Default calling all CDN 35th anniversary Z owners (Badge placement)

Hey everyone, I'm a long time lurker of this forum, owned a 300zx TT and now a z35th 350z for over a year.

I'm in need of some help now!! when I bought my Z the previous owner told me it came with an interior badge but it had fallen off.
It was at his place out of town in a shoe box somewhere but he assured me he would mail it when he found it.
WELLL 13months later I finally acquired the badge

so what I really need is someone with the same badge to snap a pic of where the hell it's supposed to go in the car lol.
I want to keep my anniversary accurate to stock so if anyone can help me it would be super awesome.

Thanks!

Oh and here is a pic of what I'm talking about.

These numbered badges were only featured on the 250 or so Canadian 35th anniversary editions. It is mounted on the panel behind the seats where the sub speaker and storage box are fitted. The location is dead center on this panel half way up from where the center storage unit meets the panel and the bottom of the power port door.

I have no useful information in my head, but this type of thing I can remember forever.

Edit: I found this picture for you

Nice, always wondered how I saw people with those same badges also wondering if they were homemade....but I thought no way since they were all identical style badges lol.

Plus because my 35th doesn't have that badge I'm guessing there's no way to find out what actual number the non-Canadian Z's are? Maybe they didn't keep track of those.

I agree the UK badge looks so much better, the US badge looks like someone knocked it up at home!

Jennifer & Texas thank you so much!!
...and I honestly have to agree with everyone on the "quality" of the badge..

I was seriously excited in getting it assuming it looked something like the UK one (which looks freakin awesome btw) . I open the envelope and the CDN badge comes out.... my reaction was more ... oh well that's just... hmmm.. doesn't even say 157 OUT OF ###.

OH well im super happy to finally be able to mount it so thanks again

The badge that iLLlegal has was for the Canadian market. I'm not sure if the US 35th Anniversary had any badging. For the 07-08 NISMO, we have a nice plaque/badge but it's prone to scratches due to the location.

The UK has the best by far design and placement. It's probably another reason why Nissan place the Z34 NISMO plate in the current location.

damn looks like the east coast got the lower numbers of the 35ths haha. I'm in Alberta and this was originally a BC car.

yeah it looks out of place but I like it because it's something special for the CDN market EH.
