Pics of my Nismo - Help me decide if the stripes stay or go!!
 
Don't have proper pics yet but here are some crappy ones from my ipad that I posted in the new nismo owner section.

I just bought the car this past weekend. I know for fact I will be getting rid of the "nismo" and "s-tune" stickers just under the sideview mirrors. However I'm not sure I I feel about the stripes.I have been getting some mixed opinions. Some people love them and others say it looks rice.

Idk what to do! I was thinking in the future if I get the wheels powercoated black and get the time attack style red around the edge of the rim it would match nicely with the red stripe, but I can't decide. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated

Sorry but that is a go.

christian370z 09-19-2011 10:42 PM

I would get rid of the stickers and the stripes along the doors, however I do kind of like the two stripes on the hood.

370ZNISMO#704 09-19-2011 10:48 PM

I also like the hood but the sides not as much.. not to take away from your post take a look at my sticker I came up with for my nismo. It's the only one like it.. I had my friend make it for me.. maybe you could come up with one that you liked more then the stripes.. good luck with your choice..

tjlazer 09-19-2011 10:56 PM

I actually like them, and its very unique. And its actually real Nismo stickers too. Go fiqure.

Ditto

Red__Zed 09-19-2011 11:00 PM

get 'em off

WWJD 09-19-2011 11:43 PM

The design is good, but the color choice is lame... So if I were you, I would redo the stripes or take all of them off.

doda74 09-20-2011 01:19 AM

I vote taking them all off.

NeverBoneStck 09-20-2011 01:47 AM

They must go .. Horrible ..

FL 4Motion 09-20-2011 02:39 AM

ditch the stickers.

What are you trying to say... :shakes head:

RandyD 09-20-2011 07:32 AM

i have to vote... go. doesn't do the car justice.

red6spd 09-20-2011 07:46 AM

Get rid of the stripes on the side.

Astrosfan 09-20-2011 11:01 AM

stickers should go, keep it clean!

babbagandu 09-20-2011 11:06 AM

Ok thanks everyone, I am convinced. The stripes will go.

Now here is the only dilemma: the car has a clear bra on the front and it looks like the previous owner had it cut to fit around the sticker on the hood. Would it look too terrible if I left the hood sticker on and just took off the rest?

If you wanna keep the clear bar, which is good to keep, then just overlay some other color stripes on the top of the ones you have now.

dopetime 09-20-2011 02:58 PM

i would keep the stripes! i like em and they're quite unique!

What other colors do you suggest? And is it true that if I keep the sticker on there too long it will screw up the clear coat?

This might help out on your decision.

:iagree: on all accounts.

Waiz 09-21-2011 03:37 PM

Leave the stickers, remove headlight tint..

Pelican170 09-21-2011 03:55 PM

take em off...

ZeeingAround 09-21-2011 04:50 PM

Leave the hood stickers or all. I don't care for the decal below the mirrors. The rest is fine and I would have no problem with them on my car.

You could also remove them all and get a Carbon Fiber hood. There-fixeditforya

mr_sk 09-22-2011 03:05 PM

I say add some flying silver swords to the door and possibly a coca-cola sticker or other soft drink company ...


:icon18:


kidding, please remove all stickers pronto!

ScGRaceR 09-22-2011 03:19 PM

I think what you like is the nice body style, rims and overall awesomeness of the Z. Even stupid stickers can't bring this awesome car down too many notches, thus your feeling of "liking it" is just a less powerful version of, "I love this Z" (w/out the stickers of course!)


hahah :tup:

Nah, to each is own man. They don't look awful, I just think this Z would look so sexy in all black with no stickers to detract from it.

:hello:

svmtbman 09-22-2011 07:00 PM

I would take them off

shika805 09-22-2011 09:07 PM

not my cup of tea... but if it works for you get it my friend

babbagandu 09-24-2011 10:11 PM

It is done. I took off the stickers on the side today. It looks much cleaner now. I left the the one on the hood because I did not want to mess up the clear bra, but I think it looks kinda nice with it one there anyway. Here are some pics:

Off they go.

RoshDawg 09-25-2011 11:47 PM

I love the hood ones. I thought they were supposed to be 3 stripes. Is there a black stripe in the middle?

Yeah it's just not showing in the pic. Not too visible irl either but it still looks nice IMO

Will def be better without the sides ones, hood ones are actually not bad imo. If you like it keep it, if not then you know what to do, your car. Nice ride

zcar_dad 09-26-2011 12:53 PM

I would say they need to go. Also, I would not powder coat the wheels black. Just my opinion.
