I installed the Nismo graphics kit yesterday. This kit is from a Sentra, so I had to change some of the pieces to fit the V. It came out OK.

The three large stripes for the hood were terrible when I was done. The Sentra hood is pretty flat, and the Versa is very curvy. I abandoned them. The side stripes are different which was what I wanted. I have the Nismo on both front corners of the hood. I still haven't decided if I like the red/white/gray kit more than the red/black/gray kit.

The kit was free, so I started with it. I hope to tint the windows, maybe lower it with strut bars, and some other stuff this summer. Wheel/tire package maybe for Christmas if I get some bills paid off by then.

Thanks for the comments.

I'm sorry...and I know I'm going to come off a little "Red Devilish" but it's a poser car. You have a Versa S without even rims and you're putting Nismo graphics on there. You're implying something your car is not. I'm all for graphics and if done right they look good. But by putting Nismo on it it states that you have Nismo performance parts in your car and it is up to the Nismo standards.

It's like those guys who get just the Saleen body kit for their Mustangs but never get any of the performance mods.

To each his own I guess. I'm not normally negative but I couldn't pass this one up.

Well, first off... There will not be a Nismo S-tune produced for the NA market, so I have to build one from scratch. It's a dealer option in Japan. I am having trouble getting parts from Japan. It's not a "poser" car when there doesn't exist a legitamate car to pose off of, now is it?

Secondly, don't judge the car until it's finished. The graphics were free to me, so I took them when they were offered. I plan on lowering it with wheels, tint, strut bars, etc. Until they are free, I have to save up my pennies to get stuff as I can. I am building it as I have money available.

Thanks for the look though. You at least gave it a peek to make a decision.

I understand all that but you also don't call a caterpillar a butterfly until it has actually become a butterfly. I'm just sayin'.

The graphics do look good...especially on your magnetic gray V. I just don't agree with the actual Nismo part.

People can put whatever decals they want on their car. If you do so, have a reason for it or back it up. Decals without a purpose tend to be ricey and attract too much attention.

Give me some time to build my car. I will be building a clean V, I promise. The graphics were given to me. There may be a special V in the future, so I am building a prototype to see how it comes out. Maybe mine will turn out nice enough that a future V will be based off it. So I will be using as much Nismo stuff as I can to keep it Nissan (and not be "poser-ish").

I have been taking notes on what everyone else on this board has done. Some it I like and will be doing to mine when I have funds available.

I like the look, but tinting would complete the package. I gotta get mine tinted soon.

Looks really good.

But I guess if you put rims on folks will expect you to run in the Indianapolis 500!!!

Besides, each graphic adds 5hp. Everybody knows that... so I count like an additional 25hp to that V right there...

(Okay, in case no one has noticed, my car has 8 vinyl graphics... just saying, I know tone isn't always obvious over the interwebz)
