I'm trying to keep the costs of production as low as possible but they'll probably sell for about $80.00 for a set. Comments welcome. This will only get done if ten people will be willing to purchase them.

something in chrome would match the G35 emblems better.

...just wanted to say that I purchased the emblems from Greg on Thursday and he shipped same day and I got them today. I must admit, the Z had some minor nicks and scratches, but I will not be using it. For some reason I was also under the impression that these were chrome, but it turns out they are plastic. Don't get me wrong, they still look good

They also come with very detailed instructions

The emblems are resin cast, not massed produced injection molded, and lacquer painted; this is because it more closely matches the color of the OEM 350Z emblem than it would if it had been vacuum-metallized chrome plated. I hope you are satisfied with the emblem. If not, I'll gladly buy it back no questions asked.

I'm going to try it out. I will have a cf trunk completely shaved so this will go on that. Should look good...if I don't like it, it's my loss. Would you be able to make a chrome version for the G guys?

^^Thanks Greg, but it looks like the enthusiasm on the g35 forum isn't that great. I'm a little concerned how the plastic will look on my car, but it's worth a shot. I'll keep a lookout on the g35 forum for the twin turbo or 3.5TT emblems, but for now this will have to do. Is it possible to take it off and resell it or will the double sided tape be "ruined" so to speak after it's removed?

Save the mounting jig though if you decide to try and resell it, that way even if the tabs break someone can still re-apply it to another vehicle.

Anything produced for the Infinitis will definitely be vacuum-metallized chrome plated. That process adds a bit to the cost of the emblem but it's certainly do-able.
