Welcome!! Start off with some wheels/tires for the coupe, then I'd lower it as well.

Welcome to the Forums What model did you buy? 3.5 or 2.5? I'm sure you have a lot of questions regarding mods and there are quite a few mods out there for the coupe depending on type you bought. IF all else fails, use the blinking Search button at the top of the page.

WELCOME!

Did you go with a 2.5 or 3.5 and CVT or Manual Transmission?

I agree with others, Nice rims/tires and a suspension drop with Eibach Springs is prolly the best place to start, but also prolly one of the more pricier mods. Most people here have gone with 18-19" Rims, and a couple people have 20", but don't try going any higher than that.

You cant just come right out and ask someone if they are a transmission! You have to build up a relationship first!

ALOHA Bra... welcome to NICO. Great choice of car if I may say. Well the advice I can give you towards mods is to start off with the suspension (lower it, add sway and strut bars) then move on toward the looks which would be wheels, body and sounds. That's my advice. Hopes it helps. And once again welcome to NICO.

Welcome, I would start with some tint and a spoiler if you like them. Then I would go for some intake and then move onto the suspension... However it's probably best for you to pick which way you want to head first whether it's exterior, interior, performance or suspension because all of it's eventually worth.

welcome to the forums bro

as for suggestions... the 1st thing i did was add the drop to the car... wheels are expensive n im broke... lmao... but if you have the money to buy rims then that would be a great 1st mod... it'll change the entire look of your ride!!!

as you can see im still rolling with the stock rims... but hey... i like em still... gonna keep em on till i wear them out...

but where you start is up to you... as for under the hood mods... you can get an intake, but i'm sure nissan would notice it if you take it in for service...

i dont think you can really hide your engine mods though...

again welcome and enjoy modding
