There are no holes in the body work. They're just held on with double sides 3M tape. There are some alignment pins sticking out of the body but they do not have to be cut off with these emblems. I had a tough time with the floss breaking & tried a suggestion from other forum members to use nylon fishing line. I believe that worked better. Getting the old residue off was a chore. Warming with a hair dryer was a definite help.

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?

Nope. Remove the rest (370) and go for a cleaner look...

Or put the FairladyZ emblem on and watch other people pull up behind you and mouth the words "What's a FairladyZ?" If I had a nickel for every time I saw that........ I'd probably have a couple of bucks...
