You bet. I will have the emblems long before the Z, but I'll take pics of the emblems when they arrive. I'll take pics as soon as I have them installed as well.

I think it would be neat having them match the door handles and the "370z" emblem.

I like it!

I might know of a Z locally that you can mock them up on ;)

I'd rather have polished stainless than nickle. For the guys that wanted the brushed nickle look it would be easy enought to make the polished stainless brushed....

Here is the new Carbon Fiber Z emblems.

kdo2milger 10-10-2009 05:50 PM

that looks like it has potential...cant wait to see it mounted...:tup:

hey arent those cf Z emblems like 80$ each though. Plus Im not sure about the cf if i dont have any other cf stuff on the car. What about a black chrome emblem in either Z or nissan. Would it be possible to have the current emblems rechromed black chrome I wonder?

Yes, $79 from the Z source. They are a perfect match for the side blinkers. In fact I think they are Nissan side blinkers set into CF pieces.

Well I don't have my Z yet, but yes it looks exactly like an OEM blinker. It's shiny plastic with the Z and surrounding ring in a brushed aluminum look. I really like it. I just need a car to put it on :excited:.

FricFrac 10-12-2009 12:08 AM

Here is the link to the side flasher that we think is used for the logo.... WAY cheaper than the finished product.....

thats funny...i thought the same thing..i looked up the side marker a few days ago...and i was looking for the carbon fiber insert seperately...it seemed like the z store sold them seperately when they first came out with them...i could have swore i saw them sold seperately somewhere...

Any body shop can shave those emblems for around $600. All they need is a can of bondo and some spray paint. Just do the whole car flat black, get some ryms, and a sweet adjustable rear wing. I own a nissan, not a WTF was that?

that was directed at the shaving all the badges off a 370z crowd. Also there was some sarcasim and rice joking going on as well. If you don't find it funny skip it. I would consider the carbon datsun z style badge if they came out with like a new G-nose concept front end kit.

texmedic 10-13-2009 05:59 AM

Look I like a z badge as much as the next guy, but the real question concerning me in regards to any hood mod is when is Zeto gonna let me know how this hood vent mod happens. Whens that DIY a comin? WHEN? PS sorry I hijacked the thread..... its very late or early, you know! Bye....:wtf2:

NXTAZEE 10-13-2009 11:21 AM

The first thing I'm going to do when I get the car is de-badge it. I don't like any badging or emblems on a car. A car looks smoother and better some how without the all that stuff on it, plus you can properly polish the paint as well. Trying to polish out marring from black paint with all that badging is impossible, you just can't get that close or in between. I also can't recall receiving payment from Nissan for the advertising ;). Anyway, I can't remove the front and rear emblems as they are inset, and I don't want any body work performed, so I think these are a good alternative.

Just the readily available 350 matte look emblems. I think it's an OEM 350 emblem in the center..

those arent bad...where did you get them...

NXTAZEE 10-13-2009 12:27 PM

The 370 has slightly different sized or shaped emblems from front to back for proper fit. Are those the same?

These are the same size and fit the front recess. They do not fit the rear, but with careful application will fit OVER the recess. This is a temp solution until properly sized rears are available, but actually it looks just fine in person..

NXTAZEE 10-13-2009 02:04 PM

I really don't like emblems that are not recessed, as they are a major problem for paint care.

The CF ones from MSA that NXTAZEE has are the correct size for the rear.

Yeah, but they are CF.....I'll wait for something different... (the poll above says Bzzzzztt on CF)

to each their own I guess, but they do match the side makers which I like. The 350's don't match.
