Start the sales! I would imagine an initial run of 100 would sell out instantly. Easily see 1000 of these going fairly quickly.

Count me in!!

I would recommend that these badges be drilled and tapped out in the back to allow for two mounting bolts to secure them to the bumper. Would deter theft and reduce the chance of vibration shaking loose a relatively heavy badge from a tape only mount.

Hope you guys are working out some sort of licensing as this could get ugly.

It's not really that... I mean, if Nissan went after them it's not like they don't have a legitimate claim... Just want to make sure our guys are covered and work out a selling agreement with Nissan instead of just taking a chance...

m4, im not saying you're wrong. In fact, you are completely right and i agree w you....it's just that theoretically, this emblem makes the z owners happy. I dont think nissan should sue when these members are making their clients content for something that nissan was not able to produce. The way corporates think is just very straight forward: to make a quick buck or two, instead of seeing the bigger picture of everyone being happy. All i'm saying is that it's unfortunate that the system had to turn out the way it did. Anyway sorry to go off topic. I won't post about this anymore.

That's exactly what I was gonna do when we put it on. lol....I've had enough $100 emblems stolen too many times. But then again, I guess you can't really stop someone from leaving a pry mark on your bumper for trying.....

If I could hook it up to the battery to tase someone trying to steal, the better.

The letter "Z" cannot be trademarked. The stylized version we use in the badge may be construed as a copyrighted logo, however, we have not used it in a manner that would damage the holders original intention, to identify a 370Z. If we placed it on a Honda.... different story!

In the end, the 370Z is still being represented by a factory stylized "Z" similar to the steering wheel logo. I see no court in the world that would convict us for this emblem for this specific use!

Build on! And make mine a front and rear order!!

As a foot note, it IS possible to wire the logo up to a capacitor that would detect finger touches (change in capacitance) and have that wired to the cars alarm sytem when armed... just a thought.

HAHA, you're AWESOME! I hope you're right.

About the car alarm thing, sorry to ask questions like an engineer....depending on the sensitivity level of the current wouldn't we now have to constantly worry about the car going off whenever it rains or mist touches it? Or worst, blow something out if something unforeseeable that can cause this system go haywire? Just a thought but am very interested in this idea...hehehe. Gotta love creative people like you.
