Question Looking for opinions on graphics?

I'd like some feedback from non-350Z owners about the Nismo graphics. I currently have numerous Nismo products on my car...exhaust, intake, headers, flywheel, front lip, spoiler, and rims. I'm debating putting the Nismo graphics on the car to complete the look (aside from the side skirts and rear pieces), but I am torn on the decision.

What do you think? They are too expensive to put on and decide I don't like them...they'll be on for a while.

On a Silverstone Z:

Re: Looking for opinions on graphics?

I like the little nismo badge over the intake. The the stripes on the hood don't go with the flow. The stripes on the side aren't too bad. I'm kind of indifferent to those. Just a pinstripe on the side might look better. The car looks really nice.

Graphics are my thing as long as they are in good taste. Those are Dyno-mite! Go for it!

Re: Looking for opinions on graphics?

I'm younger, but I really don't like them. I don't like most graphics on cars though.

I'm young but I'm not lovin' it. I like the badge on the front, thats it. Your car is attractive due to its subtleness. I think the graphics would detract from the car.

Im a clean debadged kinda of guy. But certain cars and how they are pulled off are nice too. But I have to say the graphics you chopped on your car don't do anything for your car in my opinion.

Re: Looking for opinions on graphics?

Definately not. I'm not a big fan of graphics. It takes away from the sleekness of a car and makes it look like you're trying to hard to look fast.

I'm with the above.

Besides the look, there's no way I'd want to deal with product residue along the edges.
