JDM Lover Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Hi Guys, I finally relented and spent the weekend removing the nismo decals from my zed. I was always reluctant to do it in the past because of the possible marks left or paint imperfection but they've come off clean and you'd never know they'd ever been on the car, and not a single scratch left behind. Unfortunately, the 'after' pic was taken so late at night so crap image but anyway, what d'ya think - better now or worse? P.S. Its still for sale in usual place (shameless plug!) Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 IMO with the stickers was better and made it look different... I would have just got rid of the bonnet one... Quote
jerry3167 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Good job! Looks a lot more cleaner lines, smooth Quote
Jak Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 i actually really like the nismo stickers , if i can ever afford to buy a nismo/nismo replica kit i will really consider stickering up!, would paint lip skirts and spats black too probably Quote
Salieri Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Is yours the Zed that parks in Kennington/Oval in the Business Square? looks suspiciously like it... well before you took the decals off. Looks better without imo. Quote
Shaun1982 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I prefered the before picture matey,just looks a bit plain now NOI Quote

Digsy Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Looks miles better and whilst there will be some on here that love the stickers I'd bet there'd be plenty more potential buyers that wouldn't. The fact that you were concerned about taking them off (despite what you said in the ad! ) should make you appreciate how off putting they might have been to some people. This now looks like a great car at a great price and if you were doing P/X on my MX5 I'd have it off you. Good luck with the sale. Quote

Althought I am in the "love the stickers" camp, it will appeal to far more people now. Quote
smokedog Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Miles better, big decals and carbon add-ons just cheapen a car imo. Good there are people with taste out there imo, so no flaming Quote
Stew Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I liked the stickers but I do think the car will sell quicker without them. Quote
Anubis Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 If your selling then take them off but say to the new driver that official Nismo decals are available from a few traders and show him/her the pics with them on - at least they know it can have stickers on it. Personal opinion - I prefer the stickers on. Change the big bonnet one for a simple "Nismo" like mine and a few others have and job done. Official stickers look good if you have the awesome body kits to go with it. Unlike tons of ricers that shove ironing boards on the back of the Corsa's and Saxo's, etc and then plaster the poor machine with "NOS" and "Sparco" everywhere, even when they have none of those items on the car.

Oh i love to see cars like that,especially when theres like 2 different wheel manufacturers on the car AND its on steelies.lol. On a very select few kinds of cars styled in the right way i like the 'shopping list' decals,providing theyre all parts actually on the car that is Quote
alessandro Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 how come I missed your ad while I was lloking for mine! When did you post it? Would you be put the car back to OEM before you sell it? (really lke the body kit ) By the way the car looks a lot better without stickers Quote
Stew Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Been in the for sale section for quite a while. Quote
