umm.. I think above emblem is not the official TK (maybe a Z emblem made by TK?)
the TK emblem, from what I know has 3. One is a big T (shaped like a 7). Another is a silver emblem that spells out the whole name, and another is a lady bug looking thingy.

I don't think anyone really cares if it is Tommy Kaira or Tommy Vu who made it, it's just a nice looking emblem. For anyone that actually questions whether it is "officially" made by TK, here is the webpage (click the webpage to go to the TK site - note that the "old" shifter is no longer on this page):


BTW, if anyone wants to call the company direct, the phone number is 011-81-075-326-3223 and they are 14 hours ahead. Right now it is 7 AM EST Wednesday and there it is 9 AM on Thursday. Phone call through my service is ~$2.50 per minute. If you speak Japanese, that would be a plus!

Would anyone be interested in this if it was only a vinyl decal? Im talking to Ryan at Grafxwerks about possibly doing this as a decal w/ the silver border and everything. I used to have "spec V" decals from his company on my sentra so I know they make good decals. I asked him if he could make a raised emblem though too, so he'll be getting back to me.

The cool part is that he could probably do it in different color combos with different colored borders too.

you gotta be kidding.. that's like saying who cares if it's a replica or authentic. I guess you wouldn't mind using Gismo exhaust, beilside front lip and Top Srotum CF hood?

nice find though

I just heard back from Ryan at Grafxwerks... he can make this decal... the stock Z is 1" by 2" but this one looks a little taller so i told him to do 1.5" by 2"

He said they'd be around 10 bucks, red w/ a silver border and he said it would look VERY close to that emblem.

Let me know if anyone is interested in that. Its pretty dang cheap and if you dont have any other emblems on the back it probably would look awesome.

hey I need an emblem for the front. Do you know if it's plastic? The original "T" emblem is aluminum, I believe.

It would basically be a double layer vinyl decal. It would look the same as that red TK Z emblem, but it wouldn't be raised up like an actual emblem.

The bonus is that you could put it on the front bumper or anywhere curved as well because it goes on just like a die-cut sticker.

I had their "spec V" decals on the sides of my spec V and they were much higher quality than the stock spec v's nissan put on were.
