: NISSAN decal / lettering on front of roof rack - need a new one
sanboy 01-29-2007, 11:04 PM on the front of the roof rack
the white NISSAN lettering... the 2003 X i am looking at purchasing could really use a new one .. looks likle nothing but a decal ..
does anyone know if NISSAN sells them . or i have to go to a vinyle place and get it special made
some people have said to PAINT it .. but i have seen a couple really bad paint jobs .. so i would rather not try and paint a FULL letter N ...
i cant be the only one to ever have this problem ..
Anthony 01-30-2007, 10:37 AM You've posted this on nearly every forum on the web... haven't found an answer you like yet???
sanboy 01-30-2007, 11:28 AM who cares man .. seriously ... does it really bother you that much ..
anyways .. yea most of the answers are " PAINT IT " which i think is a horrible idea ..
anyways . sorry if it really bothered you ... i can never understand why people care if someone posts on multiple boards .. that is what these boards are for .. for people to post ..
have a good day man
Anthony 01-30-2007, 12:23 PM Do you have the embossed letters or the vinyl decal?
sanboy 01-30-2007, 02:58 PM the decal type
json3904 01-30-2007, 04:37 PM this is the shot of my 00 se is this what you are talking about, http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h255/jsongrl/General/100_1430.jpg
alright you cant see it on my X but Ricer's is next to mine and it is a 04. is that the decal you are talking about?
Anthony 01-30-2007, 05:24 PM I'd either go to the dealer and see if they can get you a decal or just have someone cut it out of vinyl for you.
I'm not sure what other answers you're looking for ???
unclehardrock 01-30-2007, 07:48 PM i'd check with a local graphic design shop if you can find one. they should be able to duplicate the font and cut you some vinyl graphics no prob. that's what my brother does for a living, and i've had him make all kinds of custom graphics for me. i have them on my motorcycle and on my x- never had any problem with them fading or peeling off

Johnson 01-30-2007, 08:12 PM Check out Ebay man, i seen a few on there i think.
also try www.carstuff.com Pretty sure i saw some there too........dont take my word for it though.
rusty_nuts 02-02-2007, 08:11 PM Yes... Nissan does sell the decals. Just heat up the old one with a heat gun and pull it off. Then stick the new one on.
json3904 02-04-2007, 01:23 AM well i took another look at my wind deflector and i dont have a decal there mine is made into the deflector, just raised letters
sanboy 02-04-2007, 09:02 AM some are raised and some are decals .. seems likel most 03 + are decals ..
Anthony 02-04-2007, 09:34 AM well i took another look at my wind deflector and i dont have a decal there mine is made into the deflector, just raised letters
Then you can either paint it/have it painted. Or try to find a used deflector that has all the lettering intact.
My suggestion would be to get a foam brush (or a small foam paint roller) and some white paint and do it up. With the foam brush or roller you won't even have to tape off the letters just paint the raised areas. Should be very easy, and I'm sure it will look great with the shiny new white lettering.
[Please notice in this response I have quoted json3904, and therefore my response is directed to him and/or anyone else with the raised plastic letters...]
sanboy 02-04-2007, 12:40 PM I actually started this thread ... but it has been said mulitple times now . that i was actually looking for decals .. not painting.. i do not have the raised ones ..
json3904 02-04-2007, 03:03 PM i know you started the thred i was just posting on what mine looked like so you could get a suggestion on the situation................. OK
Anthony 02-04-2007, 03:20 PM Sanboy, your dealership won't order the decal for you?
json3904 02-04-2007, 03:38 PM if not just go to a vinyal comp. on the web and tell him what you want and order it simple!!!!!
