Need opinion an on an idea I have for my grill

I am thinking about putting a nismo badge on my grill. Like this (on the grill) i want to put one in about the same position on my 5.5 gen with a black JMS grill. What do you think?

what do i think?
a nismo emblem on a car with no avaliable nismo parts - rice. might as well add SE-R and GTR emblems

You could always put some kind of nissan emblem in the same location or maxima,
since you need to own a car that they actually make nismo parts for in order to rock the badge even though its a representation of nissan.

Do you man... If you let people here decide what your car should look like then you'll just be driving around the same look as everyone else.

I'm not a fan of the emblem thing but I don't think it would look bad. However, if I was to do it I would maybe just get the maxima lettering in place instead.

What about a red nissan logo on a black background? You could probably airbrush and clearcoat a nice design on a piece of steel and spot weld it on, or just mod a stock chrome emblem to be red on black then glue it or attach it somehow to your existing grill. That design would match your existing scheme and would look good IMO. It would look a lot like that nismo logo in the pic you provided, but it would be the plain hamburger logo.... I dunno, just an idea.
