Are you planning on getting these? Do you know what the lettering means? Are you sure you know what it means? You could be driving around with a bezel that says d*** head on it or something. Just a thought.

Japanese language does use Chinese characters... Don't know about the first letter, but I think the second letter means "big" or "large"...

That said, I think the lettering on the dash is kinda tacky and r***...

NO, its sucks if u wanna go spice up the dash get indiglo's or new bezel

just my opinion but if u want it like that, keep it. just to remind u, u don't drive a civic so don't treat ur max like one

The letters mean fire arrow and rocket.

Well i like it at least, though no one else does, at least its creative.
Getting reverse indigos, why, it already glows reverse colors, and the template for that is ugly, get a carbon fiber bezel, well those look ok, but whats the point of "customizing" when you buy a premade stamped out item for your car that everyone else buys off various websites? Thats not very custom when everyone but the 70 year old maxima owners have it. Why look like every other maxima out their.
so oh well..

perhaps you can buy a small neon blue light that beats with the music. you can put it near the sticker so you can see it at night.=) That's "customizing"... ?

Oblongshapes... I like your logic, but not the bezel. Props for creativity no doubt though.

Sorry, but the letters don't mean "fire arrow and rocket".
The first letter on top is just some wannabe chinese character and the second one means "big".

But on the other hand it does add at least 10hp

For all you guys saying that Japenese characters are different from Chinese. You couldn't be more wrong. The Japanese characters are identical to those of the Chinese. This does not mean that a characters in both languages mean or are pronounced the same way. They just use the same characters. And often, have similar meanings as well.

Judging by two characters alone, it is nearly impossible to distinguish between the two unless the two have a syntax or symantic error in one language, and none in the other.

Everything else on your car looks clean and simple...the Chinese letters take away from it by making it typical rice. I don't like it at all, but if you do.

Evidently this has many translations. You should get it and just make up what you think it means.

Well here is what is says

"Early Chinese rockets were used in warfare and celebrations. In fact, the origin of the rocket is shown simply in these Chinese characters. They stand for both "rocket" and "fire arrow."

so iunno
