How about some shots that aren't taken on the dealer lot.

Did you buy it like that?

those wheels look very VIP style which is meant more for a slammed sedan look (think infiniti M's or Lexus') I don't think they compliment the coupe

Winter here, haven't had a chance to take some shots of my own. Yes, bought it like that. Added a bra to keep the sand/rocks off the nose during the winter.

Zyoxx ZX9 rims = VIP ? I like them, guess that's all that counts...

Welcome to NICO!

Post up some other angles when you get the chance! I'm curious to see what the grille looks like with the mesh.

How wide are your 20s? Gotta get that drop on there and tuck em in nice. I'm not the biggest fan of chrome, but to each his own. That's the beauty of this forum - you get to see everyone's interpretation of Nissan art.

Have fun man! Lookin forward to more pics!

245's 35 series. Handling is tight, very fun to drive. Ride isn't bad. I'll post a pic of the front for the grille shot later.

I've had a bra on several cars in the past with no issues. A good coat of wax under it isall you need It is just for the winter months. You would not believe the size of the rocks (in the sand) that are put on the roads around here when it snows. They tear up the nose, hood and windshields get pitted big time.

Rims look like they should be on a lux. car/sedan not a coupe ..... I think racing rims would look much better something with more spokes.....

DEF. NEEDS TO BE LOWERED!!!!!!! NO QUESTION FIRST MOD!!!

Well if you really are asking for opinions, I don't like the rims at all, I think they look gaudy, the pinstripe is horrible and the scion spoiler is an insult to the altima coupe. and I don't see from the pic but if that is chrome mess lower and upper then there is no hope for this coupe anymore haha .

but other than the crap tastic mods, I'm sure you will love the car. that 2.5S is a great daily driver stock. I don't know about it with to thin sidewalls and big a** rims but normally its a great a peppy ride with tons of lux and confort if you have the premium pack with leather

I was wondering myself whether that was a pinstripe or just a reflection from the sky.

BTW, welcome to the forum!! The only person who has to like your car is you, so take any criticism with a grain of salt....

On the subject of the rims, I dont think the previous owner put these on the car. Most of the time, the dealer puts on those over the top chrome wheels to catch peoples eyes. Just a tip, most of the time when the dealer is trying to hide something, they put on little things to distract you.

Well, enjoy the ride and Im sure you will find good mods to consider from the forum.

You don't have to tell me Robert! My last turbo project had chrome 18's, but the car flowed well together

20's are where it's at. Not big on the Op's wheels. Maybe if you where to black out the center spokes it would look better. I can't really see alot of detail on the rims but they arn't the worst I've seen. You should also loose the pin stripe. Looks alot smoother with out it. Kinda takes your eyes off the flowing curves.

Andre 3K's verse, but Big Boi mouths the words to Andre in the video...

"my partner yellin' too soon... " Dre speaks in 3rd person rapping about what Big Boi said to him, makes sense to refer to it as Big Boi's words... but technically, yes, its andre's verse

regardless, whether coming from big Boi or Andre, that's a NO GO on the front bra... unless its the 3M clear bra...

honestly I wouldn't even advise gettin the clear bra, I have one and the way the dirt gets under the bra by the wheels looks hella nasty
