STRBramley Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm getting the boot lid resprayed on my JDM 350z convertible on the 19th and they have said the FairladyZ badge won't go back on. I'm looking for a replacement OEM if possible but all I can seem to find on eBay is this. Does anyone know of a better place to get one or what alternatives I have? What if I got an OEM 350Z badge rather than the FairladyZ badge? Thanks, STRBramley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I see no reason why it wouldn't go back on. What is their reasoning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer but its the 350z or fairladyZ badge I need and not the emblem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Utter tosh! Very easy to refit with a decent quality double sided tape. Alex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 He said each letter would have to come off and I assume they aren't easy to reattach. How well do you trust his work? It's simply a case of reapplying the sticky tape and sticking it back on the car, correct spacing is obtained with nothing more than a bit of masking tape over the length of the badge before removal. Any decent body shop wouldn't think twice about doing this - most of the professional detailers I know regularly remove badging just to clean behind them! I'm afraid I'd be questioning this guy's ability to do the job to a decent standard, frankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said, any bodyshop worth the money would do this without even mentioning it to you. It's just accepted as something that is part of the deal.

Shane Brede Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Put my zed badge back on with some spare double sided sticky foam pads over a year ago when it came off whilst I was cleaning I had the pads lying around after fitting the alarm light to my bike. I bought them from the pound shop and just just cut to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
