To Debadge Or Not To Debadge?
 

So I was thinking about removing the 370Z badge from the back of my 2009 Pearl White Touring/Sport.

Anyone here have a white one with the 370Z badge removed? I'd like to see pics to help me decide!

... Mushroom! Mushroom! ...

I debadged mine, just personal preference.

I agree Here! Its a personal preference!

ahhh, a snake!!!!!! :roflpuke2:

Oh noes! :ughdance:

i leave my on so i can point to it n say its a 370 not a 350!..haha

Exactly, i dont want anyone, whoever they are, to confuse my car with a 350, the 370 stays.

It is personal preference. I like it on the car. May eventually swap for a Fairlady badge, but I doubt it. My Mazda6 has an Atenza badge on it. Yes, I'm a jerk. lol

I think debadging is rice, by definition. Sorry; just my opinion. If it's not performance-related, I just dont give a s***.

:roflpuke2: ah the good ol days

AMEN! I'm tired of ppl saying I drive a 350. :shakes head:

haha...i had one idiot say nice body kit on the 350:ugh2:

I voted for de-badge. Makes waxing easier.

Yeah people call mine a 350 all the time, drives me crazy. I never thought about removing the "370z", but I did consider the Nissan symbols, is that stupid? Most people still ask what kind of car car it is anyway, without even looking at emblems. I was in Stillwater this weekend for my sister's graduation and this guy with an '07 BMW Z was talking about my car like crazy. It seemed really funny to me, because I guess I wouldn't expect someone with a newer BMW z to think my car was better.

I've had people make comments that having "fairlady" on the back would automatically make people think its a chick driving the car and that it adds femininity, while in japan its normal, the average every day joe here in the states have zero clue of its history.

I'm not a big fan of alot of plastic badging on cars, I've been thinking about taking off the nismo and the 370z off mine.

Debadged mine first week into ownership. That was also back in Jan 2009 when most of the general population weren't even aware of the 370Z's existence. :<>

Leaving the badge on so people "know what I'm driving" seems like a silly reason to keep it on. I have a Nismo though, which is a lot harder to confuse with a 350z (but still happens).

I think the debadged looks great. Personally, I rebadged to "FairladyZ" and it sparks up quite a lot of positive conversation.

I removed mine. I hate how my detailing cloths get caught up in them every time.

when i see a car without badges, makes me think that the car has been in a crash...

<-- Debadged.

Leave the 370 and replace the the ugly Nissan badging with a chromed black Z, that's what I'd like to do.

I wish I could find someone who made a good replacement.

I had the same idea, I've only seen those chromed black circle emblems also. I think it would look really clean, esp because I have magentic Black! :tup:

Still trying to decide if I want to go through with it....

Agreed.

:iagree: all my cars since i was 17 have been debadged

need a few more warm days to get it all off!!

lol when i took my parents cars to pick stuff up...(nothing fits in our cars!!)after i wash them to bring them back i debaged them lol

Triple post and a thread necro. Four points for you, sir.

lol had so much to say! could not hold it in...did try to!

debadge 370z rebadge fairladyZ

while we're on the topic, I called a decent body shop today about getting JUST my rear emblem removed and the body filled, and i was quoted at $700, called a second guy...$900....wtf.

It's a PITA to fill in the recess and get the paint to match.

i voted Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger...

but i'm biased by laziness... got rear-ended last year and my 370z badge came in a week after i picked it up n got lazy...never put it on.
