Default Badging Help!

I know this has been posted before (i couldn't find it) and I know this is the wrong section (but this section has the most members looking at) so here is my questions because I am bored and want to do it now! (Please no complaining that its the wrong section or its been posted before... i know this!)

I have a 2007 350Z (NOT a roadster)

1) I am pretty sure the 350Z in the back has no holes... True?
2) I am also pretty sure the NISSAN symbol in the back DOES have holes... True?
3) Do the Z's in a circle on each side of the car... holes or adhesive?
4) Nissan symbol in the front... holes?

Thanks guys

1) I am pretty sure the 350Z in the back has no holes... True? - Correct no holes.
2) I am also pretty sure the NISSAN symbol in the back DOES have holes... True? Yes it has two small holes:

3) Do the Z's in a circle on each side of the car... holes or adhesive? Both Alignment holes with adhesive. Can't remember it if is nutted on the back side however. I think it is.
4) Nissan symbol in the front... holes? No, holes just adhesive. However, when you take it out you want to put an emblem back in because it's indented for the emblem. I put a nice satin aftermarket Z hamberger in there.



Thanks guys

Satin Z badge .... Courtesy Nissan I think. Carbon Fiber insert for it eBay.

The holes are pretty ragged from the factory so you need to cover them:
I went with the Z symbol off the the 350Z for a while.


Then to a small Nissan badge with Carbon Fiber:

I'm thinking of going back to the small Z symbol now

Yep, at the time I changed it I just thought the Z on the Strut brace through the window and the Z on the deck lid was too repetitive. Now, I figure even the small Nissan cheapens the car. NISSAN, I liked Datsun .... But, I don't think anyone else view it as cheapening. Dunno .....

Yeah, I'm thinking so too ... Many compliments on the Z, none on the NISSAN.

Just use the Z from the 350Z and you have it already. Be carefully and place it over the holes in the rear deck you see when you remove the hamberger.

I just modded mine tonight. I think I'll sport this Z emblem for a while. At first I thought it was too big. Now, I don't think so. It's the same size as the stock hamberger but, it's a satin instead of chrome badge with a Z in the middle. I added CF inserts that I had left over from the eBay set.





Couldn't sleep last night so I went in the garage and just did it, plus a few other things I've been meaning to do on the car.
