"exhaust" was supposed to be "exhaust tip"... sorry about that...

Still sounds good, though....

Here are pics of the new tires (Fuzion ZRI 215-50-R17) and some of the clearance and looks of the larger tire... feels great, sidewalls aren't exactly exciting, but excellent tire overall!

I have 18s. The only difference I thin kyou would feel is the weight of the rim itself.Mine are chrome are pretty heavy so sometimes I feel lagged out.When I got my new rims which are abour 30 lbs lighter, I'm launching at around the same rpms and feel a much better quality in ride, not to mention better mpg averages.

maybe it's the newer tires... ;p

To answer everyone's questions:

- The city in the background is actually Atlanta... Moving to New York in July...

- The camera is a panasonic LZ7, but the reason that the pictures look like they do is because of Photoshop CS3

- I love Blue Onyx, too!

Thank you guys for taking an interest! As you may know, I am moving, BUT I am NOT giving up my baby!!!!

I'll be in Washington D.C. in June, so if there are any Versa owners that want to get together, let me know!

Oh,

The handling is improved to the point that I don't even recognize my car! The new tires improved that a great deal, but I really think the springs had the most to do with it...

so wait your saying you HAVE changed the exaust tip? If so, does it make a good noise to it..Did it affect the car in any way? The reason im asking, correct me if im wrong, is that i bought an exaust tip and people are telling me that if i get it on the car itll mess up the car...which i dont blieve..by the way whats the name brand nd wat are the measurements of it?

Basically, I put a tip on the stock muffler that I purchased from PepBoys because the square tip accentuates the French design...

It doesn't add any performance, just aesthetics, so I think that the best way to go about considering an exhaust tip is just that: a new look for your little sport hatch!

As far as a cat-back, a great deal of full systems are designed specifically for maximum performance, so the tip may add some kind of flow or pressure based resistance, so be careful not to change around the setup too much...

I got the fogs off eBay, not the blinglights, but rather ones that were designated for an old Sentra because the bulbs I've ordered were just the right size (JDM Yellow) and i liked the look without the LED ring...

Installation was a bit of a pain... I took off the front bumper to make sure the wiring was done just right and I have not had a single problem yet!

It took me about 2 hours of good work to really make sure I got the fog finishers right and to align the fogs correctly.
