OK does anyone have any idea what a dealership would charge to take the emblem off and put the new one on?

Or is it better I go to an aftermarket place...

I am in Toronto Canada if anyone wants to recommend a shop.

I dont want to spend an arm and leg for this.

Get the one on the 2nd link, it's original product from Nissan, $10 difference and the quality is more than 10X better.

The first one, regardless it's for 350 or 370, is a

, chrome finish VS matt-finish(genuine), not to mention the cheapy-unknown-quality chrome finish might fade after sometimes...

Use a hair-dryer to heat/warm the emblem and use dental floss to cut through the double-side tape, remove the residual tape from the panel is a bit tricky and tough on your thumb but it's ok...

I just did mine couple weeks ago... and I am from Toronto too!!

@alcheng: Where did you get the emblem from? The 2nd link unfortunately does not ship to Toronto... they are trying to see if they can get it. Hopefully it wont cost more than $10 to ship... that way I am paying $30 total.

Also - lol im NOT a car guy... I can fix your computer .... but scared to touch anything on the car... I dont trust my own hands... especially on expensive equipment... so Id rather just pay someone to do it! LOL do you wanna do it for me?

The only thing I did on my car... which turned out pretty sick... is I used black tape and made a Z stencil on my rear fog light. That way at night when I turn my fog light on ... u see a 'Z' opposed to a big red square.

I can post a picture if anyone is interested.

I got mine from eBay too, they ship to Canada, cost about $20 something like that for S&H thus total about $40ish.
