Default Z emblems??

Hello there fellas
couldn't find what i was looking for by using the search function so here we go.. recently got a new bumper on my gun metallic nismo which means that i had to get a nissan hamburger as well, but now im considering the following emblem: Motorsport! 370Z "Z" Logo Front Emblem, Gloss Black, 09-14 370Z - The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts
what do you guys think? does anybody have these emblems? they offer them in chrome but i think gloss black would look good on the gun metallic, any opinions would be highly appreciated

Have not seen those before until now.
I have these and know many others who have ordered them and liked them. Only downside is there are 2 bumps which these do not hide which is why there is a backplate on them.

These are nice too, only thing I don't like about them is the fact that there is a backplate.. do you mind posting pictures of your car with these (front and back)?

Don't mind, will occur tomorrow as I finally get a chance to install them after of months.
A few friends in Houston have them and they look great, what we did with all of them is the backplate is painted to match the color of the car so you really never see it.

I've got the black chrome ones. I'm 99% sure I got them from Courtesy Nissan. They look great.

Edit- Yep. Courtesy. http://www.courtesyparts.com/370z-pa...9085_9087.html

Here's a picture of my front one. Like Dreamer said, we cut backplates and painted them body color.

can you explain more what you mean by "cut the backplates"? and where did you get the paint from, and how were you able to re-attach the backplate after cutting it?

Paint came from here: 2009 Nissan 370Z Colors of Touch Up Paint
The backplate that comes with the EVO-R emblems is ok but a bit weak so gurneyeagle made different ones. The main thing with these emblems are you have to grind down the 2 bumps so they become smooth.

The ones you linked to are nice and probably do not required any extra work. Just remove the Nissan ones, clean up the glue and put on.

Congrats, it's upside down. Sorry, it's my pet peeve.
