Default Backwards 'Z' emblem?

So I've been looking at this Z for for a while now, and noticed today that the passenger side 'Z' emblem on the front fender appears to be backwards. Carfax checks out clean, but I'm wondering if this wasn't involved in an accident of some kind and the emblem was not properly replaced. Any ideas on this?

Dont trust the carfax, its a false sense of security.

Why else would they have replaced the emblem, funny that its on backwards!

Its been wrecked or someone had those lights behind their emblems and then sold em when they sold the car. My 20 bucks is on the car has been wrecked.

I wouldn't say "don't trust carfax" but I would say "Don't depend on Carfax" It doesn't know things that weren't reported...trust your eyes. "the evidence doesn't lie."

I believe the picture is in 'reverse' view (inverted) because the antenna is on
the opposite side (it is of course on the drivers side / not the passenger side) so the entire exposure is in the inverse . . . that would explain the Z looking
like an S!

The picture is definitely INVERTED/REVERSED. As you can see the picture of the first gray car behind the 350Z, it has some number(988) on the window and that is also INVERTED.

Smart people


LOL @ the people that didn't catch it


And think about it, draw a Z on a piece of paper, and try to rotate it in a way that the Z is backwards. IMPOSSIBLE

BTW, for some reason "phidelt844" post this thread coz wasn't obvious for him, no? Maybe he didn't noticed that everything looked reversed/inverted/mirrowed and that's and only why I referred the numbers to clarify things and be more OBVIOUS, cool now?

I almost bought an Audi S4, convertible with AWD from them instead of the Z, granted it was a sweet car, but I love the Z.
