The badging that I bought at Tacoma Nissan (nismoparts.com) was:

350GT $20.74Front Nissan $16.88Rear Nissan $12.81Skyline $24.16

After tax it was $81.15 It would cost me about $3. to ship. Look around, and if you can't find a better price, let me know, and I'll pick them up.

But you could always rebadge hers and sell it to some unsuspecting Honda owner!!! lol

Are you guys going to accept me if I remove the "G35" and swap the "INFINITI" with "SKYLINE"?

You're kidding, right? I hope so. Please before you do so, read up on the Skyline's history.

Noah, I know it's blasphemous, but I really don't like the Nissan logo. The fact that it needs text to make it recognizable is a no-no in my book.

The clean lines of the Infinit Logo coupled with SKYLINE look great in my mind. If you guys really don't like it, I'll probably skip it. Not because I really love all of your opinions, but just out of respect for the skyline name.

BTW, I read the Wikipedia on the Skyline if that makes any difference. It detailed it's history since it was a Princ.

So then you understand, that Infiniti has nothing to do with the skyline name. I found it quite humorous when Infiniti got all up in arms when they learned the new GT-R would carry a nissan badge, what did they expect? Actually it would be nice to complete debadge the trunk all together, but someone thought two holes were needed to line up the badge.

Yes, I understand the details. From an aesthetics perspective, the "Skyline" and Nissan logo don't look good together (My opinion).

Are you referring to holes for the GT-R or the G35. I've seen plenty complete debadges. I don't think there are any holes. Unless yours is different that mine.

There are two holes in the trunk to line the badge, whether it is the nissan badge or the infiniti badge.

So far I'm getting a unanimous answer of no holes on the trunk.

I've seen quite a few coupes that were completely debadged and I doubt they would have gone through the trouble of filling them in and airbrushing.

Noah,

A little assistance to verify holes or no holes please.

My G didn't have any holes. Just adhesive tape. The Nissan badges didn't have posts to fill said holes either.

The sedans have holes in the trunk. End of Story.

Just like if you try to take the side moldings off the sedan, there are holes there as well. Different from the coupe.

The rebadge kit is also sedan or coupe specific as the S K Y L I N E lettering sets differently when comparing the two cars.

The 07+ sedans don't have the holes.

Ive seen sketches of a 4 door GT-R that they want to bring over and badge as an Infiniti.

I also know that this may never make it off the drawling board. Would be an awesome car though.
