Front and Rear Z Emblem???
 
I remember seeing people installing this. How do you guys like it?
Also was it hard to install? How do you install?
Got some pix?!

Is this the right link to buy it?

The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts: Rear "Z" Emblem, Carbon Fiber Base, 09-10 370Z

z emblem for the rear would be overkill. Would look odd especially if you still have the 370Z emblems.

Sticks on with double sided tape.

I feel as if the Z emblems gets a little Z redundant ... I got a black license plate frame that said 370z so I took off my 370z emblem.. no need for Zs all over the place or 370z in 2-3-4 different spots in my opinion... same with "nismo"

I think it will look better on after market bumpers

I made my own -- not the cf, tho'. Those got pretty negative reviews. I made my own silver base emblems.

Pics are in my album.

Be very careful removing the factory emblems -- very easy to scuff the paint!

My many Z's are clearly overkill, but I love 'em :D

Like Chuckd, I debadged the 370z on the rear and got the black license plate frame that says "370Z". But I did buy the ZStore rear Z emblem and installed it. I'll post pics at some point (car is at home now because of the snow today).

Getting off the old Nissan hamburger was a bit of a pain. I used a heat gun on low to warm it, and fishing line to get behind it and cut through the tape. It is tough to get the line behind the whole thing, but it worked out after some patient trying.

The ZStore sends you crazy glue to install the emblem. Throw this away and get 3M heavy duty double sided tape. I used a double layer and it worked fine. You do have to nip off the little alignment bumps under the old emblem, but that is fast work with a utility knife.

I like the way it looks now. I plan to paint or overlay my rear valance to enhance the black accent look.

Pics to follow later.

I like mine.
I left the rear alone (enough Z's back there already), but swapped out the Nissan logo on the front. I also went with plain chrome license plate frames.

I love mine took them apart and had a local bodyshop paint them (20 bucks and color matched) front and back. Also debadged the 370z on the back.

They look great with black Z.

They looks really good in black... hmmm. Kind of makes me want to do that too...

OK, I know I promised pics a long time ago, but the Z was either dirty or covered in snow. So here is the debadged with Z-store emblem plus 370Z license plate frame combo:

I've got these from the Z store front and rear, never installed they're just sitting in a bag. I've now got the amuse kit so i will not be installing these. I paid $80 per but make me a reasonable offer and they're yours...:tiphat:
