Default Finally Shaved the Badges

A soon to be ex-family member backed his truck into my Z. Ouch! While she was at the body shop, I had the infamous Nissan hamburgers removed and the windows tinted. Since they were already mixing paint, they only charged me 4 hours ($180) to fill them in! The difference was very dramatic.

I love it!!!

$180, not bad at all. Looks like getting backed into worked out just fine

Thumbs up

I don't know whether to rep you for the soon to be ex-family member or shaving your burgers. Either way = rep point.

The soon to be EX-family member is a P.O.S. I thought i was going to have to take him to court to get paid for the damage to the car. It wasn't major damage; scuffed the paint on the bumper cover and hood; about $850. He was refusing to give me his insurance info and wanted to "negotiate" the damage charges with the body shop. Oh well, I got paid...

The 370 logo looks awkward by itself on the back now...

To me it looks like taking the 370z badge off would look good too. What do you guys think?

That looks awesome and I think I like the 370z badge by itself. Very nice.

The Fox in the passenger seat is my beautiful wife of 17 years. If you ask her, she'll tell you she bought me the Z for my birthday, but somehow I still ended up writing the check...How do women do that??????

I agree, also change out the license plate frame to a plain black one would finish the total debadging.
