I Love Rice. Im going to take all badges off that say Nissan or 350Z etc because i am ashamed that i live in the US and i drive what i do. I love JDM terminology and i'd rather disguise what my car is.

I took the emblems off and covered the two holes left by the Nissan emblem with the z out of the 350Z that was on the rear deck. The top hole is covered by the top of the Z. The bottom hole is covered by the / in the Z.
I also couldn't handle the front emblem so this is what I did there:

I think changing the emblems look good but I associate debadging with racer cars, I debadged my focus but I wouldn't my z. just like I wouldn't put clear tail lights or led blinkers on a higher end car. why hide the respected z name?

Frankly, I think the stock badging is so, so. I think I have shown it can be done much better and cleaner. I am proud to own a High Quality Japanese car. I am glad to see that Japan came back after the war to become a respectable country to do business with.
Japan has become a very important part of why our world is so good. They push us all the time to make a better product. That wasn't always so. I wish American car quality was better. My two Nissan have had fewer problems together than either one of my American cars. It's just sad. You tell me why we can't make as good a car for less money?
BTW- I have owned a lot of American Cars in the past. My father was a FORD executive for 40 years. He would never buy a "Jap" car. Some people never forgive and move on. I know WWII was horrible. However, that was over 60 years ago.

All my badges are remaining where they are. The more people take off their badges, the more my car looks unique =).
I hate seeing misplaced emblems on cars that have been repainted.
You got the Civic on the Right hand bottom side right next to the EX badge, when it should be on the on top right corner. It looks cheesy to me. I'm sure you guys see this on other cars all the time.
I've seen the Civic badge covering the two holes where the middle honda Emblem should be. It's like they're trying to hide the holes instead of just getting them removed.
No offense to those have modified their emblems, especially to those just left them off after a repaint. If you like it go for it, it's just my opinion.

My opinion on the Z, is that I'm not a big fan of all the big and shiney badges. I'm not a fan of "bling". I've been thinking about either removing them, or possibly getting them painted to match the body.
