I luv my ladiez shaved

The only emblems on my Z now are just the side emblems & even that I'm planning on shaving. I do agree that it does look a lot better if you have at least a front lip kit if you do the front.

taurran, your car looks stupid sick. That's what I'm talking about and with my favorite kit. Looks very clean. Nice job.

For all the people who posted up pictures of their shaved Zed. It isn't necessarily because you shaved the Zed that the car looks good. Maybe it's the fact that you are showing pictures of your beatiful car with great mods that you have done to it that makes your Zed look good. And in some cases, with a great photo shoot.

Like taurran for example... I'm too busy looking at his intercooler, body kit, rims, etc. Of course you would love his car, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's because he shaved his front that that is the case.

If you guys owned a Porsche 911 Turbo S, would you shave off the badge on the hood and (more importantly)take off the "Turbo S" emblem on the back?
If you guys owned a Lamborghini Murcielago, would you shave of the badge on the hood and (more importantly) take off the "Lamborghini" emblem in the back?

Hope I don't sound confrontantional, that is not my intention.

(from the side) - it doesn't distrub the lines from the bumper to hood and vice versa now. and yes, I'd debadge a 911-T/TT/T-S - let people think it's a C2 hehehe

I would definately, without question, rock a badgeless and emblemless Porsche, and any car I would own (money allowing).

I'm fairly certain my car would look worse with a "nose".

Just got mine back today from the shop, going to snap pics this weekend when I can wash/wax a little, my veilside had a crack thats fixed now, they drilled a hole and put a screw in under the Veilside Emblem to it stays up in the proper position, the hamburger is gone and it flows NICE. Quick little pic that I took when I got home...

you have a point, but telling someone you have a lamborghini or porshe is different than telling someone you have a nissan. a nissan what?? versa ? on the other hand. . .a lamborghini?? no shiznit!!

EXACTLY. Had I bought a lambo or porsche, I would not shave the front. The symbol on exotics are much nicer and add to the "wow" factor. On the other hand, The hamburger nissan symbol IMO makes the car look cheaper and takes away from the uniqueness of the Z. I don't want multiple symbols on a $30,000 car that is also placed on a $10,000 sentra. One Nissan symbol on the back will do.

The same goes with all Z's. You have to take it to a body shop and they will fill it with fiberglass and plastic filler/bondo.
