Default A little 2015 Nismo styling opinions

So I just installed my rough sides about a month ago. And while looking at LA auto show on YouTube I saw the styling of the new sentra juke and gtr nismo editions with the red stripes. And this past Christmas I wrapped my Volk Gts wheels with a metallic blue vinyl. Which sacked and took about 3 hours per wheel. So with my extra wrap I decided to carefully cut sections of blue off and make some nismo styled side skirts with the rough add ons. Opinions welcome to all the flamers. Besides I can't tell if it's too much or just on that borderline.

Looks like a nice job - not my personal color fave but its your car.

Just wondering how vinyl wrap will hold up to brake dust.

the vinyl is holding up great to all the brake dust and heat here in Florida only problem is like 5 or 6 curved corners have bubbled up do to the angles and stretching the vinyl to fit. and the color looks very obnoxious in the pictures but in person they are not as flashy.

I like the 2015 Nismo styling stripes on the lower leading edges of the skirts,front lip
and rear diffuser I am considering adding this to my 2003 Touring as I have these body mods
in carbon fiber.However,the Nismo is done in red.Red pintripes are also being used by
some supercar makes,Lamborghini for one.I'm just not digging the blue being used for this purpose on your car.Furthermore,I'm also not a fan of colored wheels to match.
Its your car,what it looks like in your eyes is what counts.Kudos on the labor involved to
do the wheels.

I Might be purchasing a ts rear diffuser not sure if I would accent that though. Probably wouldn't look right.

Looks very good. Tempted to wonder what a thin blue line across the edge of the roof spoiler would look like...the edge closest to the hatch glass.

As is looks really nice though in my opinion.

yeah my bad on that. My new phone likes to spell check everything. I eventually want to switch from my ebay Nismo lip to a Veilside carbon along with the rear diffuser. Unfortunately that lip costs half a paycheck lol. And i think it will compliment the ROUSH sides better.

Now if you could just add some neon under-glow, the Honda guys will let you into their parking lot meets. Just kidding, your car looks great. I like how all the small personalized touches flow together. I know what you mean about super bright color accents looking jarring in the two dimensions of a photo. Seeing all three dimensions up close and personal can make everything fit in better.

I enjoy the little things. Im not a big car show or stance person like some of my friends. Auto-x events is where i enjoy being. i actually just raised my car up because it was too low and had too much negative camber for my liking. But now shes ready as my weekend warrior again.

In the photo, it would look better if the blue line was straight but it looks crooked....

Looks awkward just on the sides, you need to incorporate it into more of the car
