Do mean a thin sheet? If so it will still easily deform.

The back needs to be hard plastic...

Yeah, it's literally vinyl cut straight from a roll. Peel the paper back and stick. At least this was the case with mine

What did you use for the backplate? I was too impatient and just painted the CF and it doesn't look so good...

Genius boost, sheer genius! You've inspired me.

To indulge my total OCD instincts, I started thinking about how to make this even better, and this is what I came up with:

I saved the plastic dealer plate that came with my car, and will use that material for my backing plate. I'll then paint it Gun Metallic to match the car. As the ultimate bit of anal over-obsession, I'll cover the backing plate with a piece of Invisishield (clear bra) to protect the paint from chips.

Supplies:

1 - dealer plastic plate = free from dealer

2 - aerosol touch-up paint = automotivetouchup.com

3 - some clear bra = invisiblemask.com

There's even a 10% code off the price of the film "10OFF"

I'll let you guys know how it turns out in a few weeks when I get around to doing this little project.

so i got my emblems today with no backing... i love the quality

serious perfect in everyway... i threw em my z.... the front knocked me off my socks... totally a perfect touch.... top notch... sorry i didnt take a pic...

then i threw on the back z... and it was ok... it didnt do much for me... i guess its the way the amuse bumper is... it doesnt "flow" as i imagined it to be.... im thinking of getting a fairladyz badge and a small nismo emblem just to fill in the emptyness....

There was one thing however i am going to change... since the emblems are meant to go on the factory bumpers with the factory recessed hamburger area the shape really doesnt make it flow for me.... in fact.... i dropped my emblems off today LOL to the body shop they will shave the hamburger shape and make it a full circle

i should have the emblems back by next week... going with a satin finish

cooltoy · 10-30-2012, 10:05 AM

Looks great.

Did you try to see what it would look like under the wing above the bumper? Do they sit flat on the inside were the back-plate would be, or is there space?

Hey! How come I didn't get a sticker?
