To Debadge or not
Ok I need an opinion on something and its directly related to Nismo 350z's so i figured this would be the best place to ask it. I purchased an 07 350z about 2 months ago and it came with all kinds of goodies. Nismo Intakes, Nismo Exhaust, 20" Enkei LM's, and full Alpine sound system. I loved everything about this car but there was one thing that kept bugging me. The former owner apparently purchased some nismo badges and put them on the car. The first one went on the back directly under the 350z badge and the other went on the bottom of the front bumper, on the lip where there is a flat surface. This car is not a nismo, but does have nismo parts and the badging is in different places from the real Nismo Z's. So hence I come to my debate, debadge the nismo badges, or just let it be. What do yall think? Would it **** u off as a Nismo owner to see this?
Summary: Car has nismo parts, but its not a nismo. Previous owner threw on nismo badges (put them in other places). Should I debadge or not?

I agree with KingBaby, take the badges off. People don't really care whether you have nismo parts or not. If they do, you can pop the hood and show them.
Only people with civics and lancers put badges on their cars.
Obviously though, it is your car and you should do whatever makes you happy.

+1 I have the Nismo pillow head rest.
Not that I'm not a fan of the badge... I like it but there is too much going on in the back with your hamburger, 350z and Nismo emblem.
The front is meh... I'd rather place it in the engine bay area to go along with your intake.

I left all the Nismo badges on my car (trunk and wheels). I like them and they are stock, so I don't feel like their ricy. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to put more on (like someone said just because you have bridgestone tires and use Mobil 1 doesn't mean you should add the stickers).
I feel that if I ever had to sell the car it looks better to a potential buy with the badges on. Maybe it's just me, but when I see a debadged car I immediately think whoever owns that car has modified something (voiding the warranty) or is very hard on their car (races it), and would stay away as a 2nd hand buyer.
Plus I think the badges break up the solid black, red, silver or what have you.
I also added Nismo license plate frames. Their beefy unlike many of the plastic ones you see and the black and red "NISM" "O" look good against the black/red Nismos IMO
