can any one tell me how this is attached and will it leave holes if i take it off or is it just stuck on with double sided tape? has anyone else taken this off, i think a few have but i am not sure.
thanx

its the bottom pic

 

you mean the trim? and I think it does leave holes. not 100% on that.

 

I'm pretty sure it's just really sticky double-sided tape.

 

why not take it off and see for yourself

 

dude, wtf is up with the dudes in the sig?

 

they're gay .... duh http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hreadid=168898

 

Yes there are holes under the that side panel. I know this because mine recently fell off somehow. However, there is also a substantial amount of double sided tape. My suggestion would be that you dont take it off because even if you do get the tape/sticky substance clear, it will look odd. It leaves a noticable indentation.

 

I plan on removing mine when I get my car painted. Yes it has holes and will need to be filled, sanded and painted.

don't they help protect against door dings?

 

yep .. and other things that would bump into the side of your car

 

They dont really make much of a difference looking at my doors.

yuh i just got my car painted and i was going to remove them, they leave a pretty big valley with nickle sized holes about every foot or so

 

UNCDood,

does your Trans have the same LED in the front as Knight Rider??? LOOKS like it!!!

That was my fav. show in the whole wide world.

Oh and yes, they do leave holes!

 

I removed my pieces on the side. My suggestion is don't do it! It took me forever to fiberglass it in and to get it right finally. There is a valley underneath the rubber (the metal is indented inward) and there are holes periodically. There is also double sided tape. I will never do it again.

Is it still noticeable after it is all done?

i usually don't like those wings in person but i don't mind seeing them every now n then. i'm a big fan of that blue, seems like more and more people have it every month but it's still awesome! lets see some more pics of the car.

 

The wing was taken off last week and I am thinking about getting a wing similar to the skyline R-34's. After all is done all there is on the sides is one line, the body line. I guess that could be taken off too. It would probably be a lot easier in hind sight.

the car is actually my dads.

 

UNC,

That car is beautiful! I actually got to sit in the actual "KIT" from the 80's, back when I was 7, yea that was awhile ago. Does your dad have an operational "Kit" voice (a.k.a. Mr. Pheenie)? How 'bout buttons? Do any of them work? Oh man I would love a ride in that!

 

getting kind of excited there huh?

SuDZ

 

Just a lil .............


That's the reason why I got into cars.

 

is it possible to order a new one from the dealership already painted and swich my faded one for the newer one?

 

That's why we welded a plate over everything. It still took forever to get it all even, but it's better than fiberglass.

 

Nice max dude

 

Thanks man. This is only the first couple of times that I have posted on the org. I have been reading the sites since I got my max a year ago. Hey shadow, I saw you in greenville a couple of weeks ago. My car used to be tan when I saw you in Daytona.

 

Thanks. My dad has put a LOT of time and money into that car. My dad has actual close up pics of one of the many cars used in the series. But each button will have a function for something.

 

he should hook up some NOS to the Boost button!!

 

hahaha. thats what i told him but he said this ride is gonna be 'all show and no go'. but every other button will either perform an action (i.e. trunk release, w/s wipers etc.) or say a phrase using the actual KITT voice aka Mr. Feenie. lol


but who knows what the boost button will do when I get the car.

 

...but does that happen anytime soon?

SuDZ

 

lol SuDZ, you on a rampage man! J/K

UNCDood,

If you need any help sportin the ride, this funnylil'man would be more than happy to help!

BTW, I showed the car to a bimmer friend, and he loved it too. He said he was going to put a thread on his forum. Not bad, havin a GM product on a Bimmer forum, and sayin good things about it! j/k That car is awesome... MAD props to you and you dad

 

yea, right! my dad is still working on the electronics for the dash! we were thinking about showing it in the local X-mas parade this year w/ me driving.




thanks man, I really appreciate that. can you ask him to post the website address for the site of the car on there too? i'd really appreciate it. oh yea, can you shoot ne a link sometime to let me know where he posted it at sometime?
