Default my little project..
it is little, its the emblem that goes on the hatch on the drivers side. my car didnt have the "350z" emblem, so i decided to try my hand at making one..

check it out, pure carbon and still needs fine tuning..

I like the idea, but those numbers are way too big and look out of place on a car without other CF accents, imho.

Nice idea so spend some extra time to perfect it. Finding the dimensions of the stock size should not be a problem. Obviously there are other Zs in your area.

Gotta agree with above now... Seeing it on the car is different.




Try take a pic during a sunny day with no flash.

I am pretty neutral on it. Your second attempt does look nicer then the first. Good work.

I think that looks horrid, why not just leave it off? Even if it looks okay then the burger looks stupid they HAVE to be the same material.......looks cheap IMO. Your car looks clean and nice tho!
