Looking for opinions on graphics?

**04LemansZ** · 03-12-2008, 10:31 PM

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.

Crappy Photoshop on my car

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.

the graphics are not my thing (but it`s not my car!)

I like the idea of all the "Go-Fast" stufff without the

"look I have go-Fast " stuff graphics

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

Uhhhh.....no. You asked.

I think the younger guys will love it.....

It`s different so, give it a shot.....!

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.

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.

No. A little too Fast and the Furious IMO.

I`m with the above.

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

**Charlies02GLS** · 03-20-2008, 08:52 PM

Graphics colors kind of clash with your vehicle`s color in my opinion.

**Deanski** · 03-20-2008, 09:51 PM

Keep it clean and free from all the graphic items, it detracts from the lines of the car.

If you want to spend money, get things that actually make it go fast or handle better. People spend big $$ for better brakes, tires, chipping the ECU, headers, lighter wheels, you get the idea.

Nothing more sneeky than a sleeper than can kick butt on the track.

I may be one to talk having an Aerokit on the Porsche but there was a reason for that, it helps on downforce, opens the rads for more air, forced air into the rear engine. Looks good as well.

If anything, the "Z" logo in contrasting color or one that complements the color of your car looks better than all busy graphics. Simple looks best.

At least you have Photoshop to play with the look before you do something that just doesn`t look right and have spent all this money for something you`re not happy with.

Me, I`m spending $$ for Bilstein Damptronic coilovers for PASM, new headers, 200 cell cats, chip the ECU, new tires (go through these often), interior additions I missed when I "spec`d" my car.

Well put. Money is more than likely going towards a plenum spacer, UTEC, and a tune. After that it`ll probably be a brake upgrade and springs/sways, and then the Nismo sides and rear pieces to finish off the kit.
