Picture doesn't really do them justice because it was cloudy but they glitter in direct sunlight:

This is correct. The wheels were powdered in lazer crystal then the NISMO inlays were hand painted with an enamel and hardened. Then the wheels were clear coated.

Figure Finishing in Sterling did the work.

I assumed you were probably going to say that... After looking closer it did look more like paint... BUT I figured I would ask, wheels look great!

Not feeling it TBH. I like the fact that it is written on only one place on the outside of the car. I would like to see an almost completely de-badged Nismo, except for the Nismo name on the rear, and maybe the O painted red.

I kinda like the picture, but don't think I will I'd I see it in person. I imagine, especially if under clear sky, the little chrome badge will draw my eyes away and kind of disturb the beautiful curves of the car.

However, if this badge is more subtle, something like black chrome or black aluminum all the way, I'll like it better.

:iagree:. There are too many Nismo emblems on our cars to begin with... no need to add more IMO.

Good calls, I agree... I was a little bored today at lunch so I ran over to the garage and was trying it out in some different spots... Its a pretty sweet emblem so I will find a good place maybe under the hood or something for it :)
Thank you fellas for the input!

Under hood sounds nice, or maybe somewhere tasteful in the interior.

I 100 percent agree. I will post a pic when I find a good spot. The interior will be the first spot I try, gotta love painters tape to hold it on so I can get a visual.

Side note- if anyone likes this emblem I ordered from the nismo shop it was like 15 bucks and its from the Version 2 350z Nismo bumper :)

Yes! This is EXACTLY what the Nismo needs! More badges!

I sense sarcasm...

Thanks for the input, i agree with all said. It is a sexy badge though so it will find a good home somewhere just not on the outside...
