Hood mascot.

Well, I drilled some holes in my hood, that was scary. Turned out good though, I'm glad I did it.

Looks sweet driving down the road.

Good Job. It's a tedious process especially making sure it looks centered and straight.

Agreed. I double and triple checked my measurements. I was so nervous.

What 'mascot' is that??

Post by **menacekustoms** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:15 pm

It's the JDM Cima mascot.

Looks great. My only preference would have been that it was chrome/silver instead of gold. That's just my personal preference though. Post up some full shots HERE. We want to see it all.

Well, I'll tell you what, I normally hate gold on cars. However, the Nissan logo in the Cima grille and the trunk badge is gold, so it matched. Plus, it looks "right" on this color. If it were any other color I probably would have kept it silver.

I'll post up some more pics when I'm done clay barring it.

Thanks for the reply. Is that a Cima grille too?

BTW, jltibbs, your G50 looks great on the Murano wheels...

Post by **menacekustoms** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 2:01 pm

Yes sir. And it has the JDM Nissan trunk badge as well. Nobody know what car it is.

Do you have a pic of this so called JDM trunk badge?

Thank you sir. I need to get some pics posted up that were taken from Import Alliance a week ago, but owinbush has yet to get them to me.

I'll get a pic of the trunk badge tomorrow.

Lookin' good. I've been thinking about getting one myself. I know what you mean about the badging...I had a lady walk in front of me somewhere and say " hey nice.....(looks at my Cima grill)....Nissan?" I laughed.

I had an old guy come up to me in Vatozone (I only buy stuff that I can grab from there, nothing behind the counter) and tell me how sharp my car looked, and asked what it was. When I told him it was an Infiniti, he looked back at the Nissan badge, and was noticeably confused.

Trunk badge.

Post by **jltibbs** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 4:05 pm

I would not mind having that, but the G50 will not allow it. Infiniti emblem has holes going through to the trunk deck lid. I do want to get one though. Where you get it from?

Post by **menacekustoms** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 9:51 pm

The Nissan logo has locating pins that go through the trunk too. They fit exactly in the original holes.

Oh, btw, that's a big, umm exhaust you have.

I have had people argue with me that my car says Nissan President so why do i say it's Q45.

So the emblem is the same on the Y? If so, I want to know where you got it from so I can copy you. Oh, and I know the exhaust is big, that 's the point. Here's another pic.

Hey, I wasn't doggin' your exhaust, just ribbing you a little.

About the emblem, pop your trunk and measure the distance between the two pins and let me know. I'll tell you if it's the same. Mine came with the car, but I see them on eBay, and you can probably get one from Infiniti of Scottsdale because it's a genuine JDM Nissan part.
