Default Side emblem question

Hey all,
I got my 350 in August and everything has been wonderful until now. Some scumbag ripped off my side emblem somehow. I am considering buying the 370 side emblems instead. Are they the same size as the 350? Thanks

I think to install the 370Z emblems requires cutting a hole almost as big as the indentation on the side of the Z. It can be done but it does require some metal cutting. Here is link to a write up done several years ago. Detailed instructions are on page two. https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-an...tall-pics.html

It actually says this in OP's link. He was obviously too lazy to read the info.

I actually cut into my fenders and made a hole for the 370z side marker. It does look better in my opinion. And it is functional vs the plastic one that the 350z has. Email me at alex13j1993@gmail.com for detailed pics. It is really easy. I would say take your time and use a dremel or a hole saw. I chose the dremel becuase it was fairly easy to use and I wouldn't take the chance of it jumping and messing up the paint. It was a test fender that I did the work on before I touch my Z. But on my first try it came out perfect.
