Default Shaved front emblem or no?

Just want to see how many of you guys shaved the front emblem.

My car is in the body shop and will be in the process of painting the front bumper soon....so I need you guys to help me out and decide!

Shaved emblem look or no? I have to tell them soon so they can fill in the emblem gap or what not.

Also how about the rear hamburger? the 350z emblem is shaved....and I want to replace it with a fairlady Z emblem....i'm probably going to get flammed for this....lol..

My car is a 2004 super black track edition.

What's going on the car also? INGs LX Sport lip kit (replica...but its urethane) =]

Personal preference thing. Do what you want, their are valid arguments for both sides.

If you just want to know what the majority of other people like, do a poll.

How is the 350 emblem shaved? I thought it was applied to smooth metal? I can go either way on the shaved front bumper but do feel it looks better if done on an aftermaket bumper.

Now for the Fairlady Z emblem. Why not just put on a GTR or Skyline emblem instead? Maybe a Chevy Tahoe or some other car you do not own. You drive a 350Z right? So put on what you have!

You won't regret it......

The lip is a urethane replica.... The fitment was pretty good. The body shop did have to do some prep work to get the fitment to a acceptable level..
