I love these emblems I picked up on ebay from Taiwan. They match the z fender emblems perfectly...looks like my z came from the factory with them.

I have a related Q. I'm getting similar work done. Why, exactly, do I need to buy new badges? Can you not re-apply the ones already on there?

I would really like to get these, how difficult was the process of removing the Nissan hamburger and replacing it with the Z emblems?

Well you could re-apply them but they will look like they were re-used since they have to use some type of glue to stick them back

I just got a plastic spatula from Lowe's, took my time and the hamburgers popped right off. I did put some tape along the edges of the indentation where the logos fit, to make sure I didn't scratch the paint. It's just double sided tape that holds the hamburgers on. I just worked my way around the hamburgers carefully to loosen up the tape and they came off easy.

The Z emblems are really nice. I was a bit apprehensive since they are from Taiwan, but the quality is great and they do match the fender emblems perfectly.

Oh I didn't know the hamburgers were double sided tape just like the 370z, thought they were different, also is the Z the same size as the hamburger? because I thought that there is already some marks on the bumper that is pre-located for the hamburger to fit in

The Z's are the exact same size as the hamburgers...they fit right into the indentations made for the hamburgers.
