I've always thought the rear of the Z looks too "busy" with all the chrome emblems. I don't like the entirely debadged look on the Z, so I was thinking of just getting rid of the 350Z emblem and swapping out the Nissan emblem with the Z emblem from Courtesy Nissan.

Any thoughts on this? Has anyone done this? Any pictures?

Thanks!

 

 

Mine.

 

And.

 

Looks nice! I was thinking of putting the Z emblem in place of the Nissan emblem and getting rid of the 350Z emblem as you have done. e.g. in this picture:



Has anyone done this?

 

That's what I did to mine. Looks nice.

 

I think that I'm going to take off the nissan emblem and the 350z, but put the z from the 350z in place of the nissan emblem...

 

I THink theres holes behind it... good luck and let us know how it turns out

 

there ARE two msall holes behind the nissan emblem.... i've seen someon plug it and air brushed it... pic is in here somewhere... search if u have time!

 

Yes there are alignment holes for the Nissan badge so the installers don't screw it up.
I replaced it with the courtesy Z badge. Looks good, but as posted higher, it's kind of busy back there.
If I had my choice. I'd loose the rear Nissan badge all together. But you would have to have the holes filled in and painted.

Probably not worth the trouble or expense.

 

I'm thinking about doing this as well. Do you just use a hairdryer to loosen up the badges? Are they difficult to remove?

 

MySilverstone back with the Courtesy Badges and no 350Z Emblem

 

minus the 350 Z looks very nice.... i think i have a wkd project!!!!
removing the badge was a PAIN IN the butt... be careful not to scratch the paint... practice first if you can Use heat gun!

 

Yes I just plugged in the hairdryer in the garage and heated the letters up. Then I used dental floss to get them off but you can probably pull them off if they are hot enough. Don't burn your fingers. Then I used the automotive goo gone from walmart or some other store to clean the area of glue. Then I claybar'd the area and waxed it. Later on I washed, clayed, and waxed the whole car and that is what it looks like now. Also, don't forget the hairdryer in the garage or you may suffer repercussions from the person who actually uses it upstairs.

 

This was posted before but might give someone that missed it an idea. The "Z" is from the door sill plate. There's also one on the rear strut brace.
