We'll guys my car is getting boring to me.I think I am gonna take off my Nismo graphics and run it clean for awhile.My Z is Chrome silver and I have had the graphics on for a little over 2 years.

Big concern is fading...I am worried once i remove these the Nismo will still be there in spirit...IN THE PAINT!


Ya'll have any thought or insight you would like to shed on whether or not to do this???

 

FWIW, I'm not a fan of the graphics and think the car looks better clean.

How much time has it spent in the sun? I have a pearl white Ford Explorer that I put business graphics on the side. I removed them after 5 years. The truck was never garaged. You have to look very, very close under just the right light to be able to see where the graphics were.

Granted, that is a white car but the chrome silver would probably react similarly. You have had them on only two years vs. the 5 that I had. If your z has been garaged, then I think you should be OK. See if there is a spot where you could lift a portion of the graphic and see if you got much fading.

 

+10 on losing the graphics

 

every day...outside..in the sunday and elements....car is RARELY dirty...i whipe it off everyday...

 

take off the graphics and polish it, you'll be fine

 

take off graphics, clean ride ftw

 

+1

 

+1 the only difference in color you'll probably see is the road grimb collected around the sticker. Strip wax down to clear coat, re wax, you'll be fine.

 

yea my friends stripped the top layer of clear and left impressions. might want to use rubbing compound and and wax it!

 

Do not like graphics....Go for the clean car. After removal and a wax it will look fine.

 

agreed, chrome silver is an amazing color (i'm not just saying that because it's what i drive) and I personally think it looks better w/o the graphics. Hope it works out dude

 

Remove and have a pro buff it out if needed.

 

Had a "ricer friend" who had graphics all over her miata...when her husband removed them one day they were definitely there in spirit...this was 4 yrs ago. The graphics' spirit isn't noticeable any more...after a few polishes and waxing sessions and a cpl yrs all the ghostly presentations were done.


Having said all that I'm with everyone else here on removal of graphics...clean car is a happy car.

 

graphics = ricer.

 

ima hold off on taking my graphics off til i get my Equips then ima go from there i believe..only a month away
