Nismo B Pillar Garnish

[kittykat11]

Hey there people

I tried to do a search but couldn't find anything...

Has anyone bought the Nismo B Pillar garnish for the R34?

If you have, or seen them installed in person, what did u think?

Opinions please

seen em on other 34s in person, looks alright i guess but dont think its worth spending $120 on a couple c/f look stickers unless you really want it...

and its not a place were it can easily be noticeable

[kittykat11]

carbon fibre "look" ? As in...the kind of carbon fibre "look" on the tacky altezza's? Or carbon "look" on chinese made gauge pods? It won't look identical to a genuine carbon bonnet or lip?

[R-SPEC]

lol was kidding, its not just a sticker. its actual carbon fibre

Looks like crap unless your car is covered in cf... white or black otherwise dont do it.

[kittykat11]

my car is white with black work meisters and i'll get my carbon bonnet soon enough...

will that do?

[RusH_]

yes it will, do it . besides if u think it looks good, thas all that matters, but the colour combo should work well

[Granthem]

i would like them for my car. ads a nice touch i believe. exxxxxy though

[DECIM8]

Hummm yes kittykat that will work nicely..

They are actual carbon fibre with a sticky backing, so yeah its a sticker, but it is actual carbon fibre. They look really good but like people have said, they are expensive, $110-$120. I'm getting some for mine soon to match my carbon mirrors

ooooh! carbon mirrors! i've always considered carbon mirrors, but then i thought it'd be just a tad bit too much...at least the b pillars are more subtle.

Grrr....thanks a lot PM-R33...now you got me thinkin more!

[Yo-Yo]

I've got a set on mine,

silver GT-t

I'll post a pic if I can find one when I get home later

[kittykat11]

Aww that'd be awsome Yo-Yo thanks heaps!

Pftt they are not homo and how old are we talking? I know of ones that have been on a car for a few years and they still look fine. Its just carbon fibre with a clear coat or resin over it, so how would it differ from a carbon bonnet or any other piece of carbon?

[kittykat11]

thats what i was wondering? i don't think people would be willing to buy all those expensive carbon bonnets, boots and wings if they had to keep replacing them or painting over them after a few years of use...?

I've had mine for over 2 years now and they are still in top condition

here ya go kittkat11, pics don't do it justice. The perfect compliment to any other carbon bits you have on a car, I'm gonna get a set of CF Ganadors when the side mirror motors give out

I'm gonna buy a pair for my z when they inevitably drop in price

Hey that looks good! Mine are all faded and stuff, would like some of those CF's but cant seem to justify the price for them...

Can you get non-nismo ones?

[kittykat11]

Woo hoo! Thanks heaps for that Yo-Yo! From what i can tell, they look awesome!! I'm gonna go buy some soon, once i've got my list together so i can send for all my stuff together! Woot!

now...where to find that damn carbon boot lip spoiler...grr...

[jrm]

My R34 sedan came with some sort of carbon-fibre look-alike when I bought it (fairly common on the sedan from what I gather) - but it's not marked nismo as in the 2-door.

The carbon garnish was already slightly damaged when I bought the car, but 18 months on it's starting to annoy me more any more - I wish I could replace it with something nicer

Thoughts?
