Does the Z emblem on the side actually light up when u hit your turn signal? That seems like something you would expect on a 1985 trans am... not a 370z..........

Yes, it's a euro gig, but looks so good in real-life!

85 trans am? Yeah, I know what you mean, those 80s american cars have turn signals on the side all the time. :rolleyes:

It actually looks pretty good IMO. I personally think the oval should've been a little bigger. It looks way small considering the big fender.

Really? I think they should have done away with a side marker on the front fender. They should have integrated the blinker into the side view mirror if they really wanted a side facing blinker. I think it'd look a lot cleaner that way.

I like the fact that other vehicles can easily see this marker flashing. I do like the mirror integrated turn signals, but this side marker reads better on the road.

Yeah... I can't wait to shave those markers off. Along with all the Nissan and 370z badges.

not to get off of subject, but on the shaving aspect, any one have any ideas what to do about the Nissan logo on the back bumper? other than buying a new bumper?

According to the service manual the emblem comes off.

Some type of body filler/fiber glassing will need to be used to fill the hole, I'm not sure which method will be the best but I plan on asking some local body guys.

I have to get a little painting done anyway, I wonder how much extra it would be to shave the front and rear emblem. It's not that I don't like the nissan logo, they are just ... big

I really get confused at questions like this. I mean did you not do any research before your purchase. :confused:

I would expect to see a side signal on any car made from this point forward, which should have been required years ago.

^agreed

I thought the side signal was a part of the headlight in my 350z....maybe im mistaken...

Probably depends on if you can get away with paint matching just the logo area or if a full body panel repaint/clear coat is needed to match.

I don't mind Nissan logos I just think this car will look fantastic de-badged.
