I'm going to do mine in flat black. My doorhandles won't be far behind.

Somehow this doesn't surprise me. ;)

Thanks Steve,
Maybe I will get them painted black then.
I just like the clean look. I have always debadged all of my cars, although I did wind up rebadging the vette as the front looked to big and plain without the crossed flags.

Will definitely need a nice DIY or plenty of pictures for this.
Mike is right, if you take the badges off it gives it a clean look but can also really open up and make it look big. There was a picture of a 370Z (red) with the 370z removed and it just looked to open, but he was putting the Fairlady Z badge on so it was temporary.

i just like the clean look you get afterwords. i hate chrome so everything on my car that was chrome i painted it black. the only thing thats left are my headlights and i havent decided what to do with them.

Some people (me included) don't like the Nissan 'burger' logo - partly because of its ugly looks and partly because, in general, the brand name 'Nissan' can have negative associations for people with sports cars - they are looked down on by some.

On the other hand, a nice big 'Z' in the middle of your car, front and rear, has an element of kudos - the Z cars are well respected, so promote the Z and hide the Nissan! I know I'm not alone in this thought. Re-badging is one of the first things I've done to both of my Z's. I also like the idea of a 'clean look - but I can't be bothered with all that time and effort in achieving it.

If you can't find a Z badge yet, the idea of sanding and painting the 'burger' is the best one - You don't need to de-chrome it cos it ain't chrome.

It looks like there are badges available for the front but none for the rear - is anyone coming out with a Z for the rear?

thezstore said their first batch was defective, i'm guessing you bought one form the first production batch

The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts: Carbon Fiber Front Emblem, 2009 370Z

Curious to see what the black ones are like - they are quite expensive there though and it looks like there is still no rear emblem and thats the first one I want to replace....

defective in the rear yes but its still a very ugly thing to do to your car. i rather have a blacked out nissan sign then to take the side marker of the car and glue it on a piece of carbon fiber and use it as a emblem.

before you guys waste 80 bucks make sure its returnable or at least see it in person UNDER THE SUN AND ON YOUR CAR

I came so close to buying these just now, then I saw this thread. Whew, good find. +1

Some on else on here already removed and painted theirs on here. They end up pretty nice. I forgot who.

If I had already bought them, that would be a good idea. I don't think I'd buy them just to paint them though, I'd rather wait for someone to come out with something good :D

Any update on the Z emblems?

for black Z emblems, you can also pray the emblem too :) GL
