What do you think? I have mixed feelings but probably the most aggressively fitted Altima

Pretty cool, I'd love to see more angles. It looks a little too aggressive but could just be the picture. I could see this putting down like 600hp to the rear wheels and making tons of sense haha but then it's just an A/C so it's a little overkill. Either way I'd love if my coupe looked like that!! It's cool

On a side note, my next move is gonna be some 3/10 tint so my tails can look just like that!

to me it looks kind of crappy. like half a**'d. Instead of making the fender pop out just a tiny bit it looks like their are too many lines. If the fender was rolled to where the white line would be where the red line is, and it had sideskirts and end caps, it would look hella sick!

and these are the end caps I'm talking about

Yeah I was just about to point that out too. The setup is nice but the fenders arent on point

I'm honestly not a huge fan only because of the poor quality of the fenders. Other then that its a good look! I seen the car also this past weekend he lives in poinciana

Not a fan of stretched tires, looks unnatural and unsafe.

Looks pretty good to me, but not really my cup of tea. Dont get me wrong, It can be pulled off nicely. AlexM and NismoGXS have two of the best "stanced" ACs I think Ive ever seen. Its just not something I would ever do to my DD. I get the whole VIP thing and a lot of times its done right. A lot of times it isnt. I think this one is a little too much.

Your head would explode on Stanceworks.com

I'm not a fan of the fitment.

It's a lot of work, and very mangled fenders, but he's not getting the 'hellaflush' fender-meets-rim like AlexM and Oilsink had.

Very little function, and the haphazard fitment needs work.

IMO I like it because of his baller a** wheels. The front is on point but the rear looks too high kinda reminds me of a stink bug.

1) Good lord I hate that forum. Im almost tempted to report your post just so the mods can delete the link (j/k, but not really, kind of)

2) If this is the same car, which Im pretty sure it is...WTF? This is absolutely hideous...

Those a** clowns voted him into some kind of ride of the month. Not enough faces to palm...

EDIT: Flores Id say you sit about 2" lower than him. Had he rolled/pulled the fenders properly and tucked some tire it might be OK. But where its at now is not doing it for me.

not for nothing though.. i've chilled with him several times and drove around with him & if you see his car rolling down the street or highway the car actually look MEAN AF.. most of you guys are going off the pic which is understandable..

like i said if you see the car in person it looks super aggressive n super mean.. i would only redo the fenders again to give them a smoother look

I bet it looks nice in person and especially from the front but it's too high for the traditional "look" to me. But thats the trade off of having very aggressive wheels, can't go as low.

that's why its nice to have a happy medium, and not try to one-up everyone else all the time. oilsink, alex, and the other dude with bbs reps on here all have their setups on point. this guy, however... is just trying to hard. imo.

First one; If thats how it drives, almost willing to bet he goes through axles and hub bearings every 5-7k. that aside, uhm.. :facepalm:

Second one; not too bad, still dont like it :(! AlexM has a very clean extreme (imo) drop :)!

Like I said before, I get the stance thing. But it originated with the VIP movement. Cars like the above are not VIP status. There are rules to this s*** and if you arent doing it right you shouldnt even try. When your Honda hatch's duck billed front end matches your duck toed wheels you arent doing it right.

"But if he didnt have the camber he couldnt fit the wheels". Exactly. If it needs to be that much and that stretched to fit it aint right IMO. I want to kick that f*** thing.

*Pardon my French, Ive had a few drinks.

Clean!

Different strokes for different folks.. Can you imagine that thing coming at you from the other side of the road? Super aggressive! But then once you see the rear its a whole other story haha.

A lot of work and $$ probably went into it so you gotta respect that even if its not your cup of tea
