I've been thinking about ordering them, just want to make sure you can see the lights with the overlays on. Thanks,

Hey, bob, here is another picture with the tail light on at night!
Just got done washing my car.
hmmm... it's a little fuzy, I tried to take it without the flash.

Jsn350Z ~ I would, but I don't have anything that is Nismo except the shift ****, I don't know if I want to flaunt it so much? but good ideas tho.

Westpak ~ I know exactly what you are saying, but when I compare the size on both emblem, I rather have something that is a little bit small and that is a lot easier to flush against the body. And it adds a little more uniqueness to it

Personally, I dont like that new Rear Z emblem you put on there at all. I would just take it off entirely and have the holes filled. Too many Z's on back for sure.

I thought it about that as well, just fill it up and leave it blank, but that would means that I have to repaint the whold hatch, and that would be costing. maybe later on down the road, but I have to start saving money for TT
I'm just trying to be more cost effecient. but it a way, I kind of like the emblem. It's small and flush really well against the hatch. But I know, that is a lot of Zs!!! I have figure out some way to eliminate one or 2 of them.

"I have figure out some way to eliminate one or 2 of them."

As I said before, get rid of the fairlady Z all together, and change out the Z plate to a Nismo plate.

I have the Z circle and the JDM badge on the back... simply take off the Z from the FairladyZ and you'll look good.

IMHO is looks better without the badge at all. And then a Nismo LP frame since up close you could still see the darkend "Z"

But that's me.

It's the Bat's overlay. I thought it came in one piece, but when I receive them, it was in 2 piece. It's kind of good that it came in 2 piece, so that it help to fit the curve at the end of the light. and the seam actually line up with the seam that's on the body. If it was one piece, it would of been a lot of headache stretching the overlay to fit right.

If you decide to just remove the 'Z' from the fairladyZ emblem I'd like to buy it off you.

thanks,
Rajiv

Hmmmmm... I have to really think about that. I just gave away my backup one to my friend, so I won't able to get them for free anymore. (long story) I will let y'all know. But so far I'm really going toward taking the jdm emblem off right now. I'm going to check with the body shop about filling those 2 holes, and see if they could do that without re-painting the whole bumper, if that is possible, than I will keep the jdm emblem after all.
