Looks good
I think I'd remove the letters in back and just leave the logo back there though.
Always like the Red w/ black trim, nice combo!

various products

rustolium plastic gloss spray paint with automotive enamel gloss (clear) for the engine piece and plasti dipped the grill, letters and spoiler. Tried to plasti the window chrome pieces but didn't like it and it wanted to no peel funny over the skinny pieces. Plus it needs to be gloss i think instead of flat.

was thinking about that

I was thinking about that but ill wait till my next day off and ill remove the dealership stickers while i am at it. Also noticed a weird scratch when i was cleaning it... have no idea how it got there unless a jacked up truck tapped my trunk near my tail light.. i might have to go see a paint guy soon. I am really good with rattle can but not that good

Sorry to hear about the scratch, always sucks to have something amiss when you strive to keep everything in perfect shape. If you ever want to black out your chrome my DIY makes it simple and matches the factory wrapped door pillars perfectly.

Final thought

Whats with nissans paint. bumper gets chips... hood gets chips. Probably start researching a different paint that's really close to laser red and spray the car in it. FYI ill probably keep this car for a long time unless something else comes out that i just have to have.

Badges look real good like that against the red. Duckbill, not so much.

Brave guy.

piece on

Sad thing is... the piece looks great.... but now the rest of the engine bay needs work.. Think the engine cover will go gloss black next with the grey part going red. Also just installed the stillen plate re-locator so i can stop worrying every time a cop looks at the car. The duck bill iam still not sure on. going to wait till i get my tail lights smoked before i decide. great thing about plati dip.. you just peel it off.
