I'm seeing lots of pinstripping places near me...TBH I think I'm leaning towards vinyl to make sure I like the look and then if it ever fails I can always go the pinstriping route.

I'm trying to debadge and shave my emblems too. The only remnants remaining identifying my car would be the nissan black letters on my red calipers and my center caps on the wheels. I don't mind NISMO or the Z fender turn signals but wanted to get rid of the hamburgers and any mention of Nissan for a cleaner look.

Thanks!
The fronts have been smoking hot and the decals still look brand new (fingers crossed). Not a bad idea going the vinyl route first.

I hate the hamburgers also. Just didn't know if was worth spending the money to repaint both bumpers so I had mine painted black. I found someone that makes custom lenses for the side marker/blinkers. If you wanted lenses with nothing on them, they're available, or, he can do custom lettering or emblems for them. I ordered a set, I should get them next week. Hopefully the quality is good.
JARblue, madwi and old guy like this.
