i also ordered new headlights since the ones on there right now are oxidized beyond belief.

the car is in the shop at the moment getting checked out, but everything should be on the car in the next few days. I will update with finished pics and pics as the car progresses.

What do yall think?

i like the wheels, gonna look good bronze

paint that chickenwire **** black, it'll actually look good

repped

[Logan]

The mesh would look good black.

Drop that thing, and it will be even better.

Never seen any modded altimas before. +1 on originality.

[WannabeSpecV]

right after i got it i painted the mesh black, but didnt get any pics since then. it will be dropped sometime next month, just waiting for christmas for some extra cash

[JITB]

dont paint those wheels gold, it will look funny..

just get some lower profile tires, and when u lower it they will look better.

[WannabeSpecV]

the wheels on the other side are pretty chipped (paint only) so im going to need to respray them anyway, and i was thinking a dark bronze not gold.

[JITB]

well i guess u can experiment, with the color.. uc an always go back to the black.. To me they look good like they are.

[SrFoEva]

black dude....all black wheels

:goodjob:Let me know if you need help man

I definately will... i plan on going turbo this summer, just got to piece the kit together. a buddy of mine has a turbo and SMIC that he is gonna sell me for cheap, so all i need is a fuel management unit and piping.

[WannabeSpecV]

and before anyone asks, i got the header and intake as a gift. and i figured it couldn't hurt right now while i piece together my turbo kit.

Just to let you know be ready on this turbo kit... its a pain... SMIC = HELL NO... you need a front mount and make sure the turbo is good... go T28 if you want quick spool or t3 if you arent planning on running stock internals... shoot me a pm with your number and ill tell you how to piece you a kit the way i did... ended up spending 1300 for the whole kit

[Bruce Leroy]

Don't paint the wheels. They look great how they sit.

[JITB]

[yerrow]

nope, lost them all

[Chuckster]

Seen alot of old altima's heavily modded and clean. Seen alot of crappy ones aswell, almost everyday on cobb pkwy. Just dont let yours be one of those crappy ones.

[WannabeSpecV]

just a little update, the new headlights and the CAI were installed tonight... waking up early tomorrow to finish her off. should be done by tomorrow afternoon if things go smoothly.

[Ails85]

dont see many altimas...g/l +1

[blackshine007]

I once wanted an altima. I love the way they look. Then I found out they were way heavier than the 626. I didn't see many altima's in the junkyard. I was worried when it came to getting expensive parts. There was more space under the hood of the 626 and it seems like everytime you sneeze, you're bound to see one in there. I liked that so I bought a 626. 3 626's later, I'm still addicted to them. Nice work in progress

Ive owned 1 altima... youve owned 3 626s.... no wonder you hate me :lmfao:

[WannabeSpecV]

Update #2: Have to replace the EGR tube... had to be cut to get the old header off. hopefully getting one at the dealer tomorrow. called it a night after getting the top part of the header on. all i need to do tomorrow is connect the downpipe and test pipe and start respraying the wheels (black), but it will be finished tomorrow minus the EGR tube.

I wrecked the first one (walking tree season FTL), I bought another that looked exactly like the one I wrecked and had it for all of 2 weeks until my sister wrecked it (women drivers FTL). This one's treating me good though. BTW, I might be owning a 4th one in the near future just for you. Can you say got boost? :tongue1:

[.gauge.]

I own two now. My first mod was lowering springs. Stock Altys sit like trucks.:goodjob:

[95alty]
