If you don't want the backing that comes with the EVO-R emblem, just don't order it. Why pay extra for something you do not want.

Backing or no backing plate they r same price
If it come with two separate piece then I can just color match on my own

So if I get one with carbon fiber backing disc like this one then will I be able to separate it from actual z logo part??

I went with the black Evo-R badges. You need the backing.

Mine came with the carbon fiber and looked cheap to me. I copied someone else's idea and created my own backing (cut from a plastic dealer plate) and painted it body color.

I did a set for JARBLUE and Dreamer too.

Well, I didn't get a call from the dealership regarding my touch up paint Friday but decided to work on the emblems. I put on two coats and decided to peel it off and start over. Here are the emblems ith two coats of gunmetal. I figure another coat or two and then a few coats of gloss. Hopefully, it will look good lol.

Almost forgot the picture:

If this turns out well I may do the door handles as well!

Just out of curiosity, since I don't have a backing plate, does the backing plate cover the entire back or does it just cover the opening? Thanks for your help! :tup:

It has to fit into the back of the emblem to sit flush.
