You must have went to the same shop I did , yes they looked really bad, I had cash in my pocket and ready to buy. Yep, just a side marker glued onto a piece of poorly molded carbon fiber. I posted in the other thread that SoCal started.

i went to this one. Great guys and the service was good too but the emblem is just crap so i ended up with the black license plate holder with the 370z on it.

i would have to sand off the chrome right?

I too am anxious to see whether this works on our emblems. A custom plater can remove the chrome, but it will cost you.
