Default Rear Mini Nissan Hamburger with CF

I came up with this idea. I like it because it isn't as large as the Factory emblem and it covers the holes that the factory emblem leaves behind:



Combine this with the Z on the stut and it looks good in my opinion:



Than add a satin Z logo with CF on the front and it completes the car and looks much better imho:

a lot better than the upside down Z.

although now your front and rear emblems don't match. but nonetheless i think it looks nicer.

Actually, I was able to re-install the Z emblem the other way. You just had to get it just right. The double sided tape helped to fill in the imperfections left over from the original Nissan hamburger emblem.

I did have the matching logo on the rear with the CF and it was too much. Too big and then the two "Z"'s clashed. Strut and rear deck was too much together. It would be nice if they made a mini Z burger that I could install CF on. Maybe they will. I'll talk to Courtesy.

That other one was the size of the exhaust pipe and it almost looked like a third exhaust with the CF in there. That set up lasted about 5 mins. Then I reinstalled the smaller Z and was able to make it look pretty good:



I just like the new set up even better.

Sorry Tony, not made by Reen Engineering. I have never seen CF in a mini. Reen only did CF inserts for OEM NISSAN original emblems. Even on the Courtesy "Z" Front emblem the Reen product doesn't work. Unfortunately, I wasted my money buying the Reen Engineering CF pieces. They slide around in the aftermarket Z emblems and are way too big for the mini emblems. I had to order a sheet CF myself and cut it to fit myself. No small task. I ordered a engine cover emblem trimmed the legs off and installed it myself. Reen had nothing to do with these mods.
