Are you the Godfather because a lot of people must hate you to do that to your cars.

Damn that sucks, straight ghetto. Luckily they didnt yank out any paint off when they took off the emblem.

BTW, what part of CA you from?

seantt:
yeah, my eclipse got egged 3 times. they even shoved eggs up my greddy exhaust. so when i started the car and revved, eggs went flying out. yeah, i got those exact egg marks, and there was nothing that could be done, unless you repaint the entire body panel(s).

as for the missing 350z emblem.... at least they didn't take the nissan emblems as well. guess you can just clean off the adhesive and leave it as is, or maybe replace it with the "350z" emblem or the "fairladyz" emblem, but then the risk that it will be stolen again.

There should be a law that would cut off the fingers of those who steal car's badges. Are you in SD?

Actually in other countries, things like that are laws (in some, the hand you steal a purse with...they cut off). My teacher always would sit on the roof with a paintball gun and when someone would try to egg his house or something like that, he would shoot them from the roof.

Did you get your car repainted, or is that a new color for the Z?

the car looks better without the badges. I removed mine the first day. replaced the front one with the Black Z and left the back steath. looks way cooler.

but yeah, its true, the car does look better without badges, but that's just my opinion. when i took out mine (to put the JDM Fairlady Z emblem in), i notice it looks great without badges.

that pudgy Nissan logo is ...horrible. the replacemant black z badge is nice,as it matches the side emblems...on the back..there's already a nice Z on the crossbar.

I have always hated having 'word logos' on my cars and bikes, always remove them.

mgl: Yea thats a good idea to go without badges, but im leasing it so i cant do that!

happypants: No its not a new color my digital camera just sucks!

Selski12 + 90260Z: No not san diego like the LA arefa!


Im thinking about removing all the badges on the back and putting a 350z or a fairlady embablem in the center on the back.


yeah i donno what im gonna do yet. Sh*t happens to our cars like every week! Lil highschool girls and kids, pretty stupid!

The G35 is the only one that doesnt have any vandalism damage to it!
