It's probably a matter of taste. Looks too "girly" for me though. Probably the Japanese Z owners are changing theirs to 350Z & swapping them as well.

I have to agree with mc...I don't think its girly at all, my only concern was would it seem stupid to most people who didnt know its the cars real name.

There's a reason they didn't market the car here in the U.S. as "FairladyZ" IMHO. Good luck trying to sell a sports car in the states to men with the word "lady" in the name.

I think it the badge should belong on JDM Z's....kinda looks funny on our Z's cuz most people in US don't know what a Fairlady is anyways and will be like..."What's a FairladyZ?"...or like "Whats that?"...which would get annoying after a while....just my thoughts.....

i got it on my car and i like it. it is kind of funny though to see the people in the car behind me in my rear view mirror looking puzzled and lipping "fairlady z".

some people ask me if the fairlady z is a special model.

Half the people I come across do not know it's a Nissan. Or what the hell Nismo means. So why not change the 350Z badge to Fairlady Z? It just adds a difference to me.

I like the Fairlady Z emblem, i'm probably going to just do a 'Z' from the 350Z emblem on the left rear. I use the trial-and-error method, just try different things, if you don't like it, you can always change it. (as far as emblems go)

just put it on...looks better then 350z imo, it seems to "fit" more and gave it a cleaner classy look...

If you like the look, go for it. So what if it has the word "lady" in it, geez.

Yeah seriously... i don't see what the big deal is with having "lady" in it... seriously. Plus you bought it, you must've liked it enough to buy it right? Use it

Bat?

I saw someone with that on their car... I dont quite remember where the picture was, but it looked like you could just use the Z and two of the 3's from the 350Z badge (well you'd need two badges of course).

No one call sports car as "he".
All the great sports cars have their own girl name. I think Fairlady Z fits well.
Think about it. Most of sports car owners are guys.
so you (as a boy) rides a nice sports car (as a girl).

DO YOU REALLY WANNA RIDE AND HAVE PLEASURE IN "IRONMAN Z" or "GENTLEMAN Z"?
I prefre fairlady Z.
I'm a straight man who like sports cars.
