I was thinking the same thing about the sizing. Hopefully they will still look good though :tup:

those light up, right?

Jordo .. get some pics of them installed on the Z ... great work thus far! (FYI Im still interested in a set .. lol)

So you want a lighted up Z emblem on the front and back of your car as well as the sides rite? I mean cool concept but over kill if that's the plan...

Don't think they are supposed to light up... Just for looks to match the side markers...



Right Jordo?? :confused:

It's too late for me then!

I was going to reveal my ricetastic addition to the gang in OTNH after they were on the car, but yes this be it :D

Are you really doing all red inside? Now you need the sills too :icon17:

Thanks! I think they'll look really good once mounted. I'm probably just going to use 3m trim adhesive and glue those suckers on there. I'll probably never take them off so if a little gridning and glue has to happen it'll be fine.


Paul_S' do; mine won't. I just wanted them to be black on silver.

Thanks :tup:

Maybe what I'll do is offer to accept materials bought by indivudals and charge a fee to assemble it (there's a good bit of dremeling, hacksawing, glueing, and gentle adjusting that has to happen).

My only concern then is whether people will get persnickety over any minor flaws they find... (e.g., if there's a tiny bit of excess glue around the edge of the emblem, I don't want to have to deal with people that now want their money back).

Also, I either have to figure out a way to incorporate holes for the bumper nubs on the back of the emblem or people will have to be willing to grind them down so it lays flush... a lot of people won't want to deal with that.

I dunno, that said, gather up the materials and make me an offer I can't refuse and I'll probably do it :icon17:

Ask me again in a year. That's the kind of mod you can't exactly take off the car and considering that mine's leased, I wouldn't do it unless I'm absolutely certain that I'd buy out the car at the end of the lease. I really wanted to keep the mods to simple bolt-one, which is what I'm doing, but I hate hate hate the orange illumination.

I redid entire interior of my Celica redone to red and blue, so I know I'm capable of doing it. But for some reason, this car appears much more daunting than the Celica.

We can definitely work out that deal. Granted I have a dremel and a hacksaw .. I am just pressed for time .. I rarely make the meets anymore let alone have time to mod the Z lately. I am not that detailed oriented to be a perfectionist .. if anyone has seen my initial front badge replacement can attest to that .. I currently have some other 350z after market badge up front .. and you can see the divot in the bumper behind the badge as it does not completely cover it up .. so I probably already get dinged from the judges for that alone! LOL

Installed.

What I like -- I love the emblems. Not flawless, but I think a vast improvement over the Nissan badges. :tup: :tup: :tup:

What I don't like... I swear they are slightly crooked :icon14:

Not scuffing the paint slightly in getting off the factory emblems is almost impossible :icon14:

The rear one requires 2 or 3 layers of 3M tape on the bottom to lay flush with the trunk.

Front nubs were fine; rear nubs needed to be razor bladed off to fit.

All in all, I give myself a B+ to an A-

You may commence congratulating or mocking as you wish :tiphat:

Yeah, they do look slightly crooked but they are pretty sweet. Nice job.

Looks awesome!

Thanks :tup:

I think it's more noticeable in the pics than in real life... if it annoys me I can always pry off the center piece and adjust it.

I'll see how many people notice it and go -- "wow, that's crooked" :icon17:

Thats the first thing i thought. :icon23:

All bs aside... good job man. Looks great!

They do look good :)

They do need a little straightening as said. Any closeups?
