Rear 370Z Emblem Removal or Replacement?
 
I just got done detailing the Z, and I personally dislike the 370Z emblem as it is the only item on the car that sticks out as it does, therefor its time on the car might be drawing short. What are others going to do?

I have the fairlady on my 350 now, and I'm sure will continue with the 370. It strikes a lot of conversation, and makes my car a proper lady :D

The issue with the front and rear Nissan emblems is that they are set into a molded depression that's about 1/8" deep. I've found a solid "Z" emblem, but they do not yet have it for the rear emblem.

Do they also have guide holes?

I cannot view the area behind the fascia so I cannot tell, but there is full tape around the rear of each emblem so I am thinking there are probably no holes.

Have you done this before, de-badged?

I kinda like it. So, I voted "keeping it".

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

You don't even need the hair dryer if you're doing it in phoenix summer, just leave the car in the sun for a couple hours :D

Plan on removing the 370Z and Nissan. Replacing the Nissan with this once 370ZSource sells it:

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.
