I'm seriously considering picking up some Nogaro Red touch up paint and painting the O on the Nismo trunk badge. Could any 'chop specialists here recolor the O in this pic red to give me an idea of what it would look like:

 

I don't think it would look good...at a distance you would not see the "O" at all...

thats like having a white "O"

"NISM"

EDIT: when I say white I mean the background color of a post, whatever color that is...

 

^ what he said

 

 

would it look good if my nismo was white? I've been thinking about that too. lol

 

I think it would look better if you had some black in there. Maybe paint the O black.

 

Give me a better picture and I'll do it.

 

i was thinking the same thing with my black nismo... im gonna do when i have time

 

I will provide a better picture shortly. I agree that it wouldn't look good on Nogaro but I have an MB and it might stand out better with a black background.

 

i prefer to debadge the nismo, i took off the 350z and nismo badge, i like it better this way

 

^ that looks really good. Another thing that may look good is to paint the letter black or like gunmetal grey and then the O red. Just an idea tho to break it up.

 

What exhaust do you have in that pic?

 

thats what im planning on doing when i find the time for it

 

i put the fast intentions dual exhaust on. i had them make it special for my nismo. the normal one wouldnt have been long enough to fit like the stock exhuast. the tips would have been under the bumper. i really like it though and it fits great. resonated test pipes as well, its not raspy at all and sounds great.

 

I would repaint all the emblems gloss black.

I've never been a fan of the cheap plastic Nissan front and rear hamburgers.

 

How do you do that? I would like to repaint the front and back emblems black but I don't want to remove them so is it possible to paint the emblems without removal?

 

Instead of painting the 'O', I used one of the nismo decals that came w/ the nismo strip kit...fits perfecthttp://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...&id=1490160397

 

There is a DIY for removing emblems, the same should apply to the NISMO emblem.

You can paint them yourself with several coats of primer, paint, and clearcoat. They should also re-attach with the appropriate 3M double-sided tape.

Or you can have a trusted bodyshop take care of it for you.

 

Or i believe you can buy the nissan hamburgers in a variety of colors now from various vendors.

I took the nismo and put it in the center after painting it black!
