If you poll had a third choice ( not sure) I would have picked not sure.
They were REALLY easy to put on, because they are a thin graphic Thin as in width, not thickness).

BTW...UPDATED with PICS :-)

Hmm, for your particular car, I'd say you need some actual Nismo performance and aero items to be able to pull off the decals. They look kinda out of place on an otherwise stock looking car.

I have a GREddy front lip and AUT eyelids I still need to put on the car, and I thought about getting the Nismo wing.

I think the graphics running along the side of the car don't look too bad, but I'm not really feelin' the hood graphics.

How do they install? And how hard is it to take them off? I figure once you remove them, they are trash.

They were easy to install, nice and smooth, took a little over an hour. They are even easier to remove. Yes, once removed, they are no longer any good.

Yeah, see, that's the thing; that stuff isn't Nismo and takes the car even further away from the theme. You need to have a Nismo car if you're going to sport the Nismo decals, IMO.

You've GOTTA KEEP THEM! Your car looks so much better with the graphics kit on there. Don't listen to these fools talk about taking it off. Most of them telling you to take it off are "GO" folks rather than "SHOW". I've been shocked by the number of people on this forum who state things like: "Before you can add SHOW stuff, you need to make your car GO so you can back up the SHOW". THOSE IDIOTS DON'T REMEMBER YOUR BUYING A SPORTS CAR THAT COMES WITH NEARLY 300HP FROM THE FACTORY, REAR WHEEL DRIVE, TWO SEATER, 0-60 IN MID 5's, ETC!
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY THINK THEY BOUHGT A CIVIC, OR A SCION, THE Z COMES FAST YOU DON'T NEED TO ADD ANYTHING TO "JUSTIFY" ADDING THE NISMO GRAPHICS KIT!

To each their own, but IMO, anyone running Nismo graphics without the Nismo parts (either performace OR aero) to back it up is uneducated in auto aesthetics at best, a poser at worst. Yes, the Z is a sports car (duh), but in stock form (or even with some random aftermarket mods), it has NOTHING to do with Nismo. Just my .02.

It actually doesn't look too bad. It sorta looks like the lightweight edition e36 M3 graphics they had.

Well, no offense to anyone else that has a silver car, but IMO, silver is boring and far too common. I like it better with the stickers.

i personaly think its clean. i say keep it. in the future dont waste the money buying it putting it on then asking people if you should keep them on. just get opinions at first then deside off the results. but then why even listen to others' opinions, just do what you feel is right.

I like them now, they grew on me quick, it just took a few days of looking at my car and getting used to seeing them on there. If I ever decide to change my mind, or change my scheme, they can be easily removed.

Thanks everyone for your feedback and imput so far, if nothing else, it's interesting to hear so many different opinions from one Z owner to the next.

What you really need to do is forget about the graphics and lower your car, it's a high rider
