Z Badges
 

Just curious if anyone has a set of these. If so how are they?

NISSAN 370Z Z LOGO BADGE EMBLEM FAIRLADY 370Z 350Z NISMO Z34 370 Z 350 | eBay

Never seen those. The satin is a good look.

But I like these better.

idk..OPs look really good. I love the satin finish, and evo-r doesn't have matte/satin yet I don't think.

Those are very sharp as well.

I kind of like these in the satin finish. I like the Evo-R emblems, but I'm waiting to see what it looks like on the car. I was kind of afraid the "Z" might be too large.

those are pretty nice :D

I like the satin one too.. but I'm waiting to see what the evor looks like on somebody car. Post pictures if you get this one!

I like these better since they wont require backing plates

^ I agree. I ordered a set of these and will post pics when they come in.

:tup:

Please do. I am going to order a set as well. Shipping will take 3 weeks or so.

Yes pictures please as soon as you get it! :)

Picking up one for the front, thx for the heads up OP :tiphat:

In for pics :)

These look kinda...cheap. I dunno. Certainly no offense intended but I'm gonna go with the EVO-R emblems

Just do it yourself! Im in between coats right now:

Added a couple more coats to make them darker.

I got them in last week. They look great on and no need to shave down under the original emblems. Will post pics.

Thanks Cuse. Just ordered front/rear in chrome :) I like the smaller Z (other is too big), not having to shave down beneath the emblem and that it covers the bumper holes. Did you find an easy way to get the emblem off? On my 350z I stuck a small screwdriver under the side to start it but I now have one of those plastic removal tools so I'll try that first.

Just make sure its heated a little bit. Either let it bake in the sun or heat gun. I used a blow dryer but it took forever lol

Yep, I used the hairdryer on my 350z as well. I'm gonna heat it for 60 seconds and then use the plastic removal too to start prying it off from the side.

Should work perfectly!

I like the satin pieces on eBay too. I know I can search for this but how hard are these to swap. Are they just held on with 3M tape and do the replacement ones just stick on?
Would like to see pics before I order! :tiphat:

To get off the original emblem I got finishing line (or dental floss) and folded it over a couple times to make it thicker. I then heated the emblem with a hairdryer for about 15 seconds. I fed the fishing line under the side of the emblem and, in a saw like motion, went back and forth with the fishing line. It peeled away the emblem very easily. You may need to heat intermittently. Hope this helps.

Sorry for delay with pics. I've been getting home too late. I'll try and get them up tomorrow.

My '09 needed a hairdryer to soften up the emblems to get them off. My '12 I just popped them right off with a small screwdriver wrapped in electric tape and they came right up.

Subd for pics

Posted these elsewhere but these are the gloss black/carbon fiber backing EVO-R emblems:

Well I ran out today for a minute to finally post pics of this emblem. I liked the CF backing I've been seeing on different threads so I did my own backing with CF vinyl. It actually looks really sharp in person on a black Z. I hope this helps people. And please excuse the filth....it's been raining a lot in Florida.

EVO-R's look better. IMO.

These are a little stealthier I guess. Look like Nissan badges until you get close.

I thought about EVO's but when I saw it on some cars the Z looked to big for my liking.

Yeah I liked how it looked more like the nissan badge. Almost like it's from factory.

I like Cuse badges better as these are more subtle.
Do these badges require backing plate?
or can you fit the badges without backing plate?
how is the fitment on these badges?

Also can you post any clearer photos of these badges installed showing full front end and back end of car in similar viewing angles as shown by dmhenderson in his photos please.

No backing required.

I'll get better pics today. I took those with my phone earlier. The fitment is perfect and like I previously posted, no need to shave down the nubs under the factory emblem. They were cut to fit the car. They came with 3M tape already applied. It was just peel and stick. Looks great in person.

Thanks Cuse, I ordered the front only in satin after hearing some dissatisfaction with EvoR pieces. Post more pics if you can. :tiphat:

Just FYI - there's nothing wrong with the *carbon* backings on the evo-r badges. Confirmed by the shop my car is currently at. It's misleading because there's what appears to be a piece of white tagboard but it's some sort of 3m backing film.

The matte emblems have "issues" though and they're taking care of that.
