Default '08 Nismo with the "Nismo 2014 look"

I've really been a fan of Nismo's new look for 2014 with the Nismo GT-R, Juke and Z34, so I decided to give the red accents a go on my car.

A stop at O'Reilly and $4 of stripe tape later:







I was skeptical after I did it, but looking at it a day later in the sunlight and I think I'm going to make it permanent. Let me know what you guys think.

I like it!
The red definition stripes have become very popular.Not only the Nismo,but Lambo
and others are using them.
Thinking about doing the same myself.You have done a excellent job as the stripes must
keep the same line to look good.

The red stripe is the main thing I don't like about the recent Nismo revival, looks cheap IMO. GM did this in the 80's with their 'Euro' editions.

Does give it a nice look, was thinking of doing gold wheel tape to match the Brembo's, but this is a whole other level! Nice work!

Niiiiiiicccceee..

Thinking of adding same to my white Nismo now.

How would you make it permanent? isn't this just the stuff that kind of sticks on/ adheres from surface tension? no adhesive? will it just come off first time your car is washed?

I hope this isn't "threadjacking" (I've never posted in a forum before), but after seeing how the OPs results came out, I wanted to give the new "Nismo" look a try. It looks interesting to say the least, probably bordering (if not crossing) into the rice dept, especially with my red wheels lol

I like it though









iPhone pics :P

Too much for my tastes, but maybe it looks better in person.
