Default Painted the "350Z" emblem black

The Z was emblem'less for a while. The 350Z emblem had just been laying around. So I was bored and decided to do this. Tell me what you guys think. I will most likely take it out pretty soon. I personally still prefer the clean look more.

black looks nice if you paint the hamburger and tint the blinkers.

What about the spray paint job on the emblem though? I've never ever done anything like that. I used to fail in all my art classes. I do agree the hamburger needs to be black as well to go well with it. Again, this was out of boredom. I will probably take it out to keep the clean look.

I like it, I always thought it was weird how they had the brushed aluminum 350z, but a chrome hamburger...

I'm thinking about painting my front hamburger black, I think that'd look tight...doesn't the rear have screws in it?

I think it looks great. Personally I think that without the emblems it feels like something is missing. Your car and your choice though, so do whatever you like best!

I think it looks great!

If you don't wanna do it yourself or replace your chrome Nissan Burger with a cool black pearl "Z" emblem as well, then go to Courtesy Nissan and check out your options. http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...de=Z33EM-CHRBK

I agree, I should get the Nissan hamburger emblem black as well. So why haven't I done it? Because I didn't get around to it yet... lol. THere is one challenge though. The word "NISSAN" is alrady black in the emblem. So I'll have to somehow paint only word a different color. Any idea on how to do it? Also, how to do it in a simple way? Again, I'm not an artist. I can only draw stick figures.

The front bumper is the Aerosync bumper. Yes, it's a nismo replica, but it fits extremely well and it's made out of polyurethene instead of fiberglass like the authentic nismo. Weird how the color looks so off in the picture. Because the color looks perfect in person. It was extremely bright outside when I took the picture. Maybe it's the different reflection from the different clearcoat.

keep it, i think it a good touch. Just paint the hamburger as well and think about tint on the blinkers.

I'm in the process of painting a "FAIRLADY Z" emblem. Instead of using black paint, I used metallic black this time.
