Ruddles Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Got my new carbon front Z badge last night shipped from good ol' U.S of A, used the techniques found on here to get the old nissan badge and sticky foam off (what a nightmare the foam is). Very pleased with the product and looks awesome, only after I got home from work today, there's a slight chip/crack at the top of it . Have no idea what's caused this, could be a stress crack but more than likely a stone or ROCK has flown up and hit it...just my luck! Only thing that's relieving is that there's no paintwork damage!

ATTAK Z Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 IMO carbon is always a problem ........... never makes you happy Quote
Tay Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 looks good, i take it the photo's are before the crack appeared cause i can't spot it in the photo's. have you changed the badge at the back of the car too? Quote
buster Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 gives me and idea........i wonder if the wing badge fits in the burger if the centre bar is removed Quote

Thanks, I don't rush into these thing! In the second pic the crack/chip is at the very top edge of the badge, minimal, but once you notice it...it's ALWAYS there! Rubbed a small amount of super glue on it invisible up close, but has kept it all together no white marks No the rear badge is still Nissan at the moment, I'm considering a TK badge! I really like that... Cheers dude! Quote
Ruddles Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 gives me and idea........i wonder if the wing badge fits in the burger if the centre bar is removed I would say that the side badge is actually smaller than the centre section of my badge Buster. I may be wrong though! Quote
Tay Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 No the rear badge is still Nissan at the moment, I'm considering a TK badge! Whats a TK badge? Quote

Tay Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 No the rear badge is still Nissan at the moment, I'm considering a TK badge! Whats a TK badge? ... Does it look good on the car? I like the Nissan style ones with the Z logo and square indents best. Quote
Tay Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 looks very good on a blue car. I've got a silver one and can't see it looking that good. Quote
Daryl Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Cool badge,any links for where you got it from? Looks like something has hit the top of your one,if it wernt there when you fitted it. It looks really good. Quote
martinmac Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Thats nice but its how I started. Quote
bhavin85 Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 That front badge is nice you cant go wrong with carbon...dont think I have ever seen that before...got a link to where you got it from? I will have 2 brand new tommy K badges up for sale at the end of the month...brought them for my zed but the car will probably be gone by then!

Ruddles Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 I had it shipped from The Z Store! across the pond. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/350z03j/31-1027 Yeah, I suppose you can't see the chip really from afar only up close so it's not too bad! Thats nice but its how I started. It's too late for me! Quote
