Count me in for the emblems (front and rear) - I like the new Z format over the 350Z one - if you want to go old school and maybe cover up the nubs underneath maybe something like this from the old Z's?



Maybe you could make the squiggly in the center more horizontal and slighly larger to cover things up. Just an idea.

PLEASE NO!!!

The emblem needs to match the (Z) that is already on the car. Not squiggly or shaped differently!

NEW Z LOGO ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It should match this as best as the machining process will allow.

You could leave the (Z) large and just add this behind it to cover the stock holes and dimples. I don't know if you you can do it at different depths? You know, have the (Z) stick out the most, then the frame and center bar would be underneath it giving it depth and contrast.

true, I can always do that but the "Z" may not stand out as much...i'll do as much options as possible....thanks for all the ideas guys!

so far I have the Z emblem drew just like the

except it's the new Z emblem.

But I am trying to work out a design that will cover all the nubs....the hardest part is I don't really have the dimension for the nubs unless I take my own emblem off - which I kinda wanna NOT do.

Will anyone here be nice enough to provide the dimensions for me? (see following picture)

I would like to know the dimension for the following nubs....



Unless of course, I can always fill out the whole inside Oval with a thinkness...which i kinda don't wanna do....at the same time, I kind of don't want to distort the "Z" logo to fit over the nubs

One more thought, what about doing it as one piece? Where it would be cut out it can just be recessed. Then it could be painted black to contrast it or people could have it color matched. Some people may even leave it all machined as one color? It gives more options anyways.
