A dare at last!!! Grand Sport Stripes on my 6thgen

A dare at last, indeed! Took a bold step and put Grand Sport stripes on my car. Quite nice , if you ask me. Went to a local shop to get it done and the guy was really nice and I promised like Terminator, "I'll be back!" And I will be going back for more stripes, when I figure out a design. Besides guys, these are STICKERS! I can pull them off today and my car will be back to normal. So, if you like it, great! If not, don't be too harsh on me.

So, I will enjoy this for now and go back again for more.

I know some might not like this, but it is my car and I like it. And some people have really been looking. Can't tell if it is a WTF look or a WOw look. But whatever the case, all at the Nissan Dealership I went to today looked at it more than twice.

Let me know what you think. Oh, am I the first 6thgen to do this? Just enjoy the pics.

Thanks man! You were fast! Got on the thread as I was posting pics. Well, as you have said it is nice, I am really pleased to hear that. That honestly means I will get better reviews since the first was positive, Since the first person has approved of it, I am glad. Thanks a lot.

With more blacked out things on the car like headlights or rims it would look better.

Or on a white car, those strips and something as simple as tints, will make it look real nice bc of the contrast. but still looks nice on your car

Umm, idk the tall slab sided fenders of the 6gens don't really go to well with GS stripes. BMWs and Vettes have shallow wide fenders so most of the stripe is on the plane of the hood.

The fenders are too tall to make it look "right". +1 on removing the pinstrip too, you can't have them both can you? Love the 7th gen rims tho.

It looks good from certain angles, but it looks like someone just put gorilla tape over your fenders at other angles.

It looks very different, but maybe with a more blacked out theme, it'll really set it off. Just like another member suggested but overall its nice!

Not my cup of tea, looks like electrical tape. I would have at least removed the pin stripe first.

Wow dude, freakin nice, I don't know what it is but it goes really well on your car, hit one out of the park for originality, it's probably officially the 1st 6th gen with Grand Sport stripes

I kinda wondered what those would look like. As someone else said, the fender is too tall and so Im gonna say no. +1 for boldness though

Looks like you're trying to hold your fenders together with gorilla tape...
