Was feeling bored today so I decided to change up my front emblem. Need opinions on how it looks. Its plastidipped right now, so if it looks good I'll redo it in actual paint. You can see how it looked before in my sig.

Looks good, paint the Nissan a different color, say gold or bronze.

looks slick. i agree with mmkeller i think you should paint it bronze or even copper orange to offset the black. also i heard plastidip needs to be touched up every few months ? this true ?

Hate on it all you guys want, but I've had plastidip on my front emblem for over a year and a half, and have had no problems whatsoever with it, even going through 2 Canadian winters and one Arizona summer!

^Agreed, plastidip is good stuff. I've had it on my wheels for almost a year now, it's just a PITA to maintain, on the wheels at least.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I'll see what color I want to paint the letters
