Project: Nismo

Snakes709 · 03-20-2010, 10:10 AM

Well if it isnt to expensive ill get it, but paying $1000 for a under cover...screw that, all it does is keeps the bottom side of the engine clean. I would rather get under my car every week and clean the engine then pay that much for a piece of plastic.

same as it is on the tour/sport, except the nismo is a few inches longer i think.

Snakes709 · 03-20-2010, 01:47 PM

yup thats the one. I think its a few inches longer on the nismo so thats why it needs to be replace. But im saying screw it, when my nismo parts come in im leaving that piece off.

Yeah....might have a guy that can copy the piece. If I do and can make some copies for other people, i will definitely do that!

Snakes709 · 03-21-2010, 10:53 PM

I called my local dealership. Those pieces that add onto the fender liners or "protectors" as they call them are $68 cdn each...probably the cheapest part on the car...lol

Also, I need ideas on how I should badge it! Should I go silver hamburgers or the "Z" in the front middle and back middle? Should I do FairladyZ or 370Z?

Let me know what you think!!!!

I been arguing with gf over that same thing. She thinks i should put Fairlady on one saide, Nissan emblem in the middle and Nismo on the other side. Would look nice however, i cant be hipicritical. I use to own a Cobalt SS Supercharged and a few of my buddies put SS tags on there car when it was a Cobalt LS or LT..one guy even put the body kit on it with a custom turbocharged kit and put Cobalt SS Turbocharged. I hated it, its not a really SS so dont put the tags on. So in the case of the 370z...its not a real nismo or fairlady so i dont think i should put the tags on.
