I got a chance to install the Nissan badge on the front grille. I could not use the JDM Skyline badge for the front since it is designed for an OEM grille. I discovered that the JDM Skyline badge for the front grille is identical in size to the badge used on the trunk of a 2020 Sentra, but my employee price for this part was $54?!? So I decided to use the same JDM Skyline badge for the trunk which is technically about 1/8"-1/4" in diameter smaller and it was only $14.

It's hard to get an interesting pic in your garage, but here you go. The badge looks nice and finalizes the outside. The chrome ties in nicely with the headlights and fog light openings. Now I just have to wait for my Nissan steering wheel air bag cover to arrive.

 

I finally got the chance to repair my headlight lenses. They look a lot better now. I just hope the clear coat lasts a long time.

This kit was fairly inexpensive on Amazon, but it worked well. You are supposed to use up both packets of clear coat and do 2 coats, but I was able to get 3 coats on each headlight out of one packet. Everything else is pretty straight forward and easy to use. You don't really need to use the green tape (not pictured) on the edges surrounding the headlights, but I bet some headlight designs could benefit from that protection.


It looked quite a bit worse in person, but both headlights were getting pretty hazy.


After sanding by hand with 1000 grit, 3000 grit, and then applying 3 coats of clear coat the headlights look like new again.

 

Very well done! They do look new. Keep those puppies waxed a few times a year.

Do you park outdoors often?

 

It sits outside at work during the day, but is garaged at home. If this clear coat lasts 7 years like the factory lights, I will be more than happy. However, I very much doubt that will happen.

 

I got an e-mail this weekend that my Nissan steering wheel airbag cover finally shipped after being ordered on April 21st. I thought it already shipped, but it must have had to sit at Japanese customs for a long time or something along those lines. This will replace the last Infiniti emblem on my car.

 

Rochester- you were right about my license plate! Everyone thinks it says "save the millenials." So I am thinking of changing it for the general population who may not be gearheads so it is more easily understood. What do you guys think about this one?

 

No way. I'm sorry, man. I was just goofing on you. It never occurred to me someone would actually think that.


IDK, the "D" just sounds so phonetically lazy. How about 6MT4EVR?

 

Is there enough room for "SVDA6SPD"?

 

I agree, the "save the millenials" you mentioned never even occurred to me, my wife, my 1 1/2 year old daughter, or our dog. (I blame the dog.) Probably because we are all so "car-minded" around here. But today I had the 5th and 6th person from work ask me why I wanted to save millenials. I had to laugh, but at the same time I also felt like crying because I had so many plate ideas and it seemed like it took forever to pick this one. The "D" in my plate is just due to lack of room and ironically no one has figured out that it means "the" but everyone gets millenials out of mnls?!? So maybe this time you could mention something like that BEFORE I order the damn plates.

6MT4EVR is not bad, but I think people struggle with understanding 6MT. It also seems like the "4EVR" part is pretty overdone, but again, not a bad idea overall. Well, back to the drawing board for more ideas.

What about SV A 6SPD?

Well good for you Rochester!

 

Wait, wait. I got it. IDOSTICK

My daughter suggested MAN4ME. That works too.



I can do this all night, LOL.

Again, good for you for coming out Rochester. We support you. Now if we could get back on topic, that would be great.
