I went sorta badgeless. moved the z logo, kept the burger. Mines the black one in the middle. The roadster next to me has the dark chrome ones.

I bought my black 370z used with all the badges shaved and hated it. I've since got the front Nissan badge back as well as the 370z badge on the rear. Still need to replace the Nissan badge back there because it looks goofy without it.

I've since plasti-dipped all the badges and door handles. My advice is plasti-dip. It's inexpensive and easy to undo if you don't like it.

I went with plasti dip and i really liked it. If you dont you can take it off in 2 minutes

SurfDog · 09-24-2012, 12:19 PM

Looking for opinion? I like black (plastidip)

coltrain · 09-24-2012, 12:47 PM

If you take the badges off, you'll have an odd negative space where the badge used to be...

imwazn · 09-24-2012, 12:52 PM

I like the shaved look on the front and blacked out on the back personally. I haven't done it, but it looks good. Also, I plasti-dipped mine and they look really good.

You realize that you can simply get a new set of emblems if you have your painted and you don't like them right? Same goes for if you remove them completely, but if you fill in the badge molds then that could be a problem.

henryy370z · 09-24-2012, 04:23 PM

plasti dip finally decide i think it looks clean all black

bldg636 · 09-24-2012, 09:21 PM

Sorry to make this my first post, but just got an '11 black 370z yesterday. I'd love to black out the emblems. Where can you order this "plasti dip", and is it easy to do yourself? Also, what is the easiest way to remove the badges without doing any damage?

Thanks in advance guys!
