Default Trying on modern Nismo stripes.

These are knock-offs of the Juke Nismo stripes. They are two piece and need a strategic cut to join the two which I did not do in this application...but if I decide I like them I will do a better job on the second time around.

Stripe needs to be longer, from tail light to near the front headlights.

IMO it looks like weaponized H.I.V.

Doesn't look too bad. Nice Nismo though.

Thanks!

I had the US red tails for a while but I think the JDM's look more updated.

I think the JDM tail lights fit certain colors better. It looks great on white, for example.

The stripes aren't bad but it is a little short. I like the original Nismo stripes for the 350Z better. Here's a Nismo 350Z with it.

I'm a huge fan of the Nismo Juke, and your car looks pretty fantastic, no question. But the stripes are a little short :/ maybe you could get a local vinyl or graphics company to take what you have and make it a little longer?

Actually if I had them exactly like I want them they'll be roughly ten inches shorter, point being to look nothing like the old stripe package.

I like it and it's more subtle then the actual NISMO stripes. I would suggest extending it though and if you could make it slimmer I would also suggest that as well.

I like your tail lights, not sure why others are getting their jummies so rustled about them. Maybe they just don't know that they are an actual JDM market OEM accessory and not some cheap aftermarket ebay versions

I like them!! It makes your car a little different and can be removed in 10 minutes.. Been wanting to ebay a pair of the NISMO stripes and put them on the Z.
