Default bastard stole my emblems! where 2 get replacements?

Some idiot decided to steal the two side "Z" emblems and the back "350z" emblem. Their probably gonna go stick it on their retarded 87 maxima or some bullshi*...Anyway, anyone where I can get replacements for cheap?

Also, what's the best way to clear up the sticky residue left for the "350Z" emblem on the back. Thanks.

Bug and Tar Remover will disolve the sticky glump on your car. You can pick this up at any auto parts store. This is also great for disolving the tar that gets on the lower body panels. As far as the emblems, Coutesy Nissan has been a great source for that kind of stuff. You might even consider changing the back emblem to the "Fairlady Z". The side emblems are pretty reasonable also.

This has been a common problem for folks living in CA, expecially those in the San Francisco area. There's a retard on ebay that's been selling emblems with the attachments broken off.

Gee, I wonder where he got them?

These kind of people make me sick. They never seem to get caught in the act either. If they did they should get that emblem shoved up their ***.

LOL that reminds me of that part in pulp fiction when John Travolta is talking about the guy that keyed his car after he got it out of storage. It would almost be worth him doing it if i could catch him doing it.

You can take the side emblems off with a string of dental floss.... just pull it right through and off it comes...

Sad thing is they're usually little highschool kids who just take em as bragging trophies.

Get this...

I knew a girl in highschool....WAAY back when, she had a collection of emblems all tied together on her backpack! Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus, Mercedes, BMW...you name it, she had it.

I ripped an emblem off a car ONCE in like 3rd grade when I really didn't know any better. A friend of mine had a bunch of them and told me to do it so like an idiot I did. Really pisses me off now.

Anyone caught doing that older than the age of 13-14 should be whipped. 3 lashes at least. That goes double for car keying as well.
