In the end, the 370Z is still being represented by a factory stylized "Z" similar to the steering wheel logo. I see no court in the world that would convict us for this emblem for this specific use!
Build on! And make mine a front and rear order!!
As a foot note, it IS possible to wire the logo up to a capacitor that would detect finger touches (change in capacitance) and have that wired to the cars alarm sytem when armed... just a thought.  |
Whether or not we use it in the way the manufacturer intended doesn't matter. You could slap it on your *** for all they care.
The bottom line is producing this
for sale is infringment of intellectual property and can result in some big legal trouble if you don't go through the proper channels to work out a licensing agreement.
I just want to make sure our guys cover their bases before putting these things up for sale.
