Brutal honesty?

your car looks great like it is in your signature... period.

i think the graphic will take away from the "simple" and "clean" look you got right now

i have too agree. your car looks great as it is. thatgraphic gives it a completely new look IMO, takes away from the clean classy look your car has.

I dont like it at all to be honest. It might look better if you tookt he chrome pillars off that kinda adds to the clean look but it doesnt match the graphic

May I ask why you would even consider ruining your car with crap like that???
What did your car ever do to you?!

this is an interesting idea. do some more sketches, like 30, then break it down to your best couple ideas. i think the 2nd concept has the most potential in how it curves around the front wheelwell. also if the line was on the bottom part of the door it could look good.
also the color doesnt really match.

This forum is pretty much anti rice.

Honestly, i think your getting a big carried away. Yet, its your opinion that really matters.

Yet, my opinion is it's pretty ugly and stupid looking.

If you want to make your car better, paint the grill to match the body. Keep it clean.

Something simple in a different color might look better. Also, how durable is this graphic. Is it going to fade, crack and look like poop quickly?

I was beat to the two things that came into my mind. 1. This isn't The Fast and The Furious(even though vince did have a 4th gen maxima), and 2. your car looks great as it is in the sig. Leave it alone.

I think if everyone had a "clean" look then the point of modding your car would be pointless....at some honesty is coming from ppl with maximas that are eyesores...I dont think it flows well with the car but Like the one guy said make up some more sketches and maybe one will fit but since you already have the pinstripe I think you should leave well enough alone...

Thanks for the Deep thoughts Mark....hahaha
