'09 Altima Coupe 2.5S

[SexaCuti0n3r]

So I've finally decided to do some mods to my car. Nothing too special but it's a start.

Current Mods:
Racingline Short Throw Shift Kit
DDM Tuning 5000K 35w HID's
Interior (crocodile alligator ) LED's and License Plate LED's
Debadge (does this count? lol)

Future Ideas:
Eibach Pro Springs Kit
Smoked Tail Lights (GTR Style)
Racingline Front Strut Bar
Window Tints
Axel-Back Exhaust (not sure which brand)
Possibly new wheels
Weighted Shift Knob

Any suggestions?

Gonna take more pics but I need a better camera (shitty camera phone). Still waiting on an LED for the dome light inside my car.

I dunno if Nissan offers tuners/tunes... but if they do its something to look into...

A tuner is one of the best mods to get for a car... it adds hp/tq to any new mod you add to the car...

so say with a cold air intake you gain 3 hp/tq... with the combined tuner you can make some where around 4-5hp/tq... not alot but every bit helps =)

So it just adds more hp/tq to any upgrade you get.

(only down side is you may need a tune for any upgrade you do im not sure how your car is setup.)

Some cars offer chips, but you gotta be carefull with them... some are knockoffs

So trying to take the pictures of the lights at night was an ultimate fail. I'll probably post up some daytime shots of different angles but it's pretty much bone stock.

Oh yea, a few ideas I forgot to mention were fog lights and and eye lids. Oh and how do you guys feel about lights in the foot wells? For example:


It'll function with the door/map/dome lights when the doors are open so it won't always be on. Ricey: yay or nay?

Haha, me too. I wish I had more funds at the moment.

Since you mentioned it, I looked on the forums and I believe for my car (4 cylinder), people mentioned a chip. However, for your car, is there any difference in MPG? My car after all is an economy car so I'd like to keep it efficient as possible

You can choose between an economy tune or performance tune. I gained probably 1-3 mpg on the economy tune...

I have a tuner though so i can add a couple more tunes if i choose. Im pretty sure with chips you can only have 1 tune at a time.

Double check on when you neeed new tunes though, because some cars need a tune with just a cold air intake... whereas others you dont need a new tune for every upgrade...

This would go very well with an exhaust upgrade...

Hm interesting... I'll have to check if any of the members experienced any gains in MPG. But for now, I'm leaning towards the show mods. As far as the headlights go, I really want to do something about the amber color so I was thinking of GTR style overlay or eye lid.
