Fairlady Z Badge

mspeasl

I just finished replacing the 370Z badge with the Fairlady Z. BTW I also had the Fairlady Badge on my old 03 350. I even had several dealers ask me what I had to do to get my Fairlady imported<G> P.S. If they were that dumb I just let them believe what they wanted to believe.

this is JMO but i voted no only because its not really a fairlady unless its a right hand drive z
its just not the same
im not saying its not nice

put it this way for those who are into domestics if i had a base mustang ,supercharge it, add all the fixin to make it look like a cobra, add a cobra badge...would you call it a cobra or a wannabe cobra
again this is JUST MY OPINION :P

but hey maybe ll change my mind later but for now i will proudly wear my 370z badge

I disagree. They are the same car with a different name. You could also go as far and say you cannot put any JDM parts on US cars because you are Japanese wanna-be....I don't think so.

Cars off the assembly line are all the same. You want to do something to it to make it different...personalize it.

I am not sure I would do it, but I like it!

I like it! Coming from the German car community and how we changed all the badges to Eurospec badges to pay homage to the cars' origins...I think it works!! I may do the same!

the badge is nice. good job with that. personally i like it.

i'm not sure it would translate well here in the States. for those that don't know about the Z heritage will probably laugh at the 'Fairlady' word because quite frankly for a sports car advertised with 332hp, it's kinda weak sounding compared to the american cars names like mustang and/or camero, etc.

You know, I think about that (already ordered the badge), but in the end it is my car and if you do not know about something do not laugh. I always wonder why I see cobra badges on certain cars which are not but now I know.

I do hope people who see it and wonder will ask and not just make fun of it.

I like it.. and will consider using the badge on my car as well.

You can't compare it to someone who had a base model Mustang and converted it to a Cobra then slapped the badge on because you can actually buy the Cobra.

To me, our 370z are the same thing as the FairladyZ.. there's no even more top end model that you can buy, I think by using the badge, you're just paying omage to it's Japanese name. It will also give your vehicle a small sleeper look leaving people wondering what you're driving

Edit: My girlfriend laughs at the fact i'd consider putting "Fairlady" on the back of my car.. she thinks of it in the girly-man sense lol.

Looks like the yeys have it!

Yeah, I think there is a little bit of a difference between calling a car something it's not, and calling the car something it's called somewhere else. Since they are the same car, no big deal in my opinion. Not like taking a z and throwing a gt-r badge on it

I wouldn't do it to my car just because people are retarded enough when they see me on the street. Louisville is big on american muscle and the corvette, so a lot of stupid kids driving their parents' cars asking dumb questions and revving their engines. I don't need another stupid one added to the long list, lol.

As for how it looks, I think it's fine.

bulaman

Now this I agree with....you put fairladyZ on a car and all the tards (who out number use btw) will be like wtf is that.

Owning a Z is awesome. A ton of random people come up to me and ask me about the car. Followed by I didn't know there was a 370, and how is is different. I usually start with how about opening your damn eyes! If it had fairladyZ on it you would have to explain it all day long! I guess you could just say google it mofo!

PS, just checked thezstore.com looking at the emblem. For the 350 fairlady badge, $27. For the 370 fairlady badge, $40.

Price gouging on a "new" product is going to happen - this could be happening on the dealer side rather than at the "Z store".. I may wait for prices to come down or hope they pop up on Ebay on the cheap.
