If I said I wasn't curious what it would look like on the back of a true GT-R, I'd be lying.

But still, it seems horribly cheesy to me. Even if executed beautifully, It's still a lighted Emblem.

Also, are you trying to replicate the one they had? Light up the "R" type deal?

-------------

If you want to make that thing look better, and feel like spending some money this is a route I'd consider:

Only thing I"m not crazy about is the off-road rivet/screw style rear fenders, IMO that should be smooth with just the brake vent.

Also, take off the NISSAN emblem on the back and move the GT-R into it's old location. Well, don't just do it, PS it,

Same for coilovers on the Maxima. (Nicely done, merovi.)
Same for HID fogs on the Maxima. (Nicely done, merovi.)

I think a 6th gen BBK should be high on merovi's wish list.

Agree. And by high, you do mean "next", right?


CJ, I such at PS(or whatever photobucket uses remedially), but this maybe isn't as great of an idea as I thought. I think it looks aweful because the "R" changed colour for some reason when I moved it around

Here, this is better. (Keep working on those image editing skills, Tuner. You're coming along nicely.)

If anything, a nice clean licence plate frame that has the GT-R on it. Subtle, but pronounced, all at the same time.

When they recalled the trans i took it to the same dealer i got it from which was the same dealer that sold me the nismo intake and exhaust and they installed it well when the service manager was filling out the checklist he said i voided the warranty by installing aftermarket equipment and that the recall for the trans wasnt going to happen it did not go pretty

No, too busy in too small of an area, and it compromises the purpose of the frame, which is to frame the plate, not to call attention to itself. I don't think a license plate frame should say anything, or have any emblem attached to it for exactly that reason. Just frame.

I haven't followed the whole thing between you and clashez (because I'm not 12), but I'm guessing the hostility comes from something he probably said about your niece. However, reciprocating with slurs about the man's wife makes you equally crass, and you're smarter than that, aren't you? You could almost observe that your violent sense of honor is somewhat selective.

But as I said, I don't really know what's going on except to see you call another man's wife a hobag... which is awkward.

crashez would have proof of the GTR if he agreed to race CJ in it

See what I did there? I made the b!tching moot.

I also muted the b!tcher, but that's another story altogether.

Yes childish even know i have him iggy he still continue to disrespect across muti topics without cause i had for a while left well enuff alone but the straight and uncalled for disrespect of one of my children is above all.he has now crossed all lines call and say what you may about me but when you attack my girls you have only brought unknown wrath upon yourself like the fact that monday morning ill be running his plate to get his registration info and address where the car is titled and insured at such simple little things for him to look back on while he continues his actions

Sorry Crusher, I couldn't find anything on the driver's side. I turned the wheel to the left and right, crawled under the car the best I could, and looked inbetween the spokes of the wheels. I just couldn't find a number on the side of the transmission anywhere. If I was able to get the car up in the air to get under it farther, I'd probably be able to see it.
