Need your opinion

Hey guys,

Last night I thought about getting my headrest embroided with the Nismo logo, but not sure what would it look like. Has anyone ever attempted this? I've seen some seats that come with some kind of logo or name embroided on the headrest and thought would look nice and add some kind of custom look to our cars. I've seen the stickers, but I prefer not going that route since I'm afraid that it will not stick and peel off with the heat. Any suggestions? How much you think this would run?

Thanks in advance.

I have seen it and it looks beautiful (when professionally done). Kevin (the 12 pass Maxima thread) has his embroidered on his seats, but it would look the same.

My only question would be - do you actually have any Nismo parts? Otherwise I'd just get "Maxima" or "Nissan". Just me though.

Hahahah fair enough - but you also have a lack of the most important Nismo parts.

To me its like putting "TRD" on a stock Celica, or even "Saleen" on a Mustang...

Actually, I'd say it would be us who wouldn't give a ****, and the average bystander who would ask (as I would) "What Nismo are you running?"

Of course, in the end nothing matters except what this individual wants to do, however, I am trying to save him from explaining why he has stitching that means nothing on his car.

I've actually been battling this myself because I wanted to originally put "Nismo" on my calipers, but I couldn't bring myself to do it, as I felt pretty damn fake.

Now you've given me a way out...the radiator cap it is!

Chern I just realized from your cardomain that you were in the Navy, and an officer. Very nice. I was a MM3 Nuke on the Nimitz in San Diego.

Reason? Have you done it before or have you seen it done on a car?
