Look closely, you'll see the texture of the side markers, look closer (pics aren't detailed enough) and you'll see "Stanley" on it

Are you saying that you make the ones that are being represented as "JDM" and sold by the vendor located in Taiwan, or that you have made something similar by hacking up side markers on some kind of hamburger backing ?

(I got the front right)

it's also a bit crooked...sigh...

is there a way to paint the "Z" on the side fender red to match the calipers?

Yeah, the entire back is solid 3M tape (you won't cut this one off with nylon line). When it touched, it stuck good. If I could remove it without destroying it or scuffing the auto finish I would fix that. Suggestions?

I believe you need to trim some notches off on the bumper with a razor blade to make them fit. They will be visible once the OEM logos come off. The rear one may need some extra 3M tape to fit unless the sizes are properly matched (which they probably won't be..).

Anyway, they are nice and once you get them on right you should be happy with them. Good luck!

The first picture is the new rear emblem, there is no writing under the Z.

The second picture is the new front emblem, same.

The third picture is the side marker, you can see the writing under the Z.

The fourth picture is the side marker with a wonderful view of my missing thumb. (Thanks Mr. Ho Chi Minh)

Older/other Z side markers don't have that much writing on them.

No. I don't make Taiwanese shít.
I used to (and I guess I still can) make the same emblem by hacking up a side marker.
I bought a bunch of blanks a dealershit had. They made 350 emblems, so I could only make front badges for the 370Z because the rears are different

So are these Z's not supposed to come on 2013 and up already? I ask cause I'm a new owner of a 2013 touring sport with 2000 miles on it and it already has these Z's on front and Back. I'd honestly never noticed them till I actually bought my car a few weeks ago cause I'm used to seeing the Nissan badges instead of the Zs I started wondering if they were lights for a second lol But yea are they standard on all 370s 2013+ now? Wanna know if they are original or aftermarket.

I believe they would be aftermarket. The original front & back have "NISSAN" on them.

I got a warm enough day to install them. Here's a picture.

I thought it might have overdone the "Z's" on the back so I've removed the Z from the 370Z. Do you think I should put that Z back or not?
gpm

i would put it back. :)

Be careful with popular emblems. I just noticed this morning the red S from my Acura TL is missing. Apparently someone thought the red S is going to give their car 20+ ponies and felt it was worth it over my agonizing loss of the red S. I just hope they don't start jacking Nissan emblem or the letter O when type O becomes the next hot thing.
