Aren't the front and rear emblems the same size? I would love to replace both Nissan badges on my ride with these...

Here's a shot of the 370 rear emblem laid over thebackside of the larger "Z" front one. (The red is the 3M sticky tape) You can see the front is fractionally larger. I'm thinking the larger will rest flush on the bumper, rather than being recessed like stock. I'm about to try this when my car comes back from the body shop with a new rear bumper (minus the emblem mounted). If it's not quite big enough to stick around the edges, I've already cut a 1/8" filler piece to mount in the recess and it will stick to that. I'll do an update on this when the car is back.





Here's the "Z" on the front for reference:

Fric did you replace the hamburger in the back as well? That is what I am interested in seeing. If not, do you know where I can get a Rear Emblem that fits accordingly?

Its ModShack's uh... mod I haven't done mine yet as I'm wanting to get one that fits the "socket". I'm not clear how ModShack's looks - need a side profile to see how it sticks out or something or if it just fits.

I haven't seen a Z logo that I really like yet. I'd rather have the one ModShack has without the black background and a bigger "Z" even if it goes into the ring portion...

Not a perfect fit, but doesn't look too bad. You need to grind the alignment studs down. I'm going to consider this temporary until some correctly sized emblems are available..

I removed the 370z emblems only to find 2 holes underneath. The factory didn't do a good job putting them on. Next is the removal of the Nissan emblems. Nissan doesn't pay me to advertise for them.

"Who's the fella that owns this $h*t hole"
----William Munny
I agree completely... I shaved my Tit Silver 350ZR of all factory emblems... Reused the "Z" as a 3D overlay on the back glass after tinting nearly black... and installed a Z shield on black field for the front emblem (later stripped off the black background for a brushed look) People would ask "Who makes that?" when stopped at a light. Only reply that made sense - Martians.... I know we are talking about 370s here... So don't flame... I recently sold the ZR in lieu of a 370.. I mainly just wanted to agree with the comment regarding the distaste for free advertising.. That and the OPs Will Munny quote from the Unforgiven...

How can you forgive a fella who is willing to burn your GD house down out of revenge.

Photo doesn't do the brushed look justice... Trust me it looks better close up and in person. Especially after the grill was painted gloss black.. The whole car was an experiment in monochromatic.
