I just removed my front Z emblem. It diddn’t take very long. I just used a hair dryer, rubber tipped kitchen utensil and some goo-be-gone.


Ok so, I am replacing it with the carbon fiber Z but I didn’t realize that the front has three metal “guide pins” for the OEM hamburger lol my bad. I am ticked because I wanted to get this on tonight.

I really don’t have anything to grind these pieces down with so the new emblem may sit flush with the bumper and have the adhesive at its optimal level. What is the best way to go about this?

I think I am going to take it to my body shop tomorrow asap after work because I need the car for the weekend and would prefer not to drive around without the emblem.

Any thoughts?

 

I guess like your screen name says, it is "Risky Business" lol.

 

True. Thanks for the insight.

 

Crack them of with an exacto knife. Do you really need to take your car to the body shop to get an emblem installed?

 

I really don't thanks. I just didn't want to crack the bumper in the process. I was just asking for advice. Thanks for your input.

 

I used an exacto knife also to slice off the portruding plastic guide. It'll just take you a couple of minutes to do it.

 

thanks. I will give it a shot. Like many, just don't want to ding/sratch the hell out of the thing. Ty.

 

RogerV if that is your girlfriend you are my hero....
Oh and a Dremel would work well to buzz that pin off.

 

she's on. Thanks guys.

 

Heat up the blade of the exacto knife and it should cut thorugh like butter

 

How about some pics of this mod? Just wondering if it's the same CF Z emblem that I installed for both front & rear of my Z?

 

it is on nicely. In terms of pix...I will try to get some asap. Digi cam batteries were toast when I fired it up. Will take some pix tomorrow.
