Just curious, do you ever have any hesitation of displaying that, knowing what the ww2 vets think of when they see the rising sun? I know what it means in itself, vey cool and all, but do any regret what it means to people that fought for us? I don't think it's right to tell people what to do or think, I'd hate anyone telling me that, just wondering if you hadn't thought about it, or it's the true meaning that makes you want to decorate your Datsuns that way, or both. Obviously, i'm not anti Japan (Definitely not anti american :) ), look what my favorite vehicle is, My grandpa, after he fought in WW2, bought a Datsun and loved it (they were barely involved in the war, even as any kind of support vehicle btw). Just a little question burning in my mind, that I thought I might as well ask. Love the design itself and the true meaning of it btw :)

Nah, none taken, I asked for opinions, how could I be pissed you got one :)? They do remember Hiroshima the same as we remember pearl harbor. "A day that lives on in infamy" I for one prefer the rats and wrenches, but that's just me, I have my reasons, but I'll never do the dixie flag, or the Nazi symbol either. Anyone else can of course, do as they please, this is the free country right?

There are people that will be offended by anything. I am not one of them. The question that I have dropped now was about offending a certain dying group that has good reason to be offended by that. Truth is, they fought for our freedom. This is one of them. The american flag would be offensive in Nazi controlled united states too, but that wouldn't be allowed to be displayed, i'm sure. Now back to your badass rising suns :)

might not be the rising sun, maybe almost american standard to hippies and the daisy flower but i did a lil research and came across this imperial emperor seal and thought it was quit interesting. rising sun is more military and navy oreinted, this was the seal of japan and thought, if done right would look pretty good some where on a datto. what do you guys think??0a67afdc.jpg
