Inside the Fox Marketing Altima is equally impressive, including a particularly creative trunk setup built by Creative Car-Tunes from Lemoyne, PA, where the custom fiberglass enclosure positions the Rockford Fosgate subs and amps such that they resemble a Nissan logo. Up front the clean and classy Euro theme continues, where black leather and red stitched Yonaka front bucket seats, Stri boost, EGT, and oil pressure gauges and a Pioneer DVD-display headunit all look perfectly at home in the high quality interior of this affordable sports coupe.
Amazingly, this head-to-toe overhaul by Fox Marketing and its partners from Artisan Performance, Powell Customs, Bodykits.com and Creative Car-Tunes was completed in time for the NY Auto Show, but with the new Maxima being unveiled Nissan decided to postpone the first showing of the Fox Marketing Altima Coupe. Instead, this sleek and sexy Silver coupe has been making the rounds at car shows including HIN Dallas, a show Brian Fox drove it to from his base in York, PA, a 2800-mile round trip that proves this finely-tuned coupe isn’t just a show-stopper, it’s the ultimate street-driven Altima with the mileage to prove it.
