i was gonna say it looked like someone left some sticky stuff on the button!
It has a black mesh grille, probly something off Ebay along with the ok taillights he has on it. At least he didn't get the chrome ones! I'm getting the stock tails and factory rims at my shipping cost when he goes on leave.
On the dash, it's residue from double sided tape. He had satellite radio in the States, but since it doesn't work here, he got rid of it.
I took some off with my fingernail, so a little cleaning will take it all off.
...I just can't understand why he put it ON the hazard button, though
I'm paying $10,500 for it and a total of $10,850 with GAP insurance. Interest rate is 6% for 60 months. Seeing as I nearly paid off my $9999 loan I had on the SVT in 2 years, should be no problem (especially if I put my dollars to work when I get deployed).
Maybe in 2 years or so I'll trade up for a WRX or 9-2x (if I can find one).

Very nice! I love the front bumper on the SE-R Sentras. The color is pretty wild too.

Very nice. Followed one of these puppies for a while driving home one night and they are pretty quick. Nothing the SVT couldn't handle though!

I was pretty impressed w/my friend's stock audio equip in his Xterra. I think it was something like 500W. Not too shabby from the oem. Does Nissan usually go big w/th their audio?
Yep, I have seen Sentras' gauge clusters; absolutely ridiculous.
They're not shabby with the audio at all. I have 200W 7-speaker stock Bose audio in my Nissan, and that car's nearly seven years old. With the crowd they're appealing to with the SE-R and other vehicles in their lineup these days, I'm not surprised that they offer such audio systems.

Very nice. A friend of mine here just picked up an 05 in all black. It was a bit of a transition for him since his list of vehicles has been 66 impala, 94 thunderbird, 03 f150, and then the spec V. Have fun with it.

I'm suprised everyone likes it My plan is to leave this thing as close to stock as possible and replace my SVT as my daily driver. That way, I can get some stuff done on the SVT and not worry about having to put it all back together at the end of the day.

So I found out that my g/f's aunt and uncle own a section of land on this awesome private lake outside Hamburg. Couldn't resist a couple of pictures of the Sentra on the last day I was there...  Click for 1600x1200 full size.  Click for 1600x1200 full size. Now I just have to get the SVT up there and get some more! Oh, and over the whole trip (9 days) from here to Berlin to Hamburg to Stuttgart gave me these results for fuel economy: Tank 1: 99% highway / Between here and Berlin (in East Germany)
30L (7.93 Gallons)
185 Miles (297.7 Km)
6.2 Miles/L (23.33MPG) (10.1L/100Km)
Tank 2:
90% highway / In Berlin
40L (10.57 Gallons)
283.4 Miles (456.1 Km)
7.1 Miles/L (26.8MPG) (8.8L/100Km)
Tank 3:
95% highway / In Hamburg
35L (9.25 Gallons)
256.4 Miles (412.6 Km)
7.3 Miles/L (27.7MPG) (8.5L/100Km)
Tank 4:
99% city / In Hamburg
40L (10.57 Gallons)
223.8 Miles (360.2 Km)
5.6 Miles/L (21.2MPG) (11.1L/100Km)
Tank 5:
80% highway / About halfway between Hamburg and Stuttgart
35L (9.25 Gallons)
247.7 Miles (398.6 Km)
7.1 Miles/L (26.8MPG) (8.8L/100Km)
Tank 6:
95% highway / Patch Barracks in Stuttgart
41.13L (11.39 Gallons)
272.5 Miles (438.5 Km)
6.6 Miles/L (24.0MPG) (9.8L/100Km)
Total Trip (to Stuttgart at least):
~83% Highway driving
221.13L (58.96 Gallons)
1468.8 Miles (2363.7 Km)
6.6 Miles/L (25.0MPG) (9.4L/100Km)
All numbers in parenthesis are calculated by me (and Google!) due to my car reading in Miles and the gas stations reading in Liters. The first 5 tanks (180L) were in 5L increments due to the AAFES gas coupons I purchased for Esso stations off base, which have 5L as the lowest coupon.
Currently at about 1/2 tank with 150 or so miles on it (horrible mileage driving thru a big ass rainstorm Sunday night).
I'm overall disappointed with those numbers due to my SVT getting nearly identical or better numbers in a larger, more powerful, and faster car... WTH?  Of course, it was with A/C on nearly the entire time, so maybe a couple MPG sucked up there.
I'm sure glad Nissan decided to go with the 2nd overdrive as 6th gear instead of making 5th 1:1. Also the fuel cutoff is at 130MPH on these things, but barely has the power to get there in 6th
