HEY HEY HEY

I'm trying to get the accent stripe for my two tone coupe and when I go on a couple sites they have two options with one costing more than the other.. so my question is why and what's the difference? Aren't all the damn stripes the same old black or what am I missing here?

link to both
Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com[99045N]+\(S13&cPath=1418_1419_1578_1582

and here's the other site with the same deal
1989 Nissan 240SX Accent Stripe - 9791351

As you can see, they're both for the same location and have the same part numbers too. (LH door)
So I don't get it. What's the difference? Only thing I see is the list of color codes under specs that are different but if the stupid line/stripe is black on all the cars then why should it matter?

Confused Bambi is confused.



tl;dr 18 year old kid needs help in trying to restore a pos 24 yo Nissan.

Buy the more expensive one and keep that mentality throughout your entire car build.

I don't know if you're being serious or just typical Zilvia :mrmeph:.
:/


But, if you are serious. I already have my goals list set to not cut corners at all. As you can see, I'm even buying a stupid black stripe in attempt to keep the car looking clean. BUT with this being that it's the same thing, I don't want to have to spend extra money I could've saved by just asking around.:angel:

you will want to buy both left and right... it's going to annoy you if you're anal when one side looks way better

Black electrical tape, and a straight edge. Shit works. Stays on.
