Rice or Nice...

I was thinking of doing something different and maybe taking the V8 Kompressor off the side and putting Cadillac's STS-V's Supercharged emblem on each side? Eh? What's y'alls opinions?

umm..is it a cadillac? if you need help in knowing if it is- ITS NOT! Why would you put a cadillac STS-V emblem on a mercedes...let alone your beautiful E55?!?!! I swear if you want to go ahead and do that to your car, then please let me have it or give it to someone else who appreciates the car and appreciates the subtleness of ' V8 Kompressor neatly pressed on the sides of the car............this is most definately rice in my books. Why not just put the cadillac hood emblem on there as well instead of the star if you really want to be a cadillac!?

You obviously have too much time on your hands. While you are at it, why dont you get some '69 Camaro SS decals with stripes and paste them across the bottom of your doors.

Yeah, looks great. While you are at it, you should replaced the Kompressor badge with a supercharged badge from a Pontiac Grand Prix.

Don't do it. The letters are way too boxy and they don't fit the car. Keep the Kompressor badges, theyre awesome. If you want something different, try painting them tectite grey or something. Black maybe?...

Thumbs down why?

why would you change something that's not meant to be there?
wouldn't that be similar to putting GTR emblem on a civic, or type R on a sentra?

I like watching people try to figure out what the heck a Kompressor is??

It's a blast, almost provokes them to race as they are confused and think it's some type of snippy N/A V-8...... til they get home and do the translation SUPERCHARGER!!!

Drive around Irvine for an hour and you'll find at least a half dozen VTEC Nissan''s!
