OK so im kind of on the fence on this one, so I wanted to get some opinions on rebadging my Z. I think it's a kind of cool idea, paying homeage to the Z's of old... lil bit of history sort of thing, ya know? I ordered the FairladyZ badge from Nissan parts, but then called and canceled my order. I just cant seem to lean one way or the other on this thing. Im thinking of reordering it, but I need some opinions here!

I'm thinking you should stop trying to make your car something it isn't. Don't do it. I'm not putting zip-ties on my G20 or Ron Fellow's stripes on my white Z06 or any other dumbassery. You shouldn't, either.

Just my .02

you compare zip ties with rebadging? "FAIL"
You plugged your other cars in a completely unrelated post, just so you could.."FAIL" ( so what if Im a little envious that you own a Z06 lol.. but it's still a GM) double FAIL
You knock what other people do to their car as "dumb assery" also FAIL...

We aren't talking about putting a type R badge on the back, or a BMW "M"..
The fact of the matter is, the car IS a FairladyZ... And I would be quick to think that it might have been people like you (not an insult) in America in the 60's and 70's that caused the Fairlady name NOT to follow the car here.. Think about it... With such names a the Cuda, Judge, Goat, Challenger, Road runner, and whatever other testosterone laden names were being badged onto cars back then; a car with the name "Fairlady" Or Sylvia, would have never sold... I was a bit on the fence, however I did re order the badge.. I personally dig it, and don't feel in any way that I'm making it into something its not. Im making it mine, and isnt that what its all about? I really do apreciate all of the feedback I received though. No hard feelings! Thanks!
