I'm hoping for Black emblems with the CF backing, did we ever get a pic of that combo from a production run?

I kind of expected this: Considering that this was the cf the chrome ones were originally presented with and the fact that you can't use the emblems without the backing piece I assumed it was the default option. Yes, I know what they say about assumption but here we are. I'm guessing that this was an oversight or simply a miscommunication and that we'll figure it out. I really was excited to get these on the car but c'est la vie. |

Apparently it's not easy, or something you can do with a flathead screwdriver, as the kids who attempted to vandalize/steal mine found out.

Putting the new ones on is going to be a no brainer. It's just some 3M adhesive pads on the back of the emblems. |

Partly why I'm interested in these, I don't have to plasti-dip, and CF back, and will cover up some of the cuts in the plastic behind the emblem.

The worst I ever had happen was one of the local kids dropped his bike into the door of my RX-8. He didn't have rubber handlebar grips so the metal end of his handlebar left a perfect O dented in the side of my door. I nearly fainted when I saw it the next morning but at least that was an accident. What happened to your car is just blatant vandalism! |

I'm glad I didn't see who did it because there would have been dead bodies in my driveway.

The Z store has carbon fiber/silver backed emblems and the regular "Z" emblems but no black ones. They have black pearl for the 350 but not for the 370.
Hopefully, the OP will do a run of black pearl metallic Z front/back emblems because I'm definitely down.

I looked at the ones on the Z store but held off after reading a couple threads where people were disappointed in the fitment. They look like really nice emblems otherwise.

There's a trick with the emblems from the z store. For the sealant to bond, you need to strap it down hard with duct tape (over electric tape) and let it cure for a day or so.
I got two from them. The first one didn't take. 2nd one I was super careful and let it cure for 2 days before removing the tape and it would take an act of god to get it off at this point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anybody get these emblems yet and have pics installed?
I would like to order some as well, but I get no response from EVO-R. Last question; any word on when the Zstore will get them? |
