PLEASE help me make my mind up

Gratters · 09-26-2015, 01:10 AM

Have just bought a 370Z Nismo in Ebisu Black - I'm in a hurry to get the Nissan front and rear badges off of it and replace it with a 'Z' badge - but I'm torn between the two options :-

So I'm going to go with what other forum members think best as I've talked myself in and out of both !!

So which one would you go for ....

370z JDM Black Textured Premium Z logo emblem front & rear badge set | eBay

or

2X 370Z HIGH GLOSS BLACK FRONT + REAR Z LOGO EMBLEM BADGE 370 Z FAIRLADY BODYKIT | eBay

I think I've ruled the next one out but interested in opinions

2x 370Z FRONT + REAR CHROME Z LOGO BADGE EMBLEM FOR 370Z 370 Z FAIRLADY 370 Z GT | eBay

So 1, 2 or 3 guys/gals .....

Cheers

2nd item presented. What color wheels do you have. Will need to paint the handles if it isn't black.

I vote #1 as the silver and black will match the wheels and the door handles so you don't have to paint them.

Very nice. Congrats.

If I had that Z, I'd murder it out. Black handles, paint the wheels, nice tint, and let the red pieces stand out. Lower the car and push out the wheels a little. That would be bad ***.

nooooooooooooo - its evenly split - now my head really hurts !

axmea? - you're not helping ! :-)

alcheng · 09-26-2015, 04:32 PM

1st one looks like an oil-cap or side-marker.... thus out

3rd one looks like a door handle and the whole shiny finish makes it looks kinda cheap... out

2nd one has both matt and shiny finish, matt black makes the emblem low key and the shiny gunmetal "Z" makes it stand out but not too much, perfect match to your black NISMO.

kenchan · 09-26-2015, 07:22 PM

no

no

no

just don't get in a hurry removing factory emblems,,,they are glued on pretty dang good.(heat gun help's)
and you may have to trim some plastic to make them sit flat.

jchammond · 09-26-2015, 07:53 PM

I guess I'm partial to #1 ; because they take a fender emblem & bond it to a base.

I don't like any of them personally, but if you really have to change them, I'm with Hammond up there for the same reason.

BoneZ · 09-26-2015, 08:09 PM

...mostly because Nissan seems to be excessively proud of that "Z" and it's already plastered all over this car enough imo.
