get them both... they are the first thing i put on my car (the day after i bought it). it makes the car look more exotic in my opinion... because the emblems emphasize the fact that this is not just a nissan.. its a 350Z

I would do just the one up front. I like the naked look in the back...

Zboater,

GWAPIT069,

use a hair dryer and heat the emblem up really good...3 or 4 min is plenty(hold the hair dryer 4 to 8 inches away)...then use a flat screwdriver or even a butter knife and place a towel between the emblem and hatch and peel away. the trickiest part is getting the emblem to initially start peeling from the hatch, but once you get it started it is a breeze. use tar remover or Goo-Gone to remove the sticky residue on hatch and wa-la! hope this helps ya..

I waited for a really hot day and took some fishing line and pulled it between the emblem and the car. The 04 roadster does not have any holes - I remember reading that the 03 coupes have two holes that would need to be patched up. Not sure about the 04 coupes. I removed the residue with my thumb by rolling it off. No marks or scratches, but I was VERY careful!!!!

yes, i have an 04 Enthusiast coupe and i removed mine and installed the Z emblems like the others did...there are no holes to cover up on the rear. the front bumper does have 2 embossed dimples to help position the emblem, but it doesn't sound like you are removing the front anyways so you should be in the clear.

The hairdryer part works great but I used some fishing line like dental floss to remove the emblem....I get a little nervous when I hear the butter knife part......no offense to the other fellow, just sounds a bit riskier...IMO.....ooops, just noticed ZBoater already mentioned that....Sorry for the repeat.....
