Asafe's Altima Coupe 3.5 Build

[scweet14]

So this is a thread im doing for a friend.

His name is Asafe (uh-sof-aye) haha and this is his 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe

Its the 3.5 V6 of course, and FWD but believe me, thats what i thought at first until i saw what this car can do, its power is underestimated..similar to the Altima SE-R Sedan

Anyways...Onto the Build!!

Day 1:


Engine Bay...After Intake installed...


Then he soon got tired of this and threw on the following:
20x8 & 20x10 Konig Mesh wheels
H.I.D.'s of course
Front and rear light tint
Lowering Springs(not sure what brand at the moment)
Aftermarket billet grille
Dual 4" Exhaust (unknown as well)
And a Megan Racing roof spoiler (carbon fiber)


What it used to look like\/\/






Then he painted the wheels solid matte black and the calipers white


But once he saw the car i bought


He soon wanted to be apart of the "Slammed" & Stanced Family<3

So he sold the wheels and the springs and bought some Megan Racing Coilovers...


And some 19x9.5 Varrstoen TE37 Reps...Yes i know, but he's ballin on a budget...
Wheels wrapped in 225/40/19 all around

And heres the result



But i kept pushing him to go lower and he did, and what a difference!





Then he got tired of the matte black so he copied me! Haha no but it came out amazing!




Now were caught up to date

But just recently...literally like last week (today: 9/26/12) he just got his wheels back from powdercoat!

The blue ones!




Better photos!






The wheels look better in person, online theyre just super bright!

But other than that, thats it so far...when he does something different ill update.

Have a good day guys!

the white looked so good lol

[Swag]

I'd dig it a lot more without the tinted tails and headlights.

White wheels were fresh too.

Any sides skirts or front lip for these?

Fitment is nice though man

ha the tails are so bright though with that red haha, but ya i know what you mean, and stillen makes some front ends, the side skirts are alright but not my favorite

theere are kits for this car, but theyre too ricer-ish

Asafe asked me to upload more photos of it when he had the Konigs painted all black, so im uploading those\/\/

[DannyE32]

i didnt know there was a coupe version of the altima.

i dig it. i'd be better if they were RWD tho

I liked it when the wheels were white. Thats when it popped the most ! looks great on blue no doubt but i have a real soft spot for white wheels lol

[244Brick]

I like it. The blue would better if the wheels were spaced out more.. The color really takes the overall fitment appearance away

im trying to get him to go wider with 10.5 or get spacers but hes paranoid about stuff like that

[244Brick]

i see that, but you got him to go lower

[NorCalFocus]

The white wheels were so much better.

[Isuzupickup]

I've seen these around but no one really modifies them or slams them, so this is neat. Also miss the white wheels.

the thing ive realized with these car, out of no disrepect to my friend, but alot of girls drive these cars and hes just made it unique and very nice, and ya i do too

The white wheels were so much better.

ya but if you saw them in person you would like blue better

i see that, but you got him to go lower

haha true, ill try and convince him so more, he definitely needs to get spacers though

[NorCalFocus]

ya but if you saw them in person you would like blue better

No I wouldn't. I know what I like.
