OK it's final. I'm going with Satin Z emblem with CF inserts up front and a smaller Nissan hamberger centered on the rear with CF inserts.
Here is the front with emblem already installed:

Here is the Photochop of what the rears going to look like when I get the hamberger next week:

Here's what the rear look like now. Not bad however, I think it will look better going to the hamberger with the CF since there is already a big "Z" that you can see through the window on the stut bar:

After all this, I am installing the Z4 type LED ring underneath the side Z emblems, changing some the lamps to LED's and replacing the front side reflectors with a custom one that has LED's in it. Those are on the way as well. It should make it just that much nicer at night time.

good move on the smaller rear badge
think ill do the same, the engine cover emblem will work
re led reflectors, mine were done by z-enterprises and look great at night. Once i get the 06 tail lights on, theyll match perfectly

I just ordered that engine cover emblem from Nissan earlier today.
It's cheap like $16. Smaller and cheaper than the Z Satin Badge that I thought I wanted at first. I think smaller is better here.
Here's the part number it you need it. 14048-z33ec. Just be aware that it is plastic like the other outside emblems and it has a pin on the back you'll have to remove it or if it fits one of those hole it might be just the thing we are looking for. It does come with the double sided tape already on it so it should be perfect. I'll post a couple pictures here when it's done the end of next week. It looks better than the Nissan hamberger that I have on the rear of my Pathfinder even though it was about the same size.
I know I could have gone to the wreckers and picked one up. But, I would have spent more than $16 in time and gas doing it. It will be nice to have a NEW one anyways.
CF came in the mail yesterday so I am set.
Thanks for your response.

i'd go as far as removing the 350Z and maybe replacing the nissan emblem with a Z emblem. thats IF i had a few 100's laying around. i'd probably spend it on something else anyway.
nothing looks a little naked. doesnt it?
