Rear 370Z Emblem Removal or Replacement?

ltp · 03-02-2009, 11:20 PM

I used dental floss to remove the "370 Z" emblem by seesawing the floss through the emblem at the angle with least glue surface. The dental floss has wax which makes it easy to cut across the emblem’s glue and preventing it from scratching the paint. I also wet the floss with Goo Gone to make it even easier to slice it through the glue. Once the emblem is removed, I removed the bottom glue layer by slowly rolling off the glue with my finger or cotton towel from one end to the other end. Then I used Goo Gone to clean up whatever left over. This took me only 15 minutes. I have not tried to remove the “Nissan” emblem because it may have holes and waiting for the Z logo to replace it with. I hope this helps.

This site sells a black pearl 370z logo. Since my car is black i am thinking about putting it in the place of the 370z silver.

But as a detailer its one more weird thing in my way that towls stick to.

Im undecided right now wich is better.

I also want to replace the nissan hamburger with a black chrome/pearl Z.

I have been thinking about just removing 370, keeping the Z. I want to replace the nissan badges when something comes out also.

If you guys use goo gone to remove anything off the car, make sure you wash it and reseal that part with wax.

CWJ,
that looks really nice.
Did you reuse the "Z"? what kind of "foam tape" did you use?

is there anything else to use other than goo gone? something maybe not as abrasive?

i want to swap out my badge for the fairlady z one (yeah i'm a dork for the japanese car names), but i don't want to do any damage while i'm at it..

cwj370 · 05-24-2009, 08:04 AM

Yes, I just reused the Z. I think its 3m auto tape. I actually like the car better without the Z, but I scratched the car with my fingernail, taking it off. So if you are going to remove any of the emblems use the fishing line and no nails!!!

I would like to Relace the front and rear hamburger with the same design, same size/shape that says "Datsun." Bring the old school back.....

Sounds like a photoshop is in order.

So does anyone know if there are any replacements for the rear Nissan hamburger yet? I replaced the front emblem with the 350z (z with 3 squares in the center portion of the Z), however, can not find an emblem that fits correctly for the rear Nissan hamburger.
