looks good !! but i'd remove the Z completely

the black paint on the Z's have lots of sparkles.....lol..the G has nothing...just black


the befores, you can see the word Nissan b/c it's black on chrome.....would it be a radical idea if you did it inverted, blacked out emblem with white paint to spell out Nissan...??

Oh, I just noticed that in the before shots there is one with one headlight tinted and one not. Which do you like best?

it's hard to tell, i missed it until you said it.


needs a darker tint, with projector cut outs

350Z Front Emblem - "Z" logo Black Pearl :: CourtesyParts
This is the one that I wanted, was just waiting on it to be done with the 370's Z
in place of the 350's. After seeing whats under the badges, I don't think it will work.

I'll probably have to go with one like this, just wish they would make it with the new Z.

the 1st link is nice, but like you said...it probably wont work out well....the 2nd link, not digging it..lol


i'd keep the ones you have and remove the letter Z on the rear.......it would be interesting to see blacked out emblems like urs with the word Nissan in white or silver.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but i have One question. Seems like the emblem is extremely hard to remove since the bumper caves in on the edges of the emblem. Where did you pry first on the emblem? what did you use and how did you do it? I wanna try this but it seems like even if you use fishing lines you will scratch paint because the part that you're prying is lower than the rest of the bumper (lower as in caved in), scratching the paint. Can you provide some info on this? Thanks man i appreciate your help.

I just started with the fishing line on one side. Just get it under the edge and hold the line up, not out, up and away from the car. Then just start with a sawing motion keeping the line up and away from the car the whole time. It also helps if it is heated up, we live in Tn. so I just would let mine sit out in the hot sun for a while. But you could use a blow dryer, just don't burn the paint. The other day one of my coworkers wanted me to help her remove some emblems from her truck, when we when out to do it, the truck was so hot you could have fried an egg on it. I ran the line under the emblem an it sliced right through the glue like it was butter! Easiest way to do it!

Awesome. Thanks dude.

I think you'll damage the plastic with heat before the paint is affected..... a hair dryer is pretty safe - just touch it every now and then to see what the temp is at. If you get a blister its too hot ;)
