PLEASE help me make my mind up

Everyone loves the car then when they see its a Nissan you can see the disappointment in their face! Its not considered a premium brand here even though the 370z and GTR are clearly fabulous cars. So I wanted to add a bit of mystique to it (and hide its a Nissan to the uninitiated!)

That carbon fibre version above looks good but as usual I can't seem to find it in the UK - where did you buy them please ?

F 'em. Then again, Nissan is not a premium brand to begin with so what the hell are they thinking.

Back on topic.......I still say murder out your Z and show them who's boss.

Black cars look better in the shade........lot's of them where you are from.

What I did with my Nissan emblems on the front and back was remove them, than I had a flat green 12 in stripe run the length of my white Z than I painted the emblems flat black and they look great...and that was a lot cheaper...

Cheers Hammond - the carbon backed one type arrived this morning and looks very good - someone did post a thread with steps to remove the Nissan badges but I can't find it - can anyone else retrieve it please ?

Any help much appreciated - will post up pics when done (unless I screw it up !!!)

I just ordered one also...thinking of WD40 around edges, let soak...another post said to use bondo spreader(?)or maybe nylon paint scraper that is small and flexible..

jchammond · 10-10-2015, 12:28 PM

I didn't use that tape they sent to bond my emblems; i used 3M Ultrablack silicone.
worked very well.
Don't get in a hurry removing;heat works well to soften up the factory glue.
once i got an edge up,,i gradually put a larger wedge beside it until it came off (different sized screwdrivers)
the reason i used the rtv silicone was to ensure no water would come in from behind emblem...note that these are fender emblem's that are bonded to carbon F.

jchammond · 10-10-2015, 12:31 PM

This is the emblem from the rear; they are attached well.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1444498336.986613.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1444498347.037453.jpg
