Not feeling the centered emblem. Would look much better if it wasn't there at all.

Tell you what. Print off a picture of your 'baby finger' avatar.
Blow it up real big and hold it in front of the person who told you that. Then smile and walk away.

Hehehehe! Illegal! Bwahahahaha! What?

Looks a lot like the one on my B13. What's interesting is that I don't like the offset emblem on the B14 grille, but I love it on mine - I get compliments all the time. I think it has to do with the shape of the grille opening. I would ditch the emblem myself. Good work!

here's my opinion: it's ok, but it could be better.
First off, what kind of mesh did you use? it looks almost invisible. It's a good effect, but it's not too pretty underneath, I suggest a more noticeable mesh, or something that blocks out the unsightly horn, metal bars and radiator.

Second, there seems to be a gap between the hood and the grill, I also notice that a little with the headlights and the hood. Did you hapen to rip out that black rubber border that lines the front of the hood? The gap in there is a big minus.

And Third, the emblem idea always seems neat in theory, but I've seen this idea before and it never seems to look good. I say, if you want to keep the emblem (which I would to show who I represent) I would mount it center on the hood like on a 240sx and keep the grill nice and empty and clean. (BTW, DON'T get a GT-R emblem)

thanks for the comments... the reason the front end looks the way it does.. is cuz the car was wrecked when i got it... i bought it for only 500 bucks... the guy said the car was unrepairable... but i saw it and said fuck no it aint... all it needed was the fenders and well the whole front end.... everything else was straight.... the guy left it in neutral one day and forgot to put the car in parking and it rolled down a hill like 10 feet and hit a tree.. it looked messed up but the car was still straight.. so it is missing some pieces and I am going to buy them pretty soon. as for the mesh on the grill i used some mesh that the homies put on all there cars... it is really nice to work with.. i was thinkin of painting it white so you couldnt see into it that good.. but hey thanks for the comments.....as for the emblem i am prolly gonna take it off.. but i was talking to a police officer the other night at the races and he said the the car really doesnt need to have the badges but some officers can give you shit for that..cuz supposedly it is a false identification of a car....

No emblem is not a legality issue at all. You can be completely withou temblems. If someone is dumb enough to not be able to recognize a Sentra, or a 200SX, then they deserve to pay you what yo uask if yo utry to sell it as a BMW 3 series or something. As for driving it around on your own like that, then no, you will never have a problem with this.

i never really liked the nissan emblem to start with but its better than an A, H, a funky T or in infinity or daewoo's case it looks like the emblem on the top of a pack of Doral's (cheap tree twig smokes)
