The Clean Vs The Sporty Looking.

[Spunky Munky]

Hey fellas,

I've been thinking about a new look for my jet-black R33 GTR. I was thinking of removing all badges and stickers off my car and just keeping it nice and clean.

To be honest, I've been a bit of a 'sticker whore' in recent years, e.g. Tuning shop's stickers on the top of the front windscreen, side windows and rear window plus a few Nismo and HKS stickers etc in a few places (guilty as charged)...plus, on one occasion I even had Nismo side strip decals on the sides of my car too...

However, I think I've had enough of this and like my car to look clean just not too sure if have it badgeless and stickerless is a bit to extreme in pursuit of the JDM racer look. What do you guys think?

CLEAN JDM SPEC (will also remove front/rear GTR badge too:

OR the RACE SPEC (with as much stickers if not more)?

Please post up some examples of your ideal look.

race spec would attract HEAPS of attention.

unless your car is 100% legal itd be nothing but harassment by the boys in blue.

that said i love the race spec look, it'd be good on a car that does occasional track work, but for a street car however, it'd be a little over the top.

clean look it is...

i rekon ditch the spoiler, leave the stock body kit alone, nice low ride height and some simple rims like Te37s in the bottom pic, or Dirfteks. meshies/busy rims look horrid on R33s IMO...

clean look but keep the gtr badges

[NA_Goodness]

Keep the 2 GTR badges, or at least the rear badge and the 1970's GTR badge on the front (looks beautiful!) then get rid of everything else. And if ou want to go a little further, shave the side GT badges, aerial, rear wiper blade, and anything else thats in the way. Add maybe 1 or 2 club stickers, and you'll be good to go! Like Cam said, through on some nice simple rims (not Drifteks, too heavy and shit. LMGT4 instead) and you'll be laughing!

1970's GTR badge on the front (looks beautiful!

Word.

[Spunky Munky]

Word.

yep. As you guys probably already know from another thread of mine, I'm trying to source this 1970's badge. After I decide with what look I will adopt, the next step is to go crazy on performance.

Why the hell would you want to get rid of the GTR badges

Just keep it looking clean. A little tiny sticker here or there isn't a sin. But don't do the whole shopping list door thing.

Damn go all the way and return it to stock *****

I have seen a few jdm racer cars. No badges or stickers. Looks tough as...you guys agree? A gtr is recognizable anywhere. I just debadged my gtr. Took everything off. Thinking of debadging the side gt badges too now.

[NA_Goodness]

Just be aware that behind the GT badges are small holes, so you'll need to get them filled.

Do you guys think I should remove my gtr badges? Any pictures of badgeless vs badges gtr's?

[Brandon]

Hahaha. Did you google that or grab it off some post I've posted sometime ago. Seriously, I love that white GTR look. I wish mine look like that but everyone seems to be against the "wish list" look. Actually there isnt THAT many stickers on the white one too. Anyway still thinking about it but probably wouldnt be doing it. Hahaha

[Brandon]

What the f**k you on about?

Maybe he likes the lagginess of the twin or enjoy seeing the car with the 4WD look.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

clean all the way

[Daz305]

i recon you should keep the gtr badges on it mate

[SiR_RB]

keep the GTR badges and V-Spec sticker (if its a v-spec), but dnt add the shopping list, keep it clean and smooth

Ive had my 33 with some pretty full on graphics on it and never had any police attention caused by the look of it, this is with vented bonnet after market wheels lowered, , sparco race seat, 3in exhaust (not a quiet one either) all of which are things that can get noticed... Im not exactly low profile driver either, definitely not a sleeper look...

so maybe its something else that is attracting the cops to other modified car drivers...

I reckon go for what you like best...
