So i received my emblems today but this is not going to be as easy as removing my Nissan emblem and replacing it with the EVO-R version like i thought. There are 4 dimples that stick out normally to help place the normal Nissan emblem to keep it in place, however the EVO-r version doesn't accommodate for this and don't see any other way besides knocking them down and then attaching...unless im completely missing how to do this...

Got mine in today and since it was raining, decided to go ahead and put them on...here is the finished look...pretty happy with the way they turned out.

Some crappy phone pics...:)

Boost_lee 10-13-2012 07:53 PM

question-if you opt for a backplate, is it removable from the Z emblem?

If you mean that they are two separate pieces, then yes.

Boost_lee 10-13-2012 09:15 PM

Exactly, thanks

How did you go about taking the old emblems off? I know dental floss is a good method, but being that the emblems are indented, I've found it hard to get a good angle to saw under the emblems.

EVOR 10-14-2012 07:26 AM

dental floss

EVOR 10-14-2012 07:29 AM

rear plates can be remove

Dental floss and a heat gun on low or hair dryer

dmhenderson 10-14-2012 10:38 AM

Mine still haven't updated since the 11th and I'm starting to get worried.

I used a heat gun and dental floss as well. I started at the left edge of the emblem and worked it up and down until i got about a 1/3 of the way through and then was able to pick it up and lift it by hand and the rest came apart easy.

Customs can take several days. They'll come. I order from around the world all the time and sometimes items clear customs the same day and sometimes it takes several.

dmhenderson 10-14-2012 10:51 AM

be VERY careful if you use a heat gun. Use short bursts and tape around the emblem. Try not to focus the heat on the lip of the indent surrounding the emblem or you'll fry your paint.

Mine came in over the weekend. They look great! :tup:

I'm leaving to go out of town for a few weeks, so it will be early-November before they get installed. Pictures to eventually follow.

pfdaxe 10-15-2012 06:09 PM

Mine arrived today........

Well, sort of. I wasn't home to "sign" for them, so now I have to go to the PO tomorrow to pick them up

:mad: :shakes head:

Jasonle 10-15-2012 06:56 PM

dmhenderson 10-15-2012 07:46 PM

Mine appears to be held up in customs as well...

pfdaxe 10-16-2012 09:03 PM

Installed mine tonight (Chrome /Black CF). Pretty straight forward. The old ones came off pretty easy. I trimmed the "nubs" with a utility knife:
