The Clean Vs The Sporty Looking.

[DriftinThruLife]

You have to remember... Fast n Furious came out like 9 years ago man.....that boat has sailed (i watched it again the other day, and never realised how lame those stickers/graphics were. Especially the "toyo tyres" stickers throughout the whole body. So unless it's for the track and you have sponsors....ditch the stickers.

Back when I had an R32, I thought I was the hottest little sh*t in town, with my checkered flag graphics and Nismo stickers n stuff....Looking back they looked ugly as hell....and stupid too (unless you have something like 1000hp under the hood to back it up with). Now I have ONE vinyl decal on my rear window, but it's got nothing to do with brands etc.

As for the badges... They are thief-magnets (I dunno whether they steal them to replace their own, or just for souvenirs or what) On 3 seperate occasions on my last car, I had the badges stolen (little thieving b******s), and since they used a knife or screwdriver to tear them off, it left big ugly scratches all over the place. These were the GT badges on the sides, and the skyline "S" badge on the front.

That being said....if you own a GTR, don't take off your GTR badges! Why pay double the price for a GTR, when untrained eyes won't even be able to tell without the badges?

If you have a clean car, with a decent paint job + polish etc...looks beautiful.

For the untrained eyes who see a GTR badge they wont respect it anyway, as I've seen GTR badges on banged up 4d sedans r33 and just normal cars these days that they ruin a true GTR

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^True about the untrained eyes.

Some ppl will still think it is just a car.

Even without a spoiler, ppl might still think it is a GTS-T.

Like my R32 GTR, it does not have the rear spoiler and thought it was a GTS-T.

I see what you mean...I am loving the clean look...took my GTR for a spin from the workshop the other day...a few other Skylines lined up next to me and said...hey, is that a GTR? I'm like - nah nah, it's just a stock GTS and when they heard the roar of the twin turbos and the RB26 they were like, you lied...I was like, yeah I guess I did! lol

LOL!

You got the stealth look for sure.

I honestly dont understand why you would want people to think your car is a stock GTS.....but each to their own.

[Mevo]

I will go Clean / Stealth just because I'm tired of cop thinking " here another racer " LOL

Uumm....to the untrained eye yes...but to people that have respect for the GTR...with or without badges... A GTR will always be a GTR...wide body stance, flared guards and the sound of the RB26DETT is enough.

[PM-R33]

Fair enough, but you said you told them it was a GTS, hence my point, nothing to do with untrained eyes. Also, you don't have to have untrained eyes to not quickly know the difference, there is that many GTR body kitted GTST's and GTS's around most times i can't tell from a distance till i get close and i could gaurantee most people on here would be the same. You said so yourself "a few skylines lined up next to me and said, hey is that a GTR". The gaurds isn't something you can notice till you are close, especially on dark cars (why they couldn't tell i do not know), side indicators being different is the main thing you can pick from a distance. Hell i've tried showing the difference to my girlfriend numerous times and she still doesn't really see the difference (mainly cause she doesn't care though).

However it's a stock R33 GTR though, not a Lambo, you are making it sound like something it aint, hope it aint getting to your head just cause its "a GTR" cause from that last post it sounds like it is.

Hi mate...oh did I say that...might be a misstype if I had...not going to tell people I have a GTS when it's a GTR. I don't want to make the GTR seemed 'all that' - quite the opposite actually mate...want it to look stock mainly because I am becoming a fan of the clean look and also to attract the least attention I can on the roads.

Yeah, there's a few differences alright, but I agree that most Skylines on the road wear GTR items - this is because it looks nicer, I guess...nothing wrong with that as long as there's no GTR badge.

[TaKz]

easiest way to tell from a distance are the side indicators! unless they do go out of their way and change them as well haah

my car just got the gtr wing and 400r front bar no badges or stickers !

but going to put a small rear window sticker soon like in the corner

[DELLER]

If it was me i would keep those GTR badges, and the clearn look is better than the sporty look

[brother_david]

^+1 unless its got a show-style bodykit, then i would have stickers... well all over depending on what look im after, timeattack, drift etc etc

[Mevo]

clean and stealth.

No one will guess what you have under the hood when you keep it simple. (ok maybe the brake, but most people don't care about brake )

Make it simple and yes! keep the badge imo.

Very nice garage

[Mevo]

Actually it is not my garage. I'm away from home for a year, so I left it to my friend house.

[Craig SLO33]

just depends on what you want your car to look like.I dont mind a few stickers in the right spot,but most GTRs look sweet without any .Just keep it simple

[choy]

grey on is better
