Dene8 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I've been umming and arring for some time now as to whether or not I should fit my Nismo graphics........ Personally I really like them, but at the same time I don't want to look like a giant douche..... Opinions s'il vous plait........ or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Don't do it. The only time I think it looks OK is on a very heavily modded show car - something like Zedrush's old Veilside Zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 On a nismo car I think they suit it. Just the sides, not the bonnet IMO On a bogo they dont! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dene8 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 On a nismo car I think they suit it. Just the sides, not the bonnet IMO On a bogo they dont! My cars nothing like my sig anymore. I have N2 front bumper, N1 skirts and N1 Spats and anthracite LMGT's so it nigh on identical to the above pic........ Could see it looking pretty ghey on a standard-ish car....

Chris`I Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 i say go for it, there not perminent so you could take them off if you dislike +1 - give it a go, if you dont like them take them off. Do the sides first then decide on if you want the bonnet too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I agree that you have to have a modded car to pull it off but the bonnet graphics are awful. But defo give it a go mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I think they would look ok on your car from the sounds of what you have had done! Personally I love these graphics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketch Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 just a warning if your not 100% sure on your cars history ect, if you put stickers on pannels that have been repainted or in some cases the original paint, the stickers pull the laqure off when removed, i found this out on my 99' S14a, thought i liked the idea od the nismo stripe, put it on them decided i didnt, i heated it up and removed it slowly and it kept jumping and pulled the laqure off in 3 places, then you have to have your pannel repainted and on a silver'ish car its hard to match the colour, personally i would never put a massive sticker on my car again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think that the nismo bit may be too close to the body work to cut to get a good line... Been through the experience and its not easy to get right... Having had a quick search I cant belive that noone produces an exact precut one... Perhaps RGVA or Racoon could think about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 the nismo decal comes separate to add on after you have finished. as for fitting, i've done a couple before and they are a fiddle, but applying them wet, helps as does a good sharp knife. will have to see how it goes.

UNABASHED Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I quite like the Nismo graphics, only on the side though and not thwe bonnet section. I spent a while trying to find a picture of a nismo'd Azure with the graphics with no joy so not sure if I'll go down that route when I get mine kitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
