Don't mind tho, for now this is her current state, that is until I return from my deployment to a garage of surprises and wonder! Fellow nismo owners, enjoy!

Looks great bro! Where are you deployed to? I have done 3 tours to Iraq. The braces look great. Can you tell a difference in handling?

Nice! Loving the braces! Did you notice a difference? The nismo is already pretty rigid, but that front brace looks amazing!

I drove a sentra spec V prior and didn't really get much seat time with the Z before installing the braces (less than 100 miles). All I can really say is the ride is a lil bit firmer. I'm looking at adding whiteline sway bars though to decrease the body roll and some good bucket seats.

Thanx guys, I try to keep my OCD in check but with the Z, I just can't help but want to keep her pretty. But I still drive her like a sports cars, hard and fast (auto-x). I'm actually deployed in Iraq, next ones gna be Afghanistan then I should be done with deployment afterwards. Again, thanks for the comments and thank you for taking a look at my "NIZMO"

Hey Nismofreak....I have a silver Z also and am wondering how the Nismo stripe kit is holding up now that you've had it on for a while.

I'm considering it for mine.

Thanks!

its doin pretty good so far actually, cars been in stoage this past year since i'm deployed, but i had it on since april 09 and i only tore off a 1x1" piece while i was using a buffer on the hood, so, be careful with buffers and it'll last, and the red has very slightly faded
