Was thinking about removing the gold infiniti emblem (since it says INFINITI on the chrome bar right below it anyway), painting these black to match rear plate, wheels, pinstripe, etc.... and mounting them in the center of the truck lid next to one another.

Comments/flames?

The V8 badge looks great on the fender behind the front wheel.

Hmmmm...good idea. Except I only have one!

I just went to rinkya.com, created an account, which can take a day or two to process, put a deposit down to secure my bids, and typed "infiniti emblem" Found an auction and bid on it. The emblem cost me $1, the shipping was $25.

Here's an idea for you. Sell all your Infiniti Emblems in Japan! That's what they all want.

I guess the emblem always looks more exotic on the otherside of the rim.

Personally, I think the V8 emblem is dumb since all Q45 only have a V8 in this market.

.I hear you guys on the v8 emblem.

My argument is since the car in general is so unrecognized and underappreciated, the v8 emblem coupled with cima would only serve to give it the stature it deserves.

Most people are shocked when I tell them it is a near 300hp v8.

Like a Mustang, early 7 series, A6,.......all the cars that have to proclaim themselves V8 because they weren't necessarily born with one?

I like the Infiniti's stature whenever I pass a shop I don't have to visit unless I schedule some maintenance.

How many times do we have to tell you the Q is not a race car?

I personally don't get it... I think that putting those on the car is entering ricer realm. That money would have been better invested at a titty bar. I do like those wheels in pic above though!

Cadillacs and Lincolns get and Northstar and Intech badges. We should start branding our engines.

VH-V8?

A titty bar is a hard investment to question...

Pretty sure that "V8" badge is off of a Mercedes.
