I've never been a fan of the Nissan hamburger. Having just a nice Z on each end would be enough for me. No other badges!

And the door handles suck. My wife complains that they are nail-breakers (especially when you switch hands on the offside door). I'd prefer a "stealth" door opening solution, body color only if it can be scratch-proof, otherwise brushed nickel.


well we come back to the fact that the body has depressions where the emblems lay. The hamburger will be gone, only the exterior circle and nubs on either side. I'll do up a drawing here shortly.

To answer the other, We can do about anything, but don't deal with wood. Most any metal, or plastic.

Keep in mind there are nubs under the emblem...

Yup he's gonna have to go aftermarket n replace the whole panel for a flush look.

I would love to purchase a burshed nickel or chrome "Z" to replace the Nissan emblem! I had and "S" on my S2000 and loved it.

Just ordered the Carbon Fiber front and back emblems today from the z source. As soon as my Z arrives I will put them on.

Yeah sorry guys. Haven't had much time to give to this project. I'll get that drawing and we can take a census on what adjustments should be made.

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.

What is the general consensus on having them verses the chrome?

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....
