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.
Hopefully you are right. And perhaps Nissan won't even care, and may perceive it as free advertising. But it should be checked out. At least I would if I was selling this type of stuff. I hope it all works out, I would buy these badges. Nice work.
