Like Chuckd, I debadged the 370z on the rear and got the black license plate frame that says "370Z". But I did buy the ZStore rear Z emblem and installed it. I'll post pics at some point (car is at home now because of the snow today).

Getting off the old Nissan hamburger was a bit of a pain. I used a heat gun on low to warm it, and fishing line to get behind it and cut through the tape. It is tough to get the line behind the whole thing, but it worked out after some patient trying.

The ZStore sends you crazy glue to install the emblem. Throw this away and get 3M heavy duty double sided tape. I used a double layer and it worked fine. You do have to nip off the little alignment bumps under the old emblem, but that is fast work with a utility knife.

I like the way it looks now. I plan to paint or overlay my rear valance to enhance the black accent look.

Pics to follow later.
