Welcome to AG!!! The pics are awesome! I love seeing photo shoots in gritty places like this. Car looks great for it being done by hand.

excellent choice on the polisher... will make polishing/waxing much easier. a good clay to throw into the mix before wax or polish is Pinnacle's Poly Clay.

I am so jealous of your ride. I wish I had waited till I found an SE-R. Oh well, atleast I got my 3.5 for a 2.5 price.

Looks like your lowered on the RL springs? How do you like them? Ive been wanting to lower my altima, but am worried about clearing curbs to get into parking lots and such.

Sweet toke me for ever to pick one out.

Im looking to upgrade to better products.
Anything ya'll recommend?

My roof is badly oxidized I could not get all of it out.
Here's a test spot. picture makes it look better but still dosnt pop like the rest of the car.

Lol. Your absolutely right RL springs. The springs are great. Ride is not bad. and yeah curbs on the front bumper are a problem.
Lower your car its by far the best visual mod! I look at factory photos and wonder why i didn't do it sooner.
The front wheel gap is so bad on these cars

Yeah, it is really really bad. I dont see why they didnt design the front fender to cover more of the tire? It makes no sense to leave a such an ugly gap.

So do you scrape the exhaust/underbody at all? I know our subframes are pretty low to begin with.

Since day one Ive wanted to lower mine. Ive just been afraid to try it out.

It scrapes on speed bumps due to my custom y-pipe being so low.
other then that everything clears. Have had no problems what so ever, and roads are really bad around here.
Do you have any mods?

 

[timaishu]

I dont have any mods. I do have magnaflow stainless steel 4-inch tips though! Haha, makes it looks slick. The 250hp VQ is plenty quick for me.

I would love to do some mods though, Im thinking I could make it sound a little nastier by doing a resonator delete. I saw a vid of a guy who posted vids of his stock, resonator delete, and straight pipes and it sounded pretty good. Just a little raspier.

It is my daily driver though and my only car so I dunno. Also we have dumb restrictions here in cali. I was at one point going to get a nismo CAI but I flaked out of the deal once I heard about our carb restrictions.

But damn do I want to lower the thing! You can see the gap in my avatar. I was parked on a slope so it made it less noticeable. On a flat road its a bit higher.

Are you a member of nissanclub?

 

[BobbyG]

Your Altima looks gorgeous and I really like the composition of the photos. :dblthumb2:


Many of the shots show depth and thought. The last photo on an angle adds an interesting perspective and I tell people all the time...Tilt the camera for a nice affect...

I could never live there due to that. Every car I have wouldn't pass. Texas We dont have Emissions testing or a very strict inspection. Good thing because my Altima is Heavily Modded

Yes, I am same user name.
My car is actually on the home page right now for NOTM (Nissan of the month) thats the reason for this Detail/Photoshoot

 

[Dust2Glory]

good looking car, nice to see someone close by
