If mine ever said 325-350 I would know the wife has been driving. Why? I have no idea as I'm sure I drive it harder than she does.

It was an ebay purchase, plenty of people offering custom made car stickers.

This one was 350mm across, but that included "www." which I didn't want, so cut it off.
It doesn't tell me the height or font sadly.

I thought when it arrived it was too big, so jumped on ebay & bought from someone else.
The other seller said no sticker of theirs would but taller than 9cm, all depending on characters used.

I used the original one in the end at 350mm across, minus the WWW & as you can see it fits nicely in the window.
Just have a quick ebay search, you'll probably find plenty out there, they are cheap too.

Today - picked up the 2010 Kiz after a CVT trans fluid flush. Ran me $450 at the former Suzuki dealer (Wayne, NJ). Ouch!
Said it was flushed three times per spec, that's the reason for the high price. Replaced the battery - still had the original. $180. Replaced the rear brake pads, and trimmed rotors - odd thing is, this Kiz runs the rear brake pads out at 3/2 the rate of the front. Running pretty well as we close in on the last month of the 7 year warranty (have 68,500 miles).

That's where I bought my used 2012 Kizashi GTS from in 2015. Im at about 105,000 now. I want to change the fluid but Im afraid to just take it anywhere in fear that they may damage the CVT. Im tempted to take the ride there just so it could be done right. Don't want any issues with the CVT. They occasionally send me coupons for service, so I can save some money there. Did you have to make an appointment? Was it same day service?

I would be comfortable taking it to a Nissan dealer as this same CVT is in many of their models.

Took Azumi and the Cruze to the car wash today, since it was almost 70*F in the sun. I also bought a microfiber windshield wand and busted out the Invisible Glass to wipe down the windows, inside and out. Now I can see out the rear window of both of my cars, and the glare from the setting sun no longer completely obscures the windshields.

Facebook reminded me that I brought home my Kizashi five years ago today. While at the time it was a bit of a stretch financially and was a registration/titling hot mess, it ended up paying off down the line! So I guess I'll wish her a happy adoption day on the way home.
