Optima SXL

Snow White Pearl

All the packages...

UPDATED FEB 25 2016

I used to own a 2005 Altima. It got me through some tough times living on my own in Chicago. On my way to a Nissan dealership, I came across this hella fresh SXL with all the fixings. After driving a couple newer Altimas, Infinities, Maximas, Subarus, Hondas, I sat down in this CHERRY SXL that was on the lot.
She only had 9700 miles on her.
Looking at the factory sticker, this car has ALL the packages on it. Every single tech option, dual panoramic glass roof, better stereo, top chrome rims, OEM ground skirt with chrome trim, complete performance package.
Sticker lists the vehicle over $36,000.
I'm stoked to mod a car with all the top options unlike other vehicles I've owned.
This is my 7th car.

After being a bit worried about the 4 cyl 2.0 engine in it, I was pleasantly surprised that it had some good pull to it. Not to mention the Optima was the best driving 2013 car I've driven in a long time. Not too much steering or brake assist, and I love the analog feel the vehicle has. It's well balanced, and loves to run at 80 mph and higher.

An hour later, I have the Optima. I'm not mad about buying this car. Being the petrol-head I am, I could not resist to look for crafty modifications to the ride.
So here I am.

Here's the deal. I'm not looking to K-Rice the FFFFF out of this ride. That means, no crazy stickers, wraps, korean scribble, outrageous body kits, stance changes, LED overkill, monster body kits, oversized wheels, etc.

I want everything done tastefully and value-adding with rugged parts. All mods are made to properly reflect a car with carefully chosen parts that will add intrinsic, and emotional value to the car. Basically I want to make it look like the vehicle can be purchased with said mods without breaking the warranty yet push the envelope.

Thanks to stopping by.
