Not sure if this is this place to post but....

blckzhep · 08-12-2015, 05:05 PM

I've looked and searched but can't seem to find a thread. I believe only the '14 model came with the bottom stripes? Any who, I liked the idea at first.... Not so much now. So after looking at them closely it appears that they're only vinyl? I'm not so sure on it but trying to see what options are before sending off to the painter and matching it to the rest of the car. (Car is Magnetic Black with Graphite Grey? front, sides, and rear)

I thought it was just a stick on... Did you try preling it off slowly and carefully? Ive done this on a 350 before... The sooner the better too, as it starts to weather it.. Ive seen it left on and eventually baked into the paint by the sun. After years of course

Yeah that's kinda what I had in mind myself was to peel it as I bought it in July pretty much brand new (738 miles) but I wanted to make sure it was vinyl before attempting to do so. I don't care so much for the front lip (nismo lip) or rear bumper but more so the side skirt.

Do you mean the Nismo model?

Because my 2014 Sport touring has no stripes.

Hmm, I wasn't sure if it was only the Nismo model or any other but yes mine is a Nismo model. I probably should've added that in the OP

I was under the impression that the red stripe was tape and the grey was actually painted.

cooltoy · 08-12-2015, 06:59 PM

By the way, the place for this would be the exterior and interior section, or the NISMO section.

blckzhep · 08-12-2015, 07:07 PM

Interesting... Just curious to know/see what others have done with it

cooltoy · 08-12-2015, 10:47 PM

Thus the Nismo section, more fish there.

TriNismo · 08-13-2015, 12:41 AM

I have a PW 14 Nismo, and after inspecting the area/lines between the white and gunmetal bottom, this is what I discovered. On the side skirts, the gunmetal area overlaps the white, while the front and rear bumper it's the opposite.. the white overlaps the gunmetal. Which means it's not a vinyl decal because that would make the white bumpers vinyl. So I'm pretty sure it's paint, but I guess if you really want to find out, try pulling a section off in an inconspicuous area like the fender wells.

The red stripes are definitely vinyl decals.

I did something different, I added more red to the bottom

Did you add paint or more vinyl?

I actually like the red accent, wished they started them in 2012

It's vinyl. Just in case I want to take it off in future, it'll be easy. Adds a little more pop to the car, esp PW color

Looks really good. What brand/type of vinyl did you use? from where?

I can't remember brand/type, but I remember it comes in specific width and length. So you have to get what's available, not what you need. I ended up getting a lot more than I need, to be safe.. 4 in width X 50 ft length. Oh, and there're various reds, I got dark red to match as close to the Nismo red. I paid around $85.

My inspiration was from this concept

If you want to purchase OEM stripes, prepare to pay

I was saving the remainder of my roll for future use, but if you want it, $50 shipped it's yours. Still 40 feet 2 in left. Just an option for you. LMK, good luck
