Hey, check out what I'm making...

I'll have one for the front and rear

I'll post pics once their completed and mounted. Should mount up perfectly...

To do this you need:

Z33 JDM emblems x 2

Dremel

Steady hands (admittedly, I had a buddy of mine who is more artistic than me assist with some of this...)

Z34 sidemarkers x 2

Some thin black plastic

3M emblem adhesive

Interesting!!

Basically this will result in EXACTLY the same as the silver-base emblems you can buy for like $130 each (for only about $55 each in materials!), I'm just DIYing it.

Should look just as good/awful depending on your point of view

Ok, I guess I'm a dullard. I don't get what you're doing. I'm not being a jerk, my brain just can't figure it out.

1. Purchase a set of JDM Z33 badges

2. Purchase a set of Z34 side markers.

3. Fire up the dremel. Carefully cut out the back of the Z33 emblems. The center circular piece with the Z logo is glued to the outer ring. Gently push this out in order to separate it from the outer ring -- you have to cut out the back first in order to push out the center piece (hollow on inside).

4. Dremel again. carefully chop off the back of the sidemarker, leaving the front circular part of the Z intact. Clean up any odd bits stuck inside the tinted lens of the marker. This separates the sidemarker from the rest of the assembly. Has to be cut -- don't see any other way to separate the circular marker from the rest.

5. Glue modified sidemarker circular piece to the outer ring of the Z33 badge.

6. Cut out a piece of black plastic and affix to the back of the new assembled badge with glue. This will keep your car's paint from being visible through the lens of the side marker.

7. Glue the new emblem to your car after removing the hamburger. Should fit perfectly in the grooves on front bumper, but will just cover up the grooved section on rear bumper (rear hamburger is a bit smaller for whatever reason).

8. Enjoy the new emblem and the kudos by fans; endure the mockery of haters

See image below for reference.

Right but what is up with them going on the front and rear

frost · 11-28-2010, 10:13 AM

Can't wait to see them mounted, but like they say in the movies ... "I've got a bad feeling about this!"

Dark_Sub_Rosa · 11-28-2010, 10:51 AM

Now that I don't know.
