My New Emblems

370z1 · 04-03-2011, 06:34 PM

Hello daisuke149,
I really like your pic's of your fairlady Z emblem and the paint mod, color contrast looks good. I am sure after you got that extra adhesive removed around the emblem it cleaned up nice. Also the exhaust looks perfect...
I added my emblem a couple weeks ago to the stillen front facia and it required a little extra tweak. Sorry I don't have any "Do it Yourself type close up pics". To install it, I had to get around these two things which took about 30 minutes. The first was that bumper was too sloped compared to the flat metal emblem which caused gaps at the ends. To get the emblem to follow the contour I had to make a couple soft bends in a couple equally measured spots.
The second thing was the 3 mounting studs coming off the emblem and the little metal hook like sleeves that slip over the posts which didn't bite/hold very strong. It's not that they were loose but they didn't snap into place sort of speak (a depth thing not a width thing). The thin metal sleeves come with two fish hook like spikes, and at first I thought they were just there to make a wedge like fitt, but then realized they would have worked with the stock bumper, but the stillen facia is a little thicker, (maybe a sixteenth). So to resolve this I just had to shorten the hook points by that amount and bend them out a little. After that they clicked into place, then added adhesive and the emblem made a secure fit.

yup sorry. they didnt have em at the local dealer. Im gonna get em this week. Prolly do sets of 3 and see if people are interested.

Guys got alot of stuff to do at one time, which saves him time and cost so gonna see if that can translate into slightly cheaper emblems too.

Very interested.

daisuke149 · 05-07-2011, 04:34 PM

Alright Guys, sorry it took me a bit. Been a bit busier the last few weeks.

We'd be looking at around 60-65$ per emblem.

So what is avail is:

Nissan Front Burger Emblem
Nissan Rear burger Emblem
Nissan Fairlady Z emblem

We can go a shade or 2 darker/lighter.

I havnt checked into the NISMO or the 370Z yet but will do so on Monday.

All the emblems are NEW OEM emblems so they will have the OEM 3M tape.

Bump for pricing. Don't forget the NIsmo emblem

Best ways are leave it out in the hot sun for a few hours (or use a heat gun on somewhat low heat) Then use a very thing nylon stype line (alot of people use fishing line) and slowly to back and forth behind the emblem (like flossing) Eventually when it is off, you will need to clear the area of any remaining goo (use whatever product you normally use, everyone recommends different ones)

But yes they are 3m double sided taped. No screws.

oh wow I never knew I can do something like that to remove it haha!
really nice

Thank You !
