You will need to snap off the two plastic tabs that go through the hood attaching it to your car. You will find them in the hole behind the latch on the hood. Then use dental floss to remove your stock emblem dont try to pry it off. Basicly use the dental floss like a saw to cut through the doublesided tape underneith the emblm. Get as much as the foam off with the dental floss as you can. You will need some sort of cleaner to remove the rest of the residue and foam left from the double sided tape thats was holding your stock emblem to the hood. You just have to cut off the plastic tab on the back of the silvia emblem since it wont match up with the holes in your hood, then be sure to position it to cover up the stock holes in the hood. I would buy one new so you wouldnt have to mess with trying to adhear one that was already pulled off of a car.

I know that courtesy nissan has them fairly cheap, cheaper than ebay. I don't know if any of the nico supporters sell them. But you should check. If you cant find any of the supporters that sell them here is the link to the emblem at courtesy nissan.

Right there. Cheaper then Courtesy Nissan. Got mine from Courtesy Nissan though, but can't be any diffrent.

Oh, I drilled a hole in my hood And plugged up the previous two with silicone. I don't think you would want to do that though. Was on there pretty tight, till some bastard highschool kids ripped it off my hood

Krazy glue worked well for my emblems. It also helps if you didn't have any emblems to begin with.

I know these guys aren’t a NICO sponsor either but they do have them. http://www.silviaparts.com/s14/ you might want to check the sponsors too, I'm sure one of them carries something like that.
