Exclamation Installation for the "Z / Fairlady Z" rear emblems and the Nismo front chin spoiler

Just got these emblems in today. Since they didn't have any installation instructions, I was wondering those of you who have installed these on their cars whats the easiest way of putting these on??

I will be installing the Nismo front spoiler this weekend. Any tips from those of you who have already installed it on their cars.......don't want to mess the front bumper since it does require drilling holes.

Also, on a side note, what do you guys use to clean the inside of the Z (dash etc )? Anything you can buy from autozone?

I can only help you out on the emblem aspect cuz I dont have a nismo lip.

First, heat up the emblem with a hair dryer...to soften the glue on the back.
Take a piece of dental floss and go behind the "350Z" emblem and cut it off.
By this time, you will see the "350Z" shaped glue still on your hatch.
Spray some WD-40 on and around the glue, let it sit for approx. 5 minutes.
rub off the glue with a cotton towel to prevent scratches
wash the area with the WD-40 so it is clean and not oily.
Rip off the packaging and the bottom sticker off the "fairlady Z" emblem
Align the blue packaging of the "fairlady Z" to the left bottom corner of your hatch.
Stick on and apply some force with the palm of your hand to make it stick.
Rip off the rest of the packaging of the emblem including the blue foam.
Take a picture of your car and post it on the forum.

hope this helps.

Roark's dyi is all you need. Like he said, if not careful you will drill into the washer bottle. The drill bit goes through the bumper like it's butter. I did not take bumper off but did place an old license plate between the washer bottle and the bumper as a precaution. The important thing is to get templates lined up properly then take a deep breath and drill holes in your bumper. Don't forget to borrow or buy a rivet gun. By the way, the fitment is 100%.
