Hi everyone im brand new to this forum and i wanted to show off my little Versa i guess. i have plenty of plans for my car, more than i can list. got this car when i was 17 and have had it since November.

Now i just got this window tint like last week.

Front and Back window are 32%
Rear Hatch is 20%

Yessir. My sedan is 2010 1.6 and the bumper grille is color matched(not black) so I had to paint both grilles. Just sand and paint. I painted my emblem as well.

Thats fine, just make sure you take your time and sand it or else it'll chip.

Are you painting the emblem as well?

No problem. And I personally like how the Versa looks with the black Nissan emblems, I also prefer OEM parts, but that would look good too, there are 2 options...versaspeed grille and ebay grille...versaspeed grille is around $140 and ebay grille is around $80. They're both pretty good...it all depends on how much you're willing to spend.

You can also cover the holes on your OEM grille, dont know how to do that though.

JB Weld or epoxy the holes closed, sand, then paint and clear. You won't realize there were holes in it if it's done correctly.

I noticed you are from near where I grew up, when I was your age I had a car with really dark window tint. I ended up removing it because I got tired of constantly being pulled over for having too-dark windows. Are the cops less concerned about this now or something? Seriously, I got fix-it tickets monthly until I removed it. Image
Your V looks great, BTW.
Oh yeah when you go to paint your grille, make sure you wipe everything down REALLY well with denatured alcohol, if there's any silicone/grease/wax on there the paint will just flake off if it even sticks in the first place. Using "Krylon Fusion" paint helps too since it's actually made for sticking to plastic stuff. In case you didn't know this already...

well... lets see
first i was in my probationary licenses( im only 18)
i got a speeding ticket for going 40 in a 25 which wasnt that bad.
then 6 months later i got another speeding ticket for going 99 in a 65(cant complain i was actually going 108) (racing) and i got the ticket for having to much people in my car also from the same time i got the speeding ticket. Speeding ticket was 12 points and so on. Car seated 5 and that's how many people i had but there is the stupid rule that i can only have 1 other friend in the car due to my probationary licenses.
