Welcome to CL

Your Altima looked awesome, my neighbor has a red one, and i had no clue they can look that clean!

Mod bug hits you really hard with a 2IS

Nice color combo.....

BTW, for future reference, it's actually called Blue Onyx Pearl , which is important because starting in 07 the blue was slightly different and called Black Sapphire.

Welcome to CL. I love the mods you did to your Altima. I'm sure your IS will turn out very nice!
