Was browsing ebay a couple of weeks ago and found this brand new Nissan emblem for $5.20 shipped. I figured for 5 bucks, if I didn't like it that it wouldn't be that big a deal, so I went ahead an bought it. Well I can definitely say that I am glad I bought it because I think it looks slick! It fits perfectly and looks a heck of a lot better than the old, flat, ugly '01 front emblem.

Let me know what you think.

 

Very clean. I like the look.

 

link on ebay.... please it looks way better .....

 

All you have to do is search for "Nissan emblem" on ebay and there will be more than enough for you to choose from. Most of these emblems go for about 12-13 shipped, but I lucked out and got mine for around 5.

BTW-to remove the old emblem I used a hair dryer to heat it up for about 5 mins and then it came out like a charm. The new emblem I was sent had industrial grade double sided tape on it so it was real easy to put on.

 

It looks good ... now what did the old emblem look like again?

 

OLD:


NEW:

 

I guess I have to see it in person because I can't really tell the difference. Maybe it's this tiny monitor

 

Haha... I thought it was just me... I can't really tell either... been looking at it for the past few minutes on my laptop...

 

i cant see the diff on my 17 inch monitor, maybe its the old age (19)

 

Well, for one, the little plastic inserts in the middle of the circle of the old emblem arent there on the new and the chrome of the new emblem is quite a bit thicker than the old.

 

I like it. It looks smooth. For $5 why wouldn't you.

 

Looks better than the old....

 

OLD:


NEW:

 

The difference between the two is that the emblem on the second one has a thicker ring and has a shortened NISSAN logo which results in the letters protruding from the left and right sides of the circumference.*

*Note: Sonner posted the closeup before I was able to post this, so no 'captain obvious' flames, please!

 

Thanks for cropping/resizing them pics, Sooner... I see the differences now...

 

DUH!

Just kidding... I saw your post before and after the edit...

 

thanks alot for the clarification regarding the emblems.

 

It looks awesome compared to the old bland hamburger. Now consider painting your grille black and smoke tinting the emblem like Irish44j did.. Looks awesome that way IMO.

 

they didn't look any different from the distance, but looks nice, not for me though.

 

looks less hambuger like.. i like it. though you really can't tell from any distance other than a close up inspection.

 

OK now I see the difference.

 

Well, it took you long enough....

But seriously, for all of you guys interested in doing this, just be patient looking around on Ebay and you will have a good deal pop up.

 

i like it sooner, looks good and less Hamburger looking.
Good deal too, Thanks for the closeup pics!

 

looks good lance. told you the blow dryer would work to get the old one off.
looks just like the emblem i have on the back...i need one for the front now

 

Ya but the emblem on the back of yours is considerably smaller and definitely more difficult to find. I have searched and searched and still haven't found one at a decent price. I am hoping to find one soon to match the emblem on the front.

BTW-off subject question here for ya, but where did you locate your transmission ground wire? I have pictures of a ninth wire I ran to a point labeled V3, but not sure if that actually does anything.

 

the grilles look different..the top one the logo is like indented in...see what im saying...

i never notices though, the newer emblem is a lot nicer, and says nissan smaller, i love it. i definitly need to do this!!

 

Ya, the top picture is of a 4th gen but the emblems are the exact same (the grille is just a bit different though).

 

looks good, and for 5 bucks its worth it
