i found them now. I gotta browse the forums more to see which one is the better setup for this car. Plus I found a shroud that should work for the G, so I will be redoing the G's lights soon. I didn't really like how the LED ring looks when they are off, and i don't like the Gatling gun shrouds in there too much. I think the E46 extended will work much better.

The Altima isn't being changed anytime soon for me either. Right now my main projects are getting the car prepped for smog, then afterwards time to do get down to the nitty gritty on the turbo project. Why the hell did I get into such an expensive freaking hobby? Now I gotta go back to my night job stripping to make more money.

No lie modding can be a money draining hobby. Even when you try to budget everything it still cost in the long run. Im just happy I did enough to my alti for the time being. I doubt there will be a turbo in the future,but you never know. Next year I may get the roof painted black though. Im focused on paying her off and jumping into my next whip

Luckily the car is good mechanically. I drove the G a lot last week, and i had forgotten how much fun RWD acceleration is compared to FWD. But the G needs some really minor work done and finding the parts is going to be expensive since they are dealer only parts.

I was contemplating a G myself mostly the G37 but dont know if I really want to hop into one money wise especially considering maintenance lol. Im thinking the 3.8 Genesis coupe would be easier to maitain plus about 10 or 11 gs less. Anyway I got a year to make my final decision. You definitely have a fun car though Hopefully you can pick up more retro business to help you get those G parts!

I know you said you wanted to hold off on redoing the Altima's retro but I just saw these.

RX330 AFS with separate custom CNC'd shields for $140. TRS sell the RX330 for $190.

I never did a retro on the fogs. I just changed the halo setup on them. I was thinking about doing a real retro on them since the light output on the these ebay fogs are not anything to write home about.
