Hey guys, I'm on week 1 with my 06 350z. I got the car for a great price and low miles, but there was 1 major flaw with the car. The girl who owned it before me had both side windows etched with a flower design.

I have been weighing the options and have come up with a few so far.

1. Replace the windows. Most expensive option by far obviously
2. Possibly tint the windows (really dark)
3. Have someone etch a better design to hide the flowers (similar to how a tattoo artist can fix a bad tattoo job)


The design is identical on both sides. Just awful


Hard to see it from far away and I always have the windows down when driving. It's a bit embarrassing when it's parked anywhere

Lol wtf, I have never seen this before. Replace the windows, maybe try a salvage yard.. might get lucky.

 

Good advice so far. Might have to bite the bullet and go for the total window replacement. My mechanic friends have never dealt with an etching either, so I'm out of luck there

 

chic who did that should have stayed in the kitchen...

 

"chic who did that should have stayed in the kitchen... "

Ouch haha. When I saw it for the first time, I thought to myself, "only a girl would do this to a car". It's like a slap in the face to all guys

 

I'd just rock it. Honestly, it's so bad it's awesome.

 

+1....DavidV would call you a trailblazer.

Haha replace the windows, just go to a junk yard

 

Mods probably fell asleep.... 9 replies and still in the nismo section. OP just replace the window and be done with it. Better yet put stickers over it, the best and cheapest route.

 

Going to start looking at the new window installation prices around me tomorrow. The sticker/decal option isn't bad either. Thanks for the advice guys. I'll let you know how it goes and post some pics of the update.

 

I have never seen anything like that before. I have no idea why anyone would ever do that when they can put a simple sticker on the window and take it off when wanted.

 

$100 a side on ebay... replace that ASAP

 

You could try that window crack repair resin. It's worth a shot if your only other option is replacing them.

 

Yeah, give this ^ a shot, and if that doesnt work, REPLACE IT!!! it looks hideous!

What were they thinking?!?!

 

 

Holy cow, why would anyone do that?!

 

The moderator picked up the error in the thread just before, so that's taken care of.

Haha thanks for the advice guys. I will definitely try the window crack repair resin then, before I commit to buying a set of new windows.

"$100 a side on ebay... replace that ASAP"

100 for replacement windows on ebay? I can get them that cheaply?

 

Wow I have never seen that before haha. I would just replace the glass that has the etching in it. That's crazy.
