Just watch those microfiber towels around the emblem as they seem to like the threads.

Aren't the front and rear emblems the same size? I would love to replace both Nissan badges on my ride with these...

Here's a shot of the 370 rear emblem laid over thebackside of the larger "Z" front one. (The red is the 3M sticky tape) You can see the front is fractionally larger. I'm thinking the larger will rest flush on the bumper, rather than being recessed like stock. I'm about to try this when my car comes back from the body shop with a new rear bumper (minus the emblem mounted). If it's not quite big enough to stick around the edges, I've already cut a 1/8" filler piece to mount in the recess and it will stick to that. I'll do an update on this when the car is back.





Here's the "Z" on the front for reference:

The 09 could be entirely different from the 350Z. I'd start with a little below medium, and judge from there. You don't want to heat damage your paint.
You could pm SoCal 370Z, and see if he removed his.

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.
