Doesnt that look like the roadster logo from some other car? I can remember but I've seen that before. This is the one I got on my license plate (not that it means anything )

I say no, too large (12 inches) only to say roadster. Your car is more sleek without it

Settle down everyone!!!

I agree, putting that "roadster" emblem on would be too...ummm...German/Ricey?

I just put the Fairlady Z and Nismo emblems on this past weekend.
Now I can't wait for someone who doesn't know the Z past to ask me where I got a Fairlady Z or better yet the first person to goto a dealership and ask if they have any Fairlady Z's. You know for a fact that half of the Nissan idiots have no clue what a Fairlady Z is.

In the Same Font as the 350 would be perfect..

I always wondered why they didn't badge each line..
I have only seen one Z that badged "Touring"..

I would like to see pics of the emblem on someones car before i make judgements but as of now i agree with the mass's on this. Too big, not good font, too expensive.

What font most closly resembles the 350Z logon on the car? I have a friend that owns a metal shop and can CNC some Roadster badges custom for us if anyone is interested? Should be REALLY inexpensive.

I agree looks too much like the 80's Carrera.

I remember a concept pic from Nissan with a Roadster moniker in the 350z writing. I can't remember where I saw it though...
