Debadging?

I did mine a couple years ago, but naked is definitely the way to go in my opinion.

I'm going to either be getting the rims powdercoated gloss black or going with a new set next. They're looking pretty rough these days and with 101,000 miles it needs a little freshening up.

For 100k miles, you still have that black shining! Looks good.

I second DesRado, car looks great at 100k!

Exactly how mine looks in back. I really enjoy the looks on the faces of other drivers as they try to figure out "What's a Kizashi?".

Well I think it was two summers ago that I took those pics....I haven't posted them in a while. The car is still looking good but I have had the entire front end and roofline resprayed because the rock chips were so bad. I'll probably do it again in a couple years if I plan on keeping the car much longer after that but I'm pretty anal about making sure it is taken care of right. It's never seen a carwash that wasn't touchless and everything else I do in the driveway.

As of right now, she could use a good detail

What'd it cost to have the bumper resprayed. Mine is has paint literally falling off in 4"x4" flakes (was repainted after deer collision) clearly not very well.

I think everything was $1000 or $1500 but I know a guy and he did the fenders, bumper, hood, roof line, one of the doors, and maybe even the mirrors.

I'm in the US if that matters. It would be nice if the site shared location under the username in posts.

You're supposed to put your location in your profile so it shows up over there ----------->

I tried to tone down the S by making it appear as if it is behind the grille. Somewhat successful, IMHO, but the store only had ¼". It really needs to be ⅜" at a minimum. I solved by overlapping, but will redo when I get the proper size pin striping.

BTW, I've watched the YouTube videos showing use of a heat gun. I used some soft cotton cooking string like a floss-saw & took only a couple of minutes. No damage. Probably much safer.
