Thinking of doing some debadging

I'm thinking of taking of some of the badging that's on the trunk of the car. I think it looks cleaner w/o all the badging

With badges:


De-badged (forgive my pathetic attempt of chopping, I used MS Paint):


I didn't wanna take all of the badging off, because I think that looks too bare. Leaving the Infiniti logo on is a clean and classy look IMHO

What do you guys think? Yay or nay?

That was the was I was thinking of doing it, thanks for doing the 'what-if' picture.

Now that I see it, I'm not so sure...

I like it with just the center logo as shown. It's also easier to wax that area without all the extra little obstacles.

I kind of like it. I was thinking of doing the exact same with my OB (when it gets here). That and going with black chrome on the grille and leaving the Mt. Fuji emblem bright chrome so that the only badging is the front and rear emblems.

not a fan of the debadging.... I have seen the infiniti badge removed and the infiniti letters reinstalled across the center of the trunk and that was pretty nice looking...

I don't understand de-badging on any car (other than dealer spam). Why would you want to hide the model of your vehicle?

I like the de-baged look. Thats how I have my 04 g35 (just the center fuji emblem) and I like the way it looks. It does create a cleaner look IMO. Plan on doing the same to the g37 when it comes in.
