IDK, the combination of the total rear overlays with the debadged rear makes your car look very plain... looks unfinished, and looks like something is missing...

The left side looks a little clumped but that might just be the reflection I can't tell.Other than that I think it looks pretty good

I made relief cuts on both sides, to make sure tint won't bubble and lift

Why was it a bad install and tell us where you got your rims, have been salivating over them for a day now

They are Axis Elite.

I have 20's. Jersey has 19's. I got them from http://www.need4speedmotors.com and he got them from Tire Rack I believe.

That is correct but I got them at Discount Tire. I searched the internet for several hours looking for the best price and then Discount Tire price matched. The bad thing is when you buy wheels cheap on the internet you might get blemishes and not know it. Well discount tire does not order blemishes so your getting great wheels for the low price of blemishes. Headlight overlays are on the way so they should be easier and I will post pic when they are installed.

Really...I think this would be an awesome case for a decal...

I agree...it has a new born baby butt look to it...just a thought...but I think a logo that said "Coupe" (Or Atl. Coupe) would look really cool...Clearly you don't want "Altima" or else you wouldn't have debaged. Throw it around in your head...but I think something on the trunk handle would be the perfect spot for something, to give it something else and make it more personalized.

If i were going to put something on the back (i wouldnt) id get real letters, vinyl decals are ok, but are flat... If you want something on the back it should "pop" IMO

Man those's overlay look really nice. I had them twice on my black coupe and got fix-up tickets for tinted tail-lights. Has anyone else had this run in with the law??? I want to put them on again, but i dont wanna keep spending money on the same thing over and over again.

I've gotten pulled over due to my tint on my car and because I was in an unsavory neighborhood (I have 5% all around) Anyway, not only did he not give me a ticket for my tint, he just said nice car, and told me to just roll the wondows down if I see other cops that may want to write a ticket for the heck of it.

Anyway, he didn't say anything about my rear taillight overlays, but that's because I got bluebatmobile's GTR curout taillight overlays! I know its not everyone's style, but hey, I haven't gotten harrassed for it yet!

I'm in with the Dr on this one.

I have cutouts in the design - there's no reason for them to pull me over.

My GTR Style Overlays have cuts for the brake and reverse lights, so the lamps arent affected by the Overlay .
