Default NISMO graphics kit on a Roadster - Pics

Well, here it is. I already know what I think, but Im not telling. What do you think? (Click on the pics for a larger view). I also included a pic of the tail light overlays. The pics dont do it justice, as the lighting was all wrong and, well, I am not a photographer. The silver stripe looks a lot lighter in person, so the contrast is a bit more striking. I will try to take better pictures when it stops raining...

I'm not a fan of graphics on cars, but it looks nicely done on your Z This means that I would not be embarassed at all to drive your car

I like it provided you have Nismo wheels, Nismo exhaust, Nismo aero kit, and Nismo underwear.

Where are the pics of the nismo underwear?



Personally, i think that the Nismo graphics look best on white, but I like it on your car.

Here is another pic I took tonite with no flash (just the garage light). Because the exposure was longer it is a bit blurry, and now that I look at it, it looks like a really bad Photoshop attempt, but trust me, it isnt. The grey/silver line color is more accurate on this, although everything else looks wacky. Click on the pic for a really big view.

I really need to take some photography lessons...

Yup, eBay. The wifey likes them (she is 5' 0" tall) and is perfect for her. Us tall guys it makes little difference unless you go 0-60 in 5 seconds. Then it help the neck a bit.

I like the graphics on the hood better than the sides.

Side graphics look much better with the top down though.

I had a guy here in tampa (www.eurostreetgraphics.com) come to my house and install them in my garage. He followed the instructions, which say to spray the vinyl and the car with the solution made up of mostly water and a drop of Joy detergent I think. This make the placement of the vinyl easier, as you can move it around once you lay it down, and when it dries it sticks permanently. Also, the peelback paper on the vinyl is cut in such a way that it makes for a perfect fit - there is no measuring at all. The paper is bigger than the vinyl and it reaches to the edges of the doors and hood so as to mark the proper placement. It was very easy to do, but it was easier to watch him do it Since he was here to do the overlays on the tailights ($30), he charged me another $30 to install the kit. I am the world's laziest modder....

That is not being lazy, you just wanted it done right!

Is that the OEM spoiler? BTW, those graphics look AWESOME!
