My New Emblems

So what did Nissan do to cause so much orange peel in the body? Makes me wonder if tinted door handles would look better than completely black.

ive been thinking that too and am gonna prolly get my original door handles done like the emblems.

The paint on my car is actually in really good condition. Anything you notice is because it wasnt washed for like 2 weeks and had just been driving back home when i took the pics.

Alright Guys, sorry it took me a bit. Been a bit busier the last few weeks.

We'd be looking at around 60-65$ per emblem.

So what is avail is:

Nissan Front Burger Emblem
Nissan Rear burger Emblem
Nissan Fairlady Z emblem

We can go a shade or 2 darker/lighter.

I havnt checked into the NISMO or the 370Z yet but will do so on Monday.

All the emblems are NEW OEM emblems so they will have the OEM 3M tape.

Best ways are leave it out in the hot sun for a few hours (or use a heat gun on somewhat low heat) Then use a very thing nylon stype line (alot of people use fishing line) and slowly to back and forth behind the emblem (like flossing) Eventually when it is off, you will need to clear the area of any remaining goo (use whatever product you normally use, everyone recommends different ones)

But yes they are 3m double sided taped. No screws.

to Bring this back up. If anyone is interested, I have a set of emblems already done just like in the images. Also have side markers and can get door handles done to match.
