NavyBoy, are they curved like the OEM emblems to fit to the contour of the car? Do they cover the hole in the bumper and do they have the little holes on the back to match up to the little "nubs" on the bumpers?

Superman logo anyone? :icon17:

Would be interesting to see a black background with just the Z in the gray.

There is a backing plate to cover the hole. If you read the OP's post you will see that the plate comes in different options.

The nubs will have to be cut off.

Not for the ebay ones...That's what I bought.

Car is in the shop right now for wheel powder so I had them go ahead and seal the backs of those emblems as well just for my piece of mind.

Quick pics after the install.

you might want to consider remove the 370z emblem now. i covered up your 370z emblem with my finger and it looks much better with out it.

im having a hard time deciding between this big Z or the other ebay small z badge/emblem. i think the big Z looks good on the back but i think the big Z is too big for the front. i also would need the red backing plate to be persuaded to go for the big Z. would like to see some pics of the ebay small z emblem on the car.

Yep. Too many Zzzz on the back. That's why I removed mine. Let me know if you care to "donate" the "Z" part of your emblem as I need a couple for a project ;)

You can never have too many Zs

Very disappointed in my emblem... the "back plate" is paper... therefore the plate is crippling from the rain this whole week... I really like these emblems but the paper thing is not what i thought.. I thought they were going to be hard backs. I got the flat black with black backing :(

Confirmed by my body shop. The "carbon fiber backing" is a piece of tagboard with a carbon fiber-patterened sticker on it. Do not give these people your money.

The slightest bit of weather will instantly ruin these emblems! Even if you waterproof them, the sun will bleach out the "carbon fiber" very quickly.

Edit: I am REALLY pissed right now. This is a "sponsored vendor"????

Pretty upset as well. I didn't put mine on because they felt so flimsy. Glad I'm not alone...

Already filed a dispute. I wouldn't have paid $90 for this garbage.

Not going to be using the backing, so don't care.

Yeah you'll be fine if you buy the ones without backings.

Any pics of what they looked like Now

Sucks to hear the quality is not passing the mustard

Hopefully the Sponsor can chime in to respond to the apparent quality issues

Whaaaaaaaaat? Paper WTF?
Why isn't this at least plastic. The whole world is made of plastic. Surely you can take plastic and stick some plastic carbon fibre on it? :shakes head:

Yeah disappointing to say the very least. I'll just stop talking now before I start chewing the scenery.

Very disappointing :(its caving in... dents everywhere its like thin thin cardboard like

man i feel bad for you guys :(

Oh I'm on the damn warpath.

It's tagboard with a sticker on it. It's not "cardboard like". It IS cardboard.

:iagree:

Its been raining all week. I just took these pictures in my garage :(

You can see the water between the plastic cover and the cardboard backing. This is crap.

As I can see the frustration here.

I can only ask to try to keep a cool head and wait to see how things workout

I would wait for a response to remedy this issue before going on full blast.

Again sorry you guys have had to deal with this issue and I'm hopeful it will be corrected. :ugh2:

Hopefully hear soon.

Alright. Fair enough.

I got the silver backing and it seemed like actual weave. Now, I have never seen/felt real CF so I don't know. It is textured on both sides and you can see through some of the areas between the weaves. The back side was also silver so I don't know if it was just the black CF with issues or if mine is cardboard and I'm just a jack@ss.

Did you take the emblems apart? I'd be willing to wager it's not a "weave" on yours either if not.
The plastic overlay on top of the sticker gives a pretty convincing illusion of depth and would be totally fine if they were sealed properly.

Edit: Also, apologies for wigging out last night. Not constructive - just saw red because I felt like I had been ripped off.

I was so close to jumping on these as they looked great in the pictures. Glad I didn't now and was skeptical about the backing and was waiting for a full report. Sorry for the guys who were the guinea pig on this one. I hope it gets worked out and a solution is found for the issue.

I'm currently in Los Angeles getting ready for SEMA. All the carbon back plates are made with real carbon fiber hard pressed sheets. Black carbon are made with 3K cross weave carbon. Silver are made with plaine weave carbon. As for the flat black back plate problem I will have some made with acrylic hard back plate. Will have these done once I get back from SEMA in Las Vegas. I have not got a chance to reply here since I was on the plane for 13 hrs.

BTW on the black CF version. On the back of it had some 3M paper film on it. That is just a paper to cover the adhesive back of the carbon plate. That part might confuse people think it is made of some cardboard.

I took the CF off to paint. Like I said, I don't know what real CF is suppose to feel like but it seemed like it was weaved together. He's saying it's real...I don't know what else to believe. I'm gonna let it ride and install tomorrow. Pics to follow.

This may well be the case.

Evor .. So whats going to happen with mine? Cause i filed a dispute as well.

Are you going to send me NEW Flat black front and rear new emblems with the new back plates on them? If NOT.. Im keeping my dispute...

That sounds to me like he will fix the issue and we'll replace those sent out.

My silver one looks like it is not paper.

In a PM he told me that he will be replacing the flat black emblem backings for anyone who purchased them.
