It's beauty
This is the difference with and without the grille.
THIS IS A 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S. IT'S GOT 2,000 MILES AND I KNOW THAT UNBELIEVEABLE. I JUST GOT IT TWO MONTHS AGO AFTER SELLING MY CIVIC ALSO ON CARDOMAIN. IT'S STOCK BUT SOON WILL BE WILD.
I HAVE A LITTLE DIY FOR THOSE WHO WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT
I PAINTED MY HUBS. I KNOW ITS KINDA WIERD BUT I HAD TO DO SOMETHING UNTIL I GET MY RIMS IN TWO WEEKS.
-FIRST BUY A PAINT CAN (THATS ALL IT TOOK ME ONE CAN)THATS AHESIVE TO PLASTIC. ITS GOING TO BE LIKE $5.00 AND THEN CLEAN THE HUBS AS GOOD AS YOU CAN. I USED FORMULA 88 BUT OTHERS WILL DO.
-THEN TAPE OFF PART OF HUB YOU DON'T WANT PAINTED WITH 3M MASKING TAPE. BLUE TAPE.
-START PAINTING. IT TOOK ME APROX. 1 HOUR WITH CLEANING AND PAINTING.
-AFTER PAINTING LEAVE IT TO DRY FOR ABOUT 30 MIN. THEN REMOVE TAPE.
-FINAL TOUCH PRESS DOWN ON ALL PARTS OF PAINT ESPECIALLY AROUND THE BOARDER OF THE PAINT AND ORIGINAL HUB.
-FINISHED THIS IS HOW MINE LOOKED.
I WANTED FOR IT TO LOOK LIKE IT HAD A LIP. AND I KEPT THE NISSAN SYMBOL IN THE MIDDLE INTACT.
BEFORE (painted hubs)
AFTER (painted hubs) AFTER (Real rims)
BELOW ARE OTHER PICS TAKEN RAMDOMLY.
I was able to get my rims for my baby finally, but this is only the beginning.
The rims I got were U2 Wheels they are not very known but I got hooked on their design as you can see!
They look tight as hell and with the nitto 555 as the protection they ride good too even if they are 20s. No rubbing issue whatsoever, I got a rear fender gap of the thickness of two fingers. In the front im going to lower it because I got four finger gap. Following are some shots with the rims on! What do you think?
Ok latest update, I ordered the grille and I converted my trunk to flip-flop.

I also went to a car show that was pretty good because everything was free from registration to food so I had fun.
This are some pics from it.
Oh by the way the baby blue eclipse is my buddies' ride, its pretty tight thats why he has those trophies.
