Default Is removal of the Z from side emblem possible?

It looks like it is all one piece. I just want to remove the Z from the black circle. Can it be done, and if so how? Thanks!

Why are you taking off the Z emblem? are you going to install LEDs?

I am keeping the two intact on the sides. I have an extra one and I want to remove the Z off of the black circle and put in in place of the nissan hamburger on the rear panel. It doesn't look like JUST the silver Z from the black circle can be removed. Can someone please confirm? Not sure if you are understanding my question. It's kind of confusing. I know the entire emblem can obviously be removed. I want to take it a step further and seperate the Z from the circle.

Corsair - Sorry, No you can't seperate the black background from the Z portion on that emblem. You should just buy the 350Z emblem here:

Use the Z out of the emblem to do this:





I believe this is what you want to do anyways.

I am going to for this on the rear now. Just waiting for the parts:



I actually need two of those "Z" emblems out of the 350Z set because I want to use them on the visors.

It's all about adding the little touches.

Whoop there he is.....



That is you right?

ive thought about using those emblems for the rear deck lid. (i have a spare kickplate set). im just wondering if the z would actually cover the holes left by the removed emblem. the kickplate's z is short but wide.

the z off the rear strut bar will also work, but the cost of the rear strut bar cover is more expensive than the plastic kickplate.
and unfortunately they don't sell the z emblem off the rear strut bar cover.
however, i'm sure there are people who are purchasing the '06 strut cover, maybe you can find a old strut bar cover for cheap.

as for the z in the 350z emblem, its too small, unless you put it upside down like shown above.

Sean -

Too bad you can't do something like this for the rear with red LED's and hook it to a switch inside so you can illuminate it whenever you want:

That looks good! Does it blink when you turn when you signal?
