Bobby - Look at that car dad; it sure is nice, huh?

Dad – It sure is son. Nice and clean!

Bobby – It has an Infiniti symbol, but what kind is it?

Dad – I don’t know Boddy, but lets see if we can catch him and find out.

I actually photo shopped this /\ pic to get an idea.

You got the right idea...

Now all you gotta do, is get the panel without the INFINITI wording on it...

Gorgeous.

The longer those cars are off the market, the more I realize they're a classic design like the G50 was.

maybe a better idea would be to paint it a nice black with clearcoat, but I'll leave mine as is. If you remove yours get back at us with pic

M45 has no holes behind it... just double sided tape...

I am 99% sure the INFINTI Mt Fuji emblem does not have mounting pegs on it... Just to be sure I will order one tomorrow and see...

I ordered the panel that the INFINITI wording is on off a Cedric... (still waiting)

I had the same concern, but a buddy of mine with a G35 confirmed that it was 3-sided tape, so off they went.

My car is totally debadged except the seats, steering wheel, and door sills. Now that I have the LED tails, people really don't know what to make of it......Benz maybe

very fresh Mark! I love what you did with the insert above the license plate. You removed the ~~i n f i n i t i~~ letters, filled in the holes and painted it. I'd be very interested in that except I'd want to leave the infiniti logo.

I wonder how many people go home after seeing your car and google GranTurismo. lol

oh yeah...

also, I ordered the rear INFINITI "bug" or "mt fuji" emblem (what ever you want to call it) just to confirm its only double sided tape no pegs even though it was mentioned above...

if you are missing any INFINITI letters from that plate, the only way to get them is from that finisher piece on the trunk that they are on top of..

that piece is MSRP: $236.98 FYI

all ripped off... just did it with my fingers... double sided tape...

I walked by 5 other M's that are in for service, you can press the letters and they move...

its not like the newer cars from infiniti where the wording is molded into the plastic piece...

carefull the tinting colover over the chrome scratches easy... i scratched mine on the last I...

pictures coming...

gotta use some goo gone on it later...

dont twist the letters, just pull them off or they will scratch the tint film (see on the left of the I)... have the sun beating down on the back lettering and it will make it easier to pull off...







will use some goo-gone on it when I get around to it...

and now I am mad I ordered these finishers off the cedric, I originally thought the wording was molded in like on the Y50

hey! my tags are super expired! I was wondering why I got a new sticker in the mail recently...

I have a personalized plate on the way now though :D

OK, my letters are off and cleaned up. I did find a very small scratch in between one of the letters.

so the big infiniti LOGO in the middle (trunk) doesnt have pegs on it? so pretty much everything is double sided tape?

what about your front grill, what did you do to it?

Talk to mrmark about this grill as I believe he has already tried these grills. The headlights and the bumpers are different angles and the grill, headlights and bumpers will not fit the US Y34. Just a heads up...

The Gloria grille's? I know the headlights are different on the Cedric, but the Gloria look to be the same headlights... so I figured the grille would fit...

but also, for the grilles... there is one accessory grille that comes with both a gloria and cedric emblem and depending on your application, you apply the specific emblem... so I would figure they both fit the same gloria / cedric / m45....

we will find out for sure as soon as they come in... (ive ordered these a while ago now, id hope they show up soon!

In the pic you posted the headlights and grill look nothing like the M45 ones, in my opinion, but yes I have seen Glorias with identical looking both and instead of the Infiniti logo on the grill the is the Nissan logo.We'll see when you get them
