Congratulations on purchasing one of the rarest Nismo decals ever <re>produced!
A couple comments before getting started:
- The kit is designed to be sectional. This will enable you to apply it easier than if it was one long pin stripe - The breaks in the lines will allow you to align the "Silvia" side script much more easily.
- If you have any questions, PLEASE reach out.
- Remember...Have patience or use a professional installer if it's too difficult.
- Kit is worked from front of car back - DO NOT start at the rear
Step 1: Clean your car and wipe it down with a lightly moistened isopropyl-alcohol paper towel where the kit will lay.
Step 2: Identify the LEFT side vs. the RIGHT side of the stripes. Each side has 3 stripe pieces and a Silvia logo; fender, door, rear quarter.
Step 3: Marking the fender. Mark the fender running lines with painters tape or masking tape:
- Furthest most (from top of fender, approximately 9.5 cm from corner tip of headlight) = 13 cm
- Middle (above wheel arch) = 16.3 cm
- Rear (from top tip of fender in front of pillar) = 15.5 cm
Step 4: Applying the fender section. Carefully peel and apply the fender piece to start - this will align your entire kit down the body of the car.
- Note - the fender piece will look like an arrow pointing forward with a small point facing the ground (see photo)
- Align it to the point of the Silvia headlight
- There will extra material towards the door to allow for alignment of the door piece
- Carefully slice the pin stripe between the door jam and the fender allowing the fender trim to tuck in between the gap
- Work in sections, and roll the applicator tape off the pinstripe with your thumb (don't pull straight off)
Step 5: Apply the door section. Carefully peel the door section (this is the straight section with no designs) and align it with the fender line.
- Follow the same process as the fender by carefully working and rolling the applicator tape off of the vinyl stripe
- The stripe will ride right above the door handle under the OEM body line
Step 6: Apply the rear fender section. Carefully peel the last section which has the checkered flag from the paper.
- Align the tip of the stripe to the door stripe
- From the corner of the fender where the trunk starts, you should be approximately 19 cm to the top of the pinstripe
Step 7: Align the Silvia side logo. The "Nissan Pure Sport" logo should be centered in the front fender gaps.
Step 8: Complete the other side!
Step 9: Apply the hood decal. This is really personal choice, but leverage the photo for a guide!
