> The “tuning” was in quotes because there is no tuning scene. :rofl Bolt-ons, reflash, gay bodykits and ULTRA budget coilovers is all the aftermarket has ever produced for us, and all they ever will. Why would a company invest in legitimate suspension and engine components when there are assclowns like the guy I linked to in the OP who are just looking to “hook up” their cars? :facepalm:facepalm:facepalm

It’s the same motor, just a different chassis with a marginally better interior. I’ll take an 05-06 SER 6MT over an 08+ coupe any day, the coupe is even girlier than my car lol.

This is my friends car, IMO it looks and rides good.

2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE…

Stillen Fascia/Rockers/Wing  
50/35 Solar Gard Tint  
Eibach Springs  
RacingLine Front/Rear Endlinks  
Stillen Rear Sway Bar  
Nismo Cat-Back Exhaust  
19" Moda MD2 + Goodyear Eagle F1 245/35

Tell me the 4-door looks better. :bh:

Plus he isn’t a mad JDM-yo “tuner” :rofl
