Default New Graphics, need opinions

Ok, I am trying to get car ready for magazine shoot, just added the graphics and would like your honest opinion, yes graphics or no. I know that the magazine liked it the way it was but I really would like car to stand out.

It is the Veilside modified, just the majority of my Mods are NISMO and North Point Nissan is my sponsor so I thought I better swap the Veilside for the NISMO 350Z. I am at least running the Veilside front lip.

Got a company here in Little Rock that does an awesome job on Graphics and I showed them a picture of the Veilside stripe and the guy came up with this one. They also designed the NISMO Z badge on the back of car showing the 335 HP. They do all the graphics for Stihl chainsaws and other major companies.

And yes, anyone can buy them from this company, they charged me $254 installed.

it looks ok. if i were doing it, i would leave out the '350z' on the side and do reverse 'jdm' style on the passenger side.

are you going to be doing a rollcall anywhere on the car?

Suppose to get the North Point Nissan decal next week to add to the rear of the side skirt, doing it in the same color scheme as stripe, also Richie's Auto re-styling and Rollin Car customs, so yes I will be doing a roll call

I hate graphics on cars, that said, It looks good enough for a camera shoot and maybe leave on for a little while after that, but certainly not a perminant addition. I am also not real hip on logos that are copied and the EXACT same font is NOT used., it just doesnt look right.

I love the stripe, but like the guys said, Ditch the letters.

Nismo 350z denotes a car that has exclusively Nismo parts. Obviously not all Nismo on your car. Seems wrong.
Also its weird to produce your own sticker for a product.

Thanks guys for your honest opinion, I will have the back portion of the Graphics re-done leaving out the Nismo Lettering.

You're putting down that much power with the mods you have listed?
