Fairlady Z Badge

Diversion · 05-11-2009, 03:18 PM

Hmm, I'm going to e-mail the Z store to see if the emblem is for thr 370Z model and not the 350Z.. I'm sure they are slightly different to accomodate the different angle of the rear end?

Thought it was interesting that in Japan they are probably making a killing selling the USA badges.. Pricing looks to be about $45 for a "370Z" badge so we're all paying about the same amount.

I would be more inclined to think that some sort of chemical used, maybe when washing the car, caused this to happen.

Not saying you did anything wrong frost, but this is what they stated.

Yeah, my neighbor told me washing the car in acid and bleach wasn't a good idea, I just wouldn't listen to him

On a serious note, I wash the car every other week with a name brand soap in soft water. Before I was going to let it slide, but this response from them has me a little upset.

I would demand an exchange, Frost and see if they stand for their company.

^ The wife just Emailed them. So I'll keep you updated on how they handle the situation.

I just received my FairladyZ badge in the mail today... it does indeed come in Nissan OEM packaging.. I cross referenced the item number (i'm at work right now, no pics/info) on the web for a brief moment while I was still at home and the badge is INDEED for a 370Z (Z34) and it is NOT the FairladyZ badge from the 350 (Z33).

That being said, this is good news.. it's an OEM badge straight off the JDM Fairlady for those worried about the emblem not being OEM or from the 350Z variant.

I'll take pictures of the packaging in a bit.

I've done my share of "modifying aesthetically" on other cars...so w/ the lil experience i would say no, just because now i just love clean stock car.
