I finally saved up some money to modify my car currently: 3.5, Precision Grey w/ 20% tints.

Spoiler:I dont know which spoiler to choose, I have looked through soo many and have nooo clue lol.

Dropping:Should I lower my altima coupe? I dont want there to be a problem with speed bumps and snow.

Rims:What are the best moderately priced rims?

Taillight Overlays:Where can I get some and how do i install them?

Rally Stripes:I'm thinking about getting some. Opinions?

ok where to start. hmm. first off i say yes do lower the car. it makes it look 100 times better and handling will def get better.

as far as the spoiler. i love the stillen spoiler. the only thing i dont like about it is that it is a stick on and not bolt on. but i havent had any problems with mine.

if you get rally stripes then i will personally come remove them for you. (please leave them for mustangs)

as far as wheel im n the same boat as you. im working on getting some now.

and overlays. idk. i personally dont like em.

but i would reccomend rear sway if you want better handling. it will make a world of difference. and exhaust if you want some sexy sounds. an intake will help a little also

Spoiler:No... There's nothing out there that is overly striking IMHO. I'm still waiting on a proper drift-style wing.

Dropping:YESYESYESYESYES!!!!! It'll look so much better and the handling will be outtasight!

Rims:I have no good answer to this. There are so many choices and it really comes down to personal preference. Keep in mind that weight will be a factor in overall performance.

Taillight Overlays:Bluebatmobile & LBC have 'em. Both are high quality products from what I've heard. If you've never done them before, get a pro to do the install.

Rally Stripes:Hot, flaming fuchsia... People will take one look at your ride and think, "Now there goes a man with nothing to hide..."

I creep over speed bumps, its a TINY price to pay to get the look and feel of a lowered car.

x2 x2 x2

it is a very small price to pay. the only problem that i have with scraping is on my exhaust and its just on the clamp that holds the pipes together. the only thing you will have to worry about are curbs and those damn parking bump stops or what ever they are.

I hate those things.

Spoiler:I would go with Stillen if you really want one but I don't know if the subtle change is worth it. It's not in my eyes

Dropping:YES

Rims:I think 19's look the best, but for affordability I say 18's. I had my eye on some Tenzo's but I am second guessing myself now

Taillight Overlays:look good but I tried on a DIY and it didn't work out so I just painted them

Rally Stripes:I say nay, and pray you stay away... but hey. whatever works :D
