Unfortunately a legal "sale" of anything does not require money to be exchanged. For example if I gave someone a controlled substance I could be convicted of a drug sale even if I don't receive money.

The law was written that way specifically to prevent people from using that type of loophole.

Well, there has to be at least one Lawyer on the forum! Chime in! Or maybe a dealer has a connection with Nissan that could get us a letter of approval for the forum to sell these exclusively to forum members/Z enthusiasts...

yah, actually it's a patent issue. their logos are their property so they want to get reimbursed for watever you sell with their property on it.

Not a lawyer but I did have to study consumer law. Definitely illegal. :)

Damn your free cheese....

how about we just scratch the Z logo all together and do a poll for something else????

pssshhttt what else would you put on it?

OOO make a N and if I turn it sideways that's my business...

LOL that's a great idea!! :icon18:

lol make a N and have be able to turn to read Z. If nissan comes to you just be like "its a N"

LOL

Not if it wasn't the same Z, correct? i.e. if the Z looked different.

Sold, order me up two sets for two carz.

this sux....i truly pray that we can get these puppies without any legal crap from the big cheese f*cktards. you guys more than deserve to make a profit on all this hard work. I will support in any way i can.

It looks as good as I had hoped! Thanks for your hard work

LOL... the OP must be groaning over the response to his work here! A slave to the milling machine for the next year!! lol

And cook me my dinner b-tch lol!

Honestly, if you started bankrolling off of this, they would probably just issue a "cease and desist" order rather than take any serious legal action.

You can make a few for us before that happens -- we'll keep it a secret :D

The Z doesn't look like an exact copy of the Z on our cars. Or is it just me?

Thanks everybody for the compliments. I'm glad you guys like the prototype. But We're still a long ways away from actually putting these up for sale. I mean it's not even done yet, I have to talk to Scruff about modifying the design a bit. I haven't decided how or if I will paint/plate/powdercoat them. There's all the legal stuff. And I need to cut the cycle time down big time. I dont think any of you would be willing to pay what that prototype badge actually "cost" to make. Please be patient, this is a new venture for me and I'm doing the best I can.

We can wait :)

is it done yet?.... How 'bout now?....

This is one of the few threads that people are truely excited about. We all know you guys are doing a great job. Using this thread for your communication is great cause we can all follow along. Keep it up and I'll keep reading about your progress.

Oh and while your at it what about a "decepticon" , "cobra" form GIJoe, or "reble alliance" from star wars hamburger embellums. :rolleyes:

Emblem worth dying for...
 

Here's an emblem worth dying for....and we won't be in trouble for making it....

thats adorable. the women will love it.

u know i thought about your idea, except how about making a Autobot Engine Cover, not just an emblem but a whole engine cover....Wouldn't that be tight? forgive me, i just finished watching the Transformers Movie 1 & 2 again back to back....

oh wait, that won't work, cuz now I'll have Hasbro on my back.

Well since megatron is a 370z I think decepticon would be more appropriate

I should just do one for each when i'm bored. =P In the meantime, to keep the excitement up, i'll try to continue to think of things to design. Hopefully we can make it worthwhile to production.

Sold. Send.

:yum:

AK should cut a deal on these and sell them with memberships

What material are you using? An aluminum we can anodize I hope :yum:

yes, 6061 aluminum

black anodize = drool

So when are you going to become a seller / sponsor :)

And yes for blk anodized!
