Hey guys, finally got my car this weekend! I just took come pics of it today! Anyways, you guys know the details already, 3.5SE, 5spd, fully loaded blah blah. It's imported from canada and has got 70,000 miles! I got it for a pretty good price of $11,900! It needs tires, heatshield rattles and a little brake work (pads) Other than that its clean as hell, its a 1 owner and has every single record ever done to the car on file!

thanks guys, i love the car so far! Adjusting to the speedo is alright, it still has the MPH on the inside however i think im just going to buy an american MPH cluster off ebay or something. Yes, leather seats in the 3.5! I dont know if its super rare but the whole 3.5, 5spd, leather was a tough find!

thanks guys, im looking into doing some mods to it, intake is one the way, still deciding on a short shifter, i was also wondering what front grill i should go with? What are some different styles them make? Lastly, do many people clear the headlights themselves?

looks pretty clean, congrats.

You can get a short shifter from Active Tuning ( www.activetuning.com ), as well as a grille. The popular choice around here for 02-04 Altimas is the S2 grille. Though it is possible to clear your lights yourself, IMO it looks better if you buy the ones with white reflectors that Matrix Racing sells ( www.matrixracing.com ). Also, even though I doubt you still have the Turanzas on the car considering the mileage, I would suggest some decent 235/50s for your car if you're not looking to get rims right now. And a ProKit drop wouldn't hurt either...

^^that grille would not fit your car. its for 05+ models. i fyou must have a billet grille (which isn;t my style, but its your car and your money) check here
Yeah, i really like billet but i dont like how it sits flush, i like how yours sits its just that im not crazy about mesh grill, sometimes it looks like chicken wire fence

^ Have you looked at the AT lux grille. It's a nice alternative to billet grilles. I think it's still a mesh, but it looks nice, and not as "racey" as the S2/5.

DRL=Daytime running lights, which aren't really a bad thing. Just a feature I don't think US guys have.
