becuase its 2x the price. My place can do all 3 emblems:350z sign, front and back nissan sign, and the 2 Z circles for $150. But courtesyparts will sell them for $65each will will come out to $325. If you wana spend that much more your more than welcome 2.

Guess you are, 59 for front, 61 for rear, 120 for sides(its 59 EACH!!!!) that comes out to about 240 NOT including the 350z sign, if you add that in then your total is $330.


So once again, if you guys want you can pay 2x the price.

Black Chrome. These have been purchased for the 96 CE but mine are being done as we speak. I don't have a price on the wheels but for plenum, strut bar brackets and cam covers to be powder coated will be $150. Guess I could get him to hit the emblems while doing the wheels for ???, I think nada extra.

i had them done back in 2003, and i have since sold them to someone here on the forums as i've shaved/filled the front and rear emblems and no longer needed them.

Do you have any pics of the black on your le mans? I love the black chrome look, but am curious to see how it looks on le mans if you say it clashes.
