With all due respect to your vehicle's mechanics I can only comment that the graphics seem to compliment your various vents and badges

I'm not really a fan of insane graphics normally, but the car seems to be show and go (and looks it), which I do like, everything has been pulled off very professionally. Please, please, just take off the M3-style fake fender vents (and maybe the gas tank door Infiniti badge) and IMO it will look 2x better.

These are not fake fender vents, they are fully functional and I need them in Las Vegas to cool the engine compartment in heavy traffic and hot weather

To each his own, personally I feel the graphics are overkill.
We all know i30krab is fast, he has been for a while, but a once clean sleeper now looks really riced out. Only thing that makes it work for him is the power the car has to pull it off.
But once again, to each there own. If he likes it, then so be it.

Great I30 but the graphics are too much for my taste. I would do a custom two tone paint or something before I put graphics on my I30.

I'll probably be the first and last to say that I think it looks good. I think it works with his car.

clearly ur car is a bit much for the older, simpler tastes of the org but i think its good. and i can totally agree with the vents.. last summer it was 110 everyday in the shade, and around 100 at nite in vegas i was glad i had a rental car because my max a/c blows




pretty hot air i mean

Graphics are kewl, wish it would be a lil more subtle, seams like its a lil to much, but its really hard to get graphics done in a tastefull manner, enough to at least please everyone haha.

I like it all for the most part, as for the emblems and stuff i dont like. The infiniti on the wheels is a nice touch tho, i can dig that.

Really like the vents on the hood, and can appreciate that your at least blown with a nice list of mods...much respect

BTW, have you ever done any temperature readings in the engine bay to give an idea of how functional they really are? I can see them working, im just curious to know HOW much they work...

Im talkin about the vents on the hood and fenders...

What he meant is that once they see what's under the hood, the last thing they will be paying attention to are the decals and what not.

Ever hear of the phrase "Cleanliness is next to godliness"?
Power wash all that vinyl off and it will look great.
(Dont forget the infiniti logo on the rims....those puppies are too high end to be stickered up with anything)

BTW VIP Maxima, very nice original and clean max. I love the paint scheme...looks like a flat grey....You should really really do a 5 speed swap next in order to fully enjoy the car's potential.

I see the pics now...
Very nice drop.. what suspension set uo you running?
THe sticker package, might I suggest a mat or reflective white?
also, A32 CEfiro 1piece headlights would definetly compliment your ride.

Good job.... a little too flashy for me but hey, you are the owner of the car, not me...

not my taste but looks okay, too much fast and furious for me. You should keep it clean, take off the badges and stickers.

Wow, you guys sure spoke your mind!! I feel real bad hee hee. Believe me the car looks better in person, very aggressive! If nothing else it's a real head turner and when they hear the car rumble people in the know want to kook under the hood. That costs extra.

Part of it probably that it is all show AND go....
It definitely shows that you've put alot of money into your car, and if you like it, that's all that matter. There will always be people that love it, hate it, etc....
I think you did a great job with the theme you're going with!
