Got bored.. Decided to custom my Fairlady emblem!
Got bored at home waiting for my car to get back from the paint shop. Decided to paint the new emblem I got.
I had hoped the red would be a little bit better, but I made the mistake of thinking satin would turn out the same as matte. Also the color is more orange than red I think. Does anyone know where I can find a matte red for cheap? I'm going to sand, and repaint this weekend.
I think once it's finished with the correct colors it'll look pretty awesome on back of the Z!

I don't think it looks good in that color, and satin finish. But once its the correct deep red, in a matte finish I think it will look extremely good on my new white paint. I'll update the thread once I get the car back.

Nice if you like it that's all that counts. I remember that i got a fairlady symbol when i got the car and ppl on here attacked me because my car isn't JDM RHD and bla bla bla...
i just took them off and put the burgers in the black pearl looks good on 05' silver.

Stopped by the paint shop. Car is 95% complete. Needs to be reassembled, and cut and buffed. Snapped a quick photo! Installed emblem pic this weekend!

Looks interesting, need to see it on the car. Where is Dada DoEE? I didn't know other places other than the states have Autozone, or did you somehow get a Fairlady Z into the states?

No red wheels. Not trying to color match match my whole car, that's a bit much. Just wanted a subtle touch on the car. Got the car back last night. Post a quick pic later when I have computer access.

Thank you. To be honest I'm kind of having doubts myself. It looks sort of cheap to me. I'm just scared to ruin my paint at this point when removing...
