Traded in my 2008 Altima 2.5S Sedan with 2600 miles today for a 2008 Altima 3.5SE Sport package rig. 2.5 liters of fury just wasn’t enough for someone used to 6.0L+, so I ate 7 grand today for trading in the 2.5S. Might be the first person in history that paid $36,000 for a V6 Altima. Oh well, makes the wife happy, so whatever. Glad it has the sun roof, fogs, spoiler, and tint done at the factory, so I don’t have to round up those parts. Intake and exhaust are on the line up, doing the exhaust tomorrow hopefully, depending on if my bud’s shop is busy. Gonna try out a couple of his coffin mufflers on this bad boy (love the way they sound on dad’s 68 GTO, and my 02 Z71 Tahoe with pumped 6.0L LS1), will report back. Glad to be a part of the group!

Well, about a year ago I decided I hated the silver pieces surrounding the shifter, a/c controls, lower cubby and window controls on each door. I painted them with a light black hammered color to match the seude and keep the black theme throughout. It turned out so well that after much deliberation, I decided to dive a little deeper into my painting project. I’ve always hated the tan color that is everywhere from the bottom of the windows and up. The roof fabric was ugly and all the plast...
