Next mod for my Altima
Just ordered some vinyl tint to put on my head lights and tail lights. Hopefully they'll come in on Saturday. I should have some pics up by next week. I'm open to any ideas for another mod if anyone has a suggestion haha

Haha I've only just started doing mods to my car. So far I've only got 8000K HID Headlights, Halo Projector Foglights, and next week the headlight/tail light tints. Oh yeah I ordered some blue LED bulbs for the dome/map lights(Should have those in this weekend). I'm still unsure about who to go with in regards to a CAI, I was thinking Injen but I want to see if there's any other good ones out there. Exhaust, I was looking at Borla. Any thoughts on Borla exhausts?

halo projectors..where did u snag them from I like those. Also borla is very expensive but cheaper than to do a all out bolt on cat back. The universal mufflers I have cost me 214 a piece but I got mine on sale from Amazon.

that sucks...I was thinking of tinting my tail lights, but I think I might go for the same tail light assemblies as Vital...those weird black LED lights
here are some ideas for grille inserts for your altima:
http://www.andysautosport.com/nissan...rille_inserts/
Mine was an overlay insert and I wanted something different from the usual Billet looking ones. I wasn't trying to make mine look like a Cadillac STS which some people thought I was going for. I've seen some 09+ altimas with almost the same style grille around me but I think that was from the SL package or something...

Argh! curse my job's internet filter...blocks almost all the links and images posted on here lol
I actually ordered 3175 Blue SMD LEDs to replace my dome lights, but when I tried to install them I realized I needed 194s lol....lesson learned haha...

not too much even though the claims said 9hp..probably more like 5 or 6hp but I did notice a boost in fuel economy when not having a heavy foot!
Can't wait to get an exhaust since the sound makes it a little ricey. I tried for awhile before the Takeda of removing the factory air scoop on the oem box and put in a K&N drop-in filter. Will have to put it back in when it comes time to smog, but that'll be in 2014!

I understand how you feel about the stock exhaust sound. I really would like a deeper toned exhaust. Right now I'm looking at Borla and MagnaFlow, but based on the videos I've watched, I kinda like the MagnaFlow sound better haha.

the Stillen sounds good as well, but I'm wondering how raspy it would be if you left off the stillen resonator and had a custom pipe welded on
