1979 280zx Emblems.
Holy crap. I was looking online for emblems for my car and they are going for 150$ for brand new stock O.E.M emblems!!! Is there anyone out there that has or can get their hands on a set? I would be will to pay like 50$ if they are mint, since I need to put them on my Z after I get it repainted. I really don't want to drop 150$

uhmmm.... That's kinda crazy. I see them on Ebay every other listing.
Surely they can't be too much... I've never looked into pricing though. How about a junkyard? You can sometimes find some decent stuff out there.

Yahoo Japan had a set of FairladyZ emblems for the 280ZX the other day. Going for cheap too. And they are the same style of lettering as the US 280ZX. And as far getting a "mint" emblem goes. Easier said then done guys. I've got one 
and I only paid a few bucks for it on ebay. But I need it to make molds off of. Most aren't in very good shape but nothing a little rechroming wont fix. Another alternative is to go through a company like Victoria British or MSA. They have OEM emblems for far less than what you were seeing and you would never be able to tell the difference between those and what Datsun put on the car originally (if there even is a difference).
And you know what I find funny. That some were so quick to jump on the simple math above. When in actuality it was very simple to see that he was talking about wanting a pair of emblems and paying that each Being quick on the draw doesn't mean squat if you can't hit the target

I wasn't trying to be a dick either, I just chuckled cause as soon as I read the way he put that, I knew someone was going to come back with something like what you said. I scrolled down and there it was
That's why I found it funny Yes Rod we know, lightening quick fingers and the wit to go with em
