I got a chance to install the Nissan badge on the front grille. I could not use the JDM Skyline badge for the front since it is designed for an OEM grille. I discovered that the JDM Skyline badge for the front grille is identical in size to the badge used on the trunk of a 2020 Sentra, but my employee price for this part was $54?!? So I decided to use the same JDM Skyline badge for the trunk which is technically about 1/8"-1/4" in diameter smaller and it was only $14.
It's hard to get an interesting pic in your garage, but here you go. The badge looks nice and finalizes the outside. The chrome ties in nicely with the headlights and fog light openings. Now I just have to wait for my Nissan steering wheel air bag cover to arrive.

I finally got the chance to repair my headlight lenses. They look a lot better now. I just hope the clear coat lasts a long time.
This kit was fairly inexpensive on Amazon, but it worked well. You are supposed to use up both packets of clear coat and do 2 coats, but I was able to get 3 coats on each headlight out of one packet. Everything else is pretty straight forward and easy to use. You don't really need to use the green tape (not pictured) on the edges surrounding the headlights, but I bet some headlight designs could benefit from that protection.
It looked quite a bit worse in person, but both headlights were getting pretty hazy.
After sanding by hand with 1000 grit, 3000 grit, and then applying 3 coats of clear coat the headlights look like new again.

Very well done! They do look new. Keep those puppies waxed a few times a year.
Do you park outdoors often?

I got an e-mail this weekend that my Nissan steering wheel airbag cover finally shipped after being ordered on April 21st. I thought it already shipped, but it must have had to sit at Japanese customs for a long time or something along those lines. This will replace the last Infiniti emblem on my car.

Rochester- you were right about my license plate! Everyone thinks it says "save the millenials." So I am thinking of changing it for the general population who may not be gearheads so it is more easily understood. What do you guys think about this one?

IDK, the "D" just sounds so phonetically lazy. How about 6MT4EVR?

6MT4EVR is not bad, but I think people struggle with understanding 6MT. It also seems like the "4EVR" part is pretty overdone, but again, not a bad idea overall. Well, back to the drawing board for more ideas.
What about SV A 6SPD?
