Just trying to find out the reason behind this. I have nothing against it. I heard badges are removed to prevent cops from easily identifying a car. Is this correct? Or is it to get a smooth, customized look?
Just curious!

 

Seems to be a matter of personal preference.

I had not heard of removing badgres to thwart the police.... and of course if I have not heard of it, it's not ture

 

Lol, mainly for the smooooooth look...if that's what floats your boat of course

 

reason I see is so you can remove them nicely so some ******* doesnt do it for you with a rusty screwdriver.

but I havent removed mine, and Im sure thats not why others are doing it.

 

I never removed a badge from my cars before, but I did remove the front NISSAN because the darn thing is sooooo big, and there is a nice Z logo to use on it's place...

 

Gotta love that Z emblem... i need to get myself a pair for the front and rear

 

When I first got my Z, I wanted to make the switch to the Z emblems. But after a couple of weeks I grew used to the Nissan ones and actually like them now.

 

My g/f has a G35 coupe...they got her with a rusty screwdriver...

 

Well, when someone asks me what is the car that I have, what comes out naturally is : "I have a Z..." I don't think of Nissan. I think Z , so for badging, Zeeing it just fits well.

Besides say : "Nissan"
then say
"Z..."

Which is more Bad Azz ?

MoZi

 

its a cleaner look IMO..look at ACP's car...cant beat it...ill post pics of mine when it gets outa the shop..you can be the judge i guess

 

I shaved mine not to long ago, I love the cleaner look it gives here:

For a cleaner look and semi-uniqueness. I got lucky because the Roadster does not have two holes underneatch the Nissan "hamburger."

The little nubs left over from the Nissan logo bug me too. I'm sure it would look worse if they weren't filled in, but none of the other Z emblems are like that.

 

Where I am from some guys De-badge when they have modded
thier cars. I guess they are trying to have a different look.
it's an easy mod to make to the car.

I think it looks cool. If I modded my Z maybe I'd de-badge.

 

i know a couple of people that repainted their cars and never bothered putting the badges back on. it could be as simple as taht.

 

Beautiful work. Was it an easy process to re-badge? Any resources on how to go about it and not mess up your car?

 

Badges... We don't need no stinkin' Badges!

I debadged my 02 Maxima SE. Thinking of doing the same to the Z. I guess I just don't like excessive emblems, labels and stickers of any kind.
Especially hate it when dealers put a decal with their dealership's name on a car. It makesthe car look like cr*p. Thank god for the ones that just install a license plate frame with the dealership name on it-- at least you can take it off and replace it with a plain one.

 

It's easy. Lots of dental floss and take your time. Once I got the badges off I used Goof-off to get the remaining adhesive off.
