Default Z Emblem (Used the search function already but no result!!)

The Z emblem that I'm looking for is the one on the rear strut bar...

I don't wanna take the one on my door sill or rear strut bar...

I already went through courtesyparts and performance nissan (even e-mail them) but they said the Z emblem is not sold on it's own...

So anyone in this forum know where I can get the Z emblem?!


PS: For those who dunno what I'm talking about, I uploaded a picture for ya...

Thanks!!!

You might luck out and find someone that is selling their "non alluminum" (aka standard) sill plates (aka kick plates) or maybe buy some new one as they have the exact same size Z as that on the rear strut bar.

Here is a picture of the one you want, sans the silver "Z". The "Z" is easily removed by taking an exacto knife and removing the plastic "rivets" holding the Z onto the bottom of the plate.

Yeah I removed the one off my strut bar easily in order to repaint it. I wouldn't mind using it as an emblem in back but the strut looks naked without the Z emblem.

Courtesy parts needs to sell these independently from the kickpanel and strut covers.

Yes, there are 2 small holes to line up the emblem.

Actually I seem to remember reading a few months ago that later years (ie 2004, 2005) didn't have the two holes, but that might have only been on the roadster. In any event, the holes will not present a problem if you use the "Z" from the rear strut bar or the sill as it does cover them up.

Here are a couple of pictures. First one of the holes (2003) and the second one shows that it does cover up the holes.

Yeah, I did a little more research and I'm pretty sure it's just the Roadsters that don't have the holes back there.

Besides the "stock" Z from either the door sill or rear strut brace, I believe that the little Z from the "350Z" emblem on the back of the car will work, although personally I think it's a little too small for the area.

Tommy Kaira is the only other Z I have seen, but looks like that one is no longer available. Matter of fact, I have never seen anyone else besides myself that has that one...
