badges? we dont need no stinkin badges
I was gonna wash the Z tomorrow on my day off and while i was out there i was thinking about debagding her. I mean everyone knows its a Z so i dont think i need em on there. Might make it look a little cleaner cosmetically as well. Any thoughts?

I would leave the Z on the side fenders, but the 350Z emblem should definitely go...I WAS thinking of removing the Nissan symbol in the back, but decided to wait until something cool comes along that I could put there...Here is a pic of my rear

looks good. Mine is silverstone as well. I think i'll do them all except the fender badges. Still kinda thinking about those too. I wish i could get the front badge off but its recessed in the bumper.

Did you smoke your brake lights? They look darker.

if its really hot outside (like it will be tomorrow because im in Texas) you might not even need the hairdryer. But if you do use it you have to be careful not to get it too hot. Dont wanna damage the paint or anything.
there might be other debadging techniques, this is just what i know about.
its also good to clean and wax the spot where the badge was.

www.bluebatmobile.com is where I got the Vinyl overlays, as far as removing the 350Z emblem, I just pulled the little ***** off, and I used my finger to rub the sticky **** off, paint is perfectly fine. Floss kept breaking on me, so I used my fingers....lol

That is nice. I hadn't seen any close ups of the Nissan badge removed from the back, looks really good.
I actually have begun to really like the Nissan hamburger badges so while I did remove the 350Z and dealer stickers I'm going to leave the Nissan badges.

Ill have to do this myself, all the writing and stick on emblems merely detract from the lines of the car. Someone should make a Z piece or some sort of coverup for the nissan badges on front and back.
Looks like the black z on the side will leave a big divot if you take it out. If anyone has any suggestions for coverups id really like to take those off.
