black chrome badges

Gold door handles!

Also guys, I just sent courtesy parts an email asking if they will ever do a correct Z logo replacement (with the 370 Z vs the 350 style Z) for the front or rear badge.. If you look at their site at these black chrome badges, it says they are made by "Courtesy Emblems", so it sounds like they are made in house.. If I hear anything back I'll let you all know..

Awesome, I was wondering that same thing!

You guys know you can probably make your own black chrome emblems right?

sorry for slacking.. got the front one on..

I wonder if it would look better if you got a paint can and filled in the letters maybe?

Naw, at a distance the color of the lettering look perfect. I wonder how these would look on PG

I dunno, I think filling them in would be cool, or maybe it's just the dismal lighting?

I think the one on the front of the car looks much better..like it!

How hard was it to install these? Did it come with instructions/do you have a DIY? I've never replaced emblems before, but I think this looks great!

its really easy.. let the car sit in the sun or warm the emblems up with hairdrier.. they are held on by 3m tape, the softer that stuff gets the easier it is to remove.. use a plastic scraper or something that wont scratch to help pry the stock emblems off..

Then just get rid of all the leftover tape residue (goo gone etc) and wipe the area with alcohol before you stick the new ones on...

That seems exceptionally easy for something they are claiming you need a professional to install.

It costs too much. That's why I won't buy a set. It would look good on my Monterey blue.
