Swapped rear emblem / partially debadged
Found some good high-strength 3M tape so this guy would stay on there, so here's a pic of the finished product 
Pretty straightforward process, took about 1 hour (wanted to be very sure before I stuck this thing on there)
1. Used heat gun & dental floss to remove stock emblems
2. Used Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover (clearcoat safe) and elbow grease to remove the glue / tape
3. Painter's tape (blue kind) to frame up the spot where this would go
4. High-strength waterproof 3M doublesided tape and a heat gun to get everything ready to go
5. Slap it down and held on for about a minute
Badge is from a 70's Z. Thanks for all your help / tips!

not my style, but kudos for being different and doing what you like! 
Just because it wasn't sold here as a Fairlady, doesn't mean it's not... Same car. It's not like he's putting a Type R badge on...
