I've had people make comments that having "fairlady" on the back would automatically make people think its a chick driving the car and that it adds femininity, while in japan its normal, the average every day joe here in the states have zero clue of its history.

I'm not a big fan of alot of plastic badging on cars, I've been thinking about taking off the nismo and the 370z off mine.

Debadged mine first week into ownership. That was also back in Jan 2009 when most of the general population weren't even aware of the 370Z's existence. :<>

Leaving the badge on so people "know what I'm driving" seems like a silly reason to keep it on. I have a Nismo though, which is a lot harder to confuse with a 350z (but still happens).

I think the debadged looks great. Personally, I rebadged to "FairladyZ" and it sparks up quite a lot of positive conversation.

I removed mine. I hate how my detailing cloths get caught up in them every time.

when i see a car without badges, makes me think that the car has been in a crash...

MightyBobo · 05-12-2010, 09:25 AM

<-- Debadged.

Leave the 370 and replace the the ugly Nissan badging with a chromed black Z, that's what I'd like to do.

I wish I could find someone who made a good replacement.

I had the same idea, I've only seen those chromed black circle emblems also. I think it would look really clean, esp because I have magentic Black!

Still trying to decide if I want to go through with it....
