black nismo badge
 

I was wondering if anyone knew of a nismo badge that is same style as what comes on the 370z nismo but with black lettering and a red O

Get the regular badge and paint them...

ive been doing some digging and it looks like that is my only option

Really not hard to do, especially with the Duplicolor Metalcast paint.

Dupli-Color :: Metalcast

thats awesome i didnt even know about this stuff. any idea if it fades over time? im pretty inexperienced with painting things. also any tricks to getting the nismo lettering back on the car straight?

You can also plastic dip it...

ive read all about the plasti dip and liked the idea at first but i want something a little more permanent that doesnt look grainy or dull

You shouldn't have any fading concerns. If you mask properly, you wouldn't need to remove the badges. It's all about patience.

there's these:

I've plastidipped my badges and while its hard to tell from these images they don't look grainy.

I regularly clean my car with a foam cannon and two bucket method and have not had any problems with the durability of the plastidip.

Also, if you don't want flat black you can use the plastidip glossifier.
The whole process is super easy to do and unlike painting is completely removable if you ever decide that you want to change it.

Best,

:iagree:

Easy way to paint them on the car is doing a reverse plasti dip. By that I mean mask a square and spray the plasti dip on car and emblems. Then you just peel the dip off the emblems. Now your all masked off and ready for real paint. When done just peel off the remaining plasti dip.

Just ordered one of these -- should have it tomorrow. New 2014 Juke nismo Emblem on Rear Gate Hatch "nismo" w Red "O" | eBay

OEM Nismo Juke badge for 2014. The O is already red, and I'll try to paint the other letters black pearl.

Why did you buy the one for the Juke? Is it the same size as the one for the 370Z? These guys have the one for the 370Z. I actually bought it from them about a month ago for $37.00. This emblem is quite a bit smaller than the existing Nismo emblem on the car so I ended up electing to not put it on my car. Just seemed tiny to me and strange that it was smaller.

Doesn't the 2014 370Z Nismo use a red O?

Yes

Just mask properly. Plastidip. Then Paint your Black letters. Mask the black. Paint your red "O". Then clear everything. If you don't clear anything, you're better off just plastidipping everything and leaving it at that.

Yep! Just like the top one of the picture I posted.

Right, but wouldn't the 14 Nismo badge with the red O be the same size as the 09-13 badge?

Yeah. They're saying the juke one is smaller. I'm gonna get creative with the placement and see what I come up with.

Nope! The picture that I posted above is a comparison of the 09-13 370Z Nismo badge to the 2014 370Z Nismo badge with the red O. They aren't the same size for some reason. The 2014 badge is quite a bit smaller as you see in the pic by the measurement on the ruler.

I've seen both the Juke Nismo 2014 badge and the 370Z Nismo 2014 badge and they are quite a bit smaller than the previous 09-13 Nismo badge. I have no clue why and seems very strange to me. I'm interested in actually seeing a 2014 370Z Nismo in person to see how the smaller badge looks. When I saw how small it was in person and compared it to the one on my 2013 Nismo, I decided against putting it on the car.

Damn! I just bought the 2014 Nismo badge yesterday thinking it's the same size. That explains why it's only $37 while the '09-'13 Nismo badges go for $100.

i ended up pulling the badges off and just painting them. I used the duplicolor metalcast paint someone on this post recommended. they dont have a true black but its a "smoked" color and the red is a very deep red but i actually like the way they came out. did a couple of clear coats on them and plan to put them back on the car this evening when it cools off. ill try to post up some pics after

Interesting that the 14 is smaller...

Pics?!:tiphat:

just finished. too dark for pics but im off tomorrow so ill try to get some and post them up

so i ended up getting them all done and put on and wasnt happy with the color lol so im redoing them this weekend. when im happy with it ill make sure you guys see it

Yes please do!:tiphat:

Here's my black Nismo badge with a red O that I created this weekend. Came out pretty good I think.

Looks great! Unfortunately I think my car would just say NISM :p

Nice Job!! Looking Good!!:tup:

Plastidip?

Yes it is. Figured I would do that vs painting in case I didn't like it.
