nissan emblem took paint off!!

Another okie Z owner.

At least I'll be able to tell the difference between mine and yours

$200-$400 depending on the shop.

Personally, dealer emblems, unless guady, don't bother me. I didn't check to see what I've got on mine...lol

It does not look like heat damage to me, but rather as if a tool, blade, or scraper penetrated the paint while lifting off the the dealer's sticker.

I believe you've had all the "advice" you can stand presently; I'd just like to say "Sorry for your loss, and good luck with the repair arrangements."

cover it with a fairlady emblem! haha

bobby8621 · 06-17-2009, 06:46 PM

got a quote... $330. thats with me taking off the other badge and bringing the bumper to them. i might just shift the 370z emblem to the other side to cover up the damage. or get a fairladyz emblem. sigh...

Zcott · 06-17-2009, 08:35 PM

Sorry it isn't going to be a free fix!

same here....i wanted no stickers on the G and no front plate holes in the bumper.....they said they wouldnt dare....lol

That's word for word the experience I had with my Z!

cwj370 · 06-17-2009, 08:45 PM

I would pay the 330.00 in a heartbeat! Peace of mind is worth it. I was prepared to pay that for my one little tiny scratch!

Gather some other bids too. Also, the metallic paint "flop" can be tricky without the rest of the car present, and just the bumper fascia.

Yeahhhhh.....thats what happens when you dont warm that pesky glue up enough and just rip the emblem off. Sorry, dude. Gotta be careful.

Best bet would've been to have the dealer remove it before the purchase. That kills me they put a sticker on to begin with.

OldGuy · 12-24-2009, 08:52 AM

Dealer took mine off for free. You should have made its removal a condition for closing. Get your beautiful car professionally repaired and enjoy. Next time you'll know.

Horseface · 12-24-2009, 10:18 AM

Damn, that sucks. Hope you can fix it. I'm so glad we don't have to deal with those horrible dealer stickers here in Cali.

way to dig up a dead thread, guys.

and horse, some dealerships still put stickers out here in CA
