I got a machine that makes stickers, its just a chrome colored vinyl, with anbout 3mm of glaze on top so its really durable, and looks proffessional, its hard to tell the difference

Personally, I think they'd look better if they were a little darker. I think they look a little to bling bling But like I said before, not bad

That brightness factor is a little blingy for me.

On my old coupe I just used the S14 "240SX" badge, it looked pretty decent. New one has Silvia trunk key-hole badge (I didn't put it on there), but most don't notice and its not horrible.

i don't like the font you used. i think the oem font is better.

still cool that you can do that though.

i concur. icky font. I just ripped my 240sx emblem off, had to do a lot of wet-sanding to get the ghost of it to disappear but definitely worth it. Makes the car look cleaner. For some reason Nissan went crazy with the badges on the s13's trunk. Way too many.

Yeah I just got rid of my badge in the back as well. Looks real clean that way. New emblem looks pretty good though.
