Default Replacement 350Z Badge

Like others, the lower portion of "Z" in the 350Z rear emblem snapped off, leaving me with a 7. I searched some sites and the forum and had a difficult time trying to find a replacement badge.

I've tried:
- Courtesy Nissan - Surprised to not see a direct replacement, as they have every other emblem option.

- Performance Nissan (mynismo.com) - Wasn't shown to be offered
- The Z Store website - Sold it for $33.95, not bad however shipping is $43.96 (least costly shipping offered) = $77.91 total, shipped to Hawaii.
- Nismo Shop website - Wasn't shown to be offered
- Nismo Parts website - Wasn't shown to be offered

I did find it on eBay for about $40. Seems like I either go with eBay, the dealership parts center or pay $77.91. Am I missing something? Seems like the JDM FairladyZ badge is more available than the stock repalcement. I'll see what the Nissan Parts Center quotes me. Any other websites I could buy it from??

Are you talking about the 350Z emblem on the outside hatch or the Z emblem on the strut bar in the back?
I'm almost 100% certain it comes as a whole so you'd have to get this. Should be cheaper than all those other prices you stated, even with shipping to Hawaii.

Naut, I'm looking for the "350Z" on the rear hatch. Thanks for the link, however I've seen that emblem, as well as the Pearl Black one on Courtesy Nissan's site. Both are not original OEM and from what I've read about the aftermarket Chrome Fairlady Z badge, it fades and turns yellow.

mike_eee, Thanks for the offer, but I'm looking for the "Z" if anything

SuperBlack350z, OEM?

Thank you SuperBlack350z and JZ33 for your generous offers. I eventually ended up going down to the dealership where they had one in stock and gave me $11, off. Which leaves me paying about the same if I were to buy it off ebay (including shipping), $41. It sounds steep, but this badge is not the easiest to come by and is typically sold starting at $35, without shipping.

I did however contact Performance Nissan and Courtesy Parts and have the following info:

- Courtesy Parts - They do have the OEM replacement badge in stock as part number 84895-CD10A at $41.47, not including shipping.

- Performance Nissan - They have a separate site for OEM parts at performancenissanfactoryparts.com. There, enter your car year info and do a search. On the left column, the 350Z badge is under Lift Gate --> Exterior Trim --> Nameplate. The badge is called a "nameplate" in this website. It's sold for $38.30, not including shipping.

- It's also offered on ebay as a Buy It Now deal, if you have a paypal account, for $30 something.

It's more available than I thought, just hard initially to search out. Since no other thread really addresses the difficulty, hopefully this thread helps others.
