nixy Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 This is the first thing I want to get rid of! So, is it a hairdryer job or does it leave holes? I'd rather have nothing there than the fairlady badge! I've never actually taken a badge of a car with a hairdryer - is it safe and anyone got any tips to avoid scratches? Quote
Sarnie Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Hairdryer and dental floss should do it. The badge won't leave any holes. Are you replacing it with a 350z badge? Quote
nixy Posted June 3, 2007 Author Posted June 3, 2007 don't know really, what do you think? I'm not too fussed, just want rid of that hideous fairlady one! Quote
Zzzz... Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 No fairlady for a lady...????? I am disappointed... I think it is quite a nice badge... if you know the history of fairlady... for joe-bloggs public... it will be a bit gay... Quote
nixy Posted June 3, 2007 Author Posted June 3, 2007 don't know the history so yep..........gay! Quote
Sarnie Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 I've debaged mine at the rear: If you want a 350z one then: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/ ... =127-350ZC Quote
lomoto Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 350z badge for rear is about £30 I think from dealer Quote
M13KYF Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 350z badge you can get from chris at funkystyling based in uk http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/item.php? ... eNumber=55 Quote
M350ZB Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 ifs its a fairlady let it be a lady that is fair, if not you can get some tacky badges on ebay, make sure you get a descent one, i have just seen some insane badges, quite cool i suppose ! Quote
nixy Posted June 4, 2007 Author Posted June 4, 2007 I think i'll just leave it without one to be honest. So is anyone gonna tell me the history then? Quote
sinbad Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Fair Lady and later Fairlady - The name given to the first line of sports cars designed and built by Nissan Motors Japan after W.W.II, with the specific intent of being marketed in the USA - 1960. The name "Fair Lady" was given to the new sports car line by Mr. Katsuji Kawamata, President Of Nissan Motors Japan, after he attended the Broadway Musical "My Fair Lady" while visiting the US in 1958. He felt that the name would invoke an image of beauty for the car - because people would think of the beauty of the music and the leading lady in that Broadway Musical. More here: http://zhome.com/History/FairladyName.html I like the Badge anyway. I'm keeping mine. Quote
Zzzz... Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 see... granted the name probably works better in Japan how many car names have this kind of thought? golf, corrado, polo, civic, micra, primera, ibiza, touareg, cayenne, qashqai, ... If you get rid of the badges, there will be too much metal exposed, and would look bare, and potentially "bum looks big"...comments... Sarnie got a big wing which balances the overall aspect of the RR ... ...It is amazing what a badge can do to break the shape & size of a panel Just my opinion... you'll have to judge it by yourself...

Emperor Ming Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Nixy Debadge and leave it clean. It looks so much cleaner and dare I say classier. If they gotta ask what it is then hey all the better. Mine came like this and I am well happy with it. Ming the clean Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Definately worth changing to the 350z logo from CourtesyParts..looks great and only $24? Though why is their postage for a logo over $60?! Nixy - did u change the seat covers on your JDM Z? Ive also got the S version.. id like to do the same. Who did it for u and how much was it? Quote
nixy Posted June 14, 2007 Author Posted June 14, 2007 Seats are actually being done today - arranged by Jurgen who imported the car for me. Cost £400 which is cheap but I haven't seen them in the flesh yet! Quote

nixy Posted June 14, 2007 Author Posted June 14, 2007 They aren't covers, they are being re-trimmed. Quote
lomoto Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 £400!! .. i saw on ebay custom 350z replacement leather seat covers from US for under £200..They state theyre a direct replacement..graphite colour. I've seen some of those covers that guy's in the States have had fitted , they are absolute garbage besides which they wont fit RH drive cars Quote
Zzzz... Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 how about an "iced" 350Z badge with Swarovski’s most exquisite crystals... looking cool ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ICED-OUT ... dZViewItem Quote
