I don't think so. I think it looks pretty good. Now if you start sticking giant stickers that say Z all over the car, that would be ricey.

yeah, I don't think it looks bad....it really resembles the stock look as far as the color and size of it so I say go for it.

Sorry guys, no offense to anyone but I have to differ.

IMHO, you can tell a mile away this was the Nissan Logo, changing it to that one just looks odd.

My 2 cents.

I'm not excited about it but it's not a bad thing to put on your car.

Different. It's up to you to like it or not. It is NOT ricey IMO. If you like it get it....it looks......clean.

I dont see how putting a Z emblem on a Z can ever be rice.

Too much bling? That's another story...

It wouldn't be my first choice to put on my car, but I don't think it looks as bad as a Type-R badge.

I think it looks better than the chrome Nissan emblem on the front bumper. I plan on getting the same one, but in the matte finish to match my grille and door handles. If anyone has the matte finish on a PPW Z Please post a pic or PM me a pic, thank You.
