Haha, thanks for the compliments! I hear a lot of mixed opinions about the LED strip but its all good!

Also, this is going to make me extremely out of place here but its a 2.5.

lol, in my defense, I only race the thing in autocross anyways and our courses here in hawaii are extremely tight due to spatial limitations. A V6 wouldn't have done me any good in these conditions. A moderately "torqued" up 4 banger does the job decently.

Looks good. Is that the same road where the people of Hawaii evacuated to for higher grounds in fear of a tsunami last month?

So let me get this straight, it's not a good idea on the Altima but its a great idea on your maxima? lol. I got them from ozium.com

Not really. All I really have from an SE-R is the front and rear bumper. I got both bumpers for a steal and I had hook ups for the paint job. Fog lights are aftermarket....$20 shipped if i remember correctly, that plus $5 for the hanger strap i had to buy to custom fab mounts. The rear spoiler was $60 off of ebay and again, I got hooked up for the paint job.

Total cost for the "conversion" comes out to about $1000...most of the cost accumulated from painting. I know people who's spent $600 alone to get a front lip on their car.

its ultimately cheaper to just trade in the 2.5 and get a 3.5. but i value my upkeep of the vehicle far more than what engine it comes with. IMO, its just not worth it. I'd rather put the $4k into a 300zx or some project car.

You sir, have no sense of humor. Or you don't know what the bear is.
