I know this has been a topic of hot debate..noticed today that Courtesy Nissan now has Z logo badges that match the door handles in a Satin Finish, which is what I believe many of us have been waiting for. Ordered mine today!http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...Code=Z33S-EMBS

 

im glad that they finally came out with these. alot of people will be very happy.. because the first emblems (that looked like the side emblems) just didnt look right on the front and back. i purchased these emblems in chrome and i am very happy with them. the chrome emblems go with my car, because i have added chrome accents (chrome grill, antenna, emblems). but these satin emblems will look great on the car, since it will match the handles and rear emblems. great product!

 

any tips on removing the factory emblems?

 

Damn this sucks, I just ordered the chrome ones! These look so much better though...

 

There easy. just peel off the factory emblems and use your finger to "roll" off the sticky tape left behind. then clean the surface and apply the new emblems.

 

What do you guys think would look better? the chrome ones or the satin ones on my Z???

I have the chrome ones.. pics:

 

oh, i didnt kno they were just stick-on's
thanks

 

i think your chrome ones look damn good with your wheels.

 

Chrome i dont dig too much on Imports.....muscle car i guess....but those satins look hella sick it has that oem look but with a nice flavor

 

Thanks, I was thinking that also. Love the kit

 

My car has 10 "Z" logos on it and will soon have 20 "Nismo" logos on it already. More Z logos are overkill in my opinion. Especially on the rear since it already says "350Z". Would look good if one removed the stock 350Z logo, then just had the Z emblem. A nice looking piece however.

Aren't we lucky that we can worry about such things???

 

The roadster has no holes in the rear and the coupe has 2.
The key is to warm the emblem first. Use masking tape around the emblem to avoid scratches. Use a heavy fish line and sort of "saw" and when doing so always pull upwards so you don't scratch the paint. After a while you could actually lift the emblem off with your fingers. The glue reside that is left can be taken off by using your fingers and roll the stuff off. Then I used Goo Gone to clean it up 100%. This also was a good way to prep it up before placing the new emblem on. If you want to leave it shaved (roadster) just apply some wax on the entire trunk area. If you want to add an emblem make sure the area is clean & dry and MARK your tape so it is centered correctly. Before you placed the new emblem on, you could also add some drops of super glue to the adhesive side....hold with some hand pressure for several minutes and try not getting the car wet for several days afterwards. Most importantly...Take your time and do not rush the job. lol

 

no hot girl in the pictures this time.

 

Werd. Incidentally Max (goin off topic), is that a Greddy body kit you got on the Z? Nice.

 

I think the satin finish sucks buttocks. It doesn't have a crisp contrast and it looks blurred. It's not legible from a distance.

 

Thanks,

Thats correct and Nismo wing.

 

looks nice... may consider it.

nice find!

 

I like them both

 

man this is why I hate this board sometimes. Everytime I see something I have to order it. LOL

satin finish on order.
