I have had my 06 nissan sentra for a year and a half now bought it brand new and doing mods for 08

december got SE-R taillight conversion

january purchased SE-R heads for the conversion as well as Billet Grille and KYb-Gr2 shocks(not installed yet) and nismo CF style lip

this grille was a great buy notice a slight gap on the bottom??? that grille was meant to go on a 00-03 sentra

Im replacing that grille with the jonnyV grille

future mods:eibach springs,foglights (painted yellow),HID's and 04-06 spec V wheels as well as SE-R side skirts??!!

i like the lip dude...but what he said^^....you coulda got a used spec for as much as a 06 1.8 ran you...whyd you go with the 1.8?

tristatesentra · 02-20-2008, 01:04 AM

to answer both of your questions its goin to be stupid answer if you dont understand thats fine. proir to modifying my car I had no interest in getting back into the car scene. since last summer, when I joined NJ tuners these guys knew I was rolling on a standard nissan sentra so with their help and advice this is where my car is today. ok I didn't buy a spec and I have a 1.8S/gxe whatever you wanna call it. but i aint complaining about it. you get what you pay for if Im happy with it thats the way it is. there is those sometimes why didn't I but I like this model im happy with it so thats what im rolling on

Nice.

The fogs will look nicely on there, but I don't think I would install HIDs in those projectors... the glare will probably be terrible.

Gl with the car!

Along the same lines, why didn't you just buy an SI instead of a base civic?

Nice car! At least you won't have to worry about having an engine that sucks down cat, screws, and oil like Ho Hos!

i have HID's in my 03 spec v and the cut offs are amazing. no glare at all. the look really good. so im assuming the 04-06 lights will have the same affect. i know the cut offs in the 04 spec are pretty good with halogen. i also have 4300k which is more white light than color so that probably helps out.
