and I was wondering if they would fit if I dropped the car, which leads me to my next question.

2. I only know two lowering kits in my price range but I would like opinions on both, the TEIN S and the Eibachs. Also, please give information on any others that are around that price and would fit the rims listed above.

3. http://www.tiresbyweb.com/p-8050-msr-st ... heels.aspx <----- That is the website in which I would buy these rims from, but I was wondering if any of those options would fit due to the fact that I do not know the bolt pattern, or what most of those numbers mean ( I am such a noob hah )

4. What type of grille do these guys have, and also, have either done any body mods in order to get the front ends to look like this, btw if one of these is your car, NICE RIDE! lol.

5. The Altima Coupe I am looking at is a 2008, but it has the really crappy (in my opinion) looking spoiler, I believe it is the ebay aftermarket one. Is there any way that I could take that spoiler off and replace it with a stillen lip spoiler or the g35 spoiler with brake light without having to fill in where the original one was put in? Like would the new spoiler cover it?

6. How is the sound quality/loudness in the AC?

I think that is all I really have to ask so far about the Altima Coupe for now (sorry it was so long), but once all these mods are on, I will most definitley be back with all the performance questions! :) ( even though all the power is going to the wrong wheels :P )


Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

1. Most of the guys here would say stay with 18"-19" I prefer 19" I use to have 20" but sold them they where too damn heavy!

2. Eibach and Tein are only ones out, similar price I got Eibachs for $210 shipped

3. Refer to the wheel section for fitment and specs:

RIMS the-rims-thread-post-a-sideshot-take-a- ... 95986.html


4. That's the C-Mod Grille and the Grille + Stillen Lip Spoiler on the second one. I have Both

5. Spoilers. there are several on Ebay so we would need more info. it may be screwed on so if you take it out you would have the holes.

6.Sound quality, again more info needed? Audio deck, in-cabin "quietness", exhaust, etc. if you are reffering to the exhaust then most of us have RacingLine's Ypipe and an aftermarket exhaust.

Search around, there is plenty of good info.

The spoiler that is on the car is the same as the one on the black altima coupe listed above. And by sound quality I meant the audio system, but thanks for your help! :) ( i like your rims too btw, are those the g37 ones?)
