Default What do u guys think about the Nissan Badge

I think it looks pretty cool in the front of the car, but kinda sticks out on the rear. I migh remove the Nissan badge but keep the 350z on the rear?

What about you guys?

if i'm not mistaken, the nissan logo in the front is placed in sort of a little recess. so if you remove the nissan logo, it'll leave a hole in the shape of the nissan logo.

I'll have to see how it looks then decided on whether or not to keep it. I've never removed a badge from any of my other Z's so I probably will learn to live with it.

I only said i wanted to remove badge from rear, i think it looks nice on the front.

As you can see from the image posted, the rear looks a lot cleaner without the badge, but that is just my humble opinion.

Maybe the cars that have the aero package won't have the Nissan badge on them.. That would be great (since I'm getting the aero pkg). I'd hate to have to remove it and leave holes in its place. If that's the case I may as well leave it on.

I suspect that the badges on the rear are using the "glue on" type rather than the "hole in the body" type. Hope so, those holes are the first place rust starts looking for. Thinking about replacing the rear nissan with a "Z" logo if it's large enough.

I'm all for personalization..ie...tinted window's, new wheels, but IMO removing the Nissan badge from the rear of the car makes no sense at all. Its not like its the size of a football. I'm sure you're not ashamed of driving a Nissan...right? To each his own...Personalization is what makes your car feel different from everyone elses. I can see taking off stupid dealership stickers and such but leave the Nissan logo. It'll still be a Z in the end.

I wouldn't count on that.

I don't really mind either Nissan badge.

Hey! There's something wrong with the picture of the blue car above.

Oh, I get it, someone photoshopped out the rear Nissan badge. Now why would anyone want to do that? All real sports cars have a badge, its like one of the rules.

I think I'll be too busy with other things to worry about something as trivial as removing the badge.

But if it doesn't float YOUR boat, take it off. Maybe we could have somekind of zany contest at our first 350Z rally, like all the people that took there's off seeing how far they can "fly" them. Or maybe a removed badge war with two teams lining up on opposite sides of a parking lot. Or maybe spinning them and having a battling-tops style game. Or perhaps....
