Default Having such a hard time finding Nissan "hamburger" emblems!

Sigh...I was nice enough to give away my Nissan emblems 2 months ago when I got a new "Z" emblem and shaved my front emblem. Now I want to go back to the Nissan emblem and no one want to sell me theirs....this absolutely sucks. I shouldn't have gotten rid of those emblems....

I would die before going to the stealership to buy them!!!

/rant

EDIT: Just in case you're wondering, I love the rear "Z" emblem I have right now but to buy another one for the front it would be like $55....I'm too poor for that right now haha Shoulda have bought one when two weeks ago 2 members were selling the "Z" emblems for like $25 and $30 shipped...ARGGG more aggravation!

Just give it time, I'm sure someone will give you theirs. I think I threw mine away, otherwise I'd give them to you.

Thanks bro, it's just fustrating since I'm actually willing to pay for them. Just haven't found anyone with a set - or even anyone with the "Z" emblem that wants to sell theirs. My front bumper is getting painting over the weekend and I need an emblem to put on afterwards...I dont want to roll around without it

You're seriously going back to a more stock look huh? First the Nismo front, now the OEM hamburglar? That front is half of the reason I want a V1 kit now.

My car has always been towards the OEM look. I really like the aftermarket "z" emblem but I am in a tight situation and really don't wanna spend another $60 on an emblem. I'd rather buy 2 stock emblems and sell my current one or what not. I was hoping it would be easy to buy stock emblems...apparently running into a lot of problems

What's wrong with them? I can't tell what they look like exactly from the pic. Is that a Z instead of a Nissan on the burger? You got a link? **Reason for asking is I may be proposing a trade of some sort **

Yeah bro it's a "z" let me get you a better pics

Here it is.

Honestly I love this emblem a lot but I just spent $400 on tickets to go to Houston in July and I just can't see myself spending more money than I already did this month on the Z...lol

Let me toss this around my head for a day or so. I'm really getting tired of my stock burgers but not too sure what to get at the moment. Thanks for the pics.

If you're looking for just a stock one for the front bumper, I have a brand new one here. $20 and it's yours!

Most likely he got them from Courtesy Nissan. I have two sets (different colors) from them. I'm trying to figure out which one I like best and that is the color I'll keep.

Right now I'm trying to decide between the satin finish and the black pearl (car is silverstone).

Sorry, I kind of mucked mine up when I replaced them with the brushed aluminum Z emblem or you could have had them. My bad, DOH! I think I have gotten rid of every Nissan badge on the car, now all Z's. Love the Z, hate Nissan in general!

I don't hate Nissan, but I do not care for their emblem... but I LOVE the Z emblem. I too have replaced every Nissan emblem on my car with a proper "Z."

I even have Z valve stem's on my wheels and "Z" covers on the hub of my Rays.

Yeah. I know.
