Unhappy Someone Stole my emblems

!!! I was filling up the tank today and noticed that the side emblem was missing, I checked the other side and that side's was missing also.. THen I walked around the car, and the b*tch that did it took the 350z emblem in the back, and scratched the whole area around it like crazy!!!!

Man Im pissed, Im glad this bastard didnt key my car, but my theory is that he/she just wanted the Z emblems cause they didnt take the nissan emblems.

Man...anyone kno where I can buy these and how much??

try performance nissan. they dont list most of their oem parts, but they can get anything oem and probably at a lower price. or you can pay a bit more and go with courtesy nissan.... or you could try your local nisan dealership.

i personally prefer performance nissan. they are cool people and very personable.

hahaha... owned. He has poor feedback, looking at his history, he's a deadbeat... has the earmarks of a scumbag that would take your emblems. I think we found your thief.

edit - also look at his items for sale... probably all stolen. I'd say prosecute him if you can. Just to be a pain in the ***

Any Nissan dealer can get you the emblems.

Wow, Nissan has finally broken into the ranks of Cadillac and Mercedes in terms of stolen emblems/hood ornaments.

This same seller on E-bay has sold the side emblems on a previous sale. CHeck his feedback. How long do you think the emblems were stolen because this aution was from 11/9.

Grrrrr.... Dude, that's grounds for an a$$ whooping. I wish i was in cali just so i could help you monkey stomp that guy. Hell, i'd do it myself, you could just watch and take pics for the board. Like Travolta said in Pulp Fiction, it would almost be worth him doing it just so we could catch him doing it. Man that p!sses me off.

Those are missing the double sided tape that goes on the back.

You can get replacement emblems from Courtesy Nissan. They are usually very quick about gettting the orders out to you. I am assuming the the "Z" they took from you was part of the "350Z" emblem on the left side of the hatch. If you had the "Z" badge in place of the Nissan badge, you can get that at Courtesy also. Here are some links to the badges.

Looks like he is trying to improve his operational efficiency by photographing the emblems before he rips them off the car

Its funny but its not. !

It does look bad for him, but maybe he works for a junk yard.
