Easiest way to do it would be to sell your car and get a new one

just ignore those fools. I'd have to go with elite though, you'll never be able to get it perfect again unless you just buy new ones that come together on a templet. Otherwise it take some crazy measuring and leveling and stuff to get it back. One thing you could try is go to an infiniti dealer and park next to another one and take some measurments on it like from the corners of the trunk and stuff the the edges of the letters and stuff, and measure how far apart each letter is and everything. Then you might be able to get it close.

Actually, The Elite man has a point. The new emblems come with fresh adhesive and templates making for easy application and proper placement. What ever you do just make sure you clean the area with isopropal alcohol before application.

Stick the old ones to your tool box or what ever. Why take the chance of re-application that my very well fall off at some point! Just my 2 pennies worth!

I don't think it'd be that hard to measure out the correct spot w/ some masking tape and a pencil. Finding an adhesive shouldn't be too difficult either.

But if you're lazy, just buy it from the dealer. Or eBay has em for like a little over 20 bucks.

Once you have tried that and decide to order new ones, you can get them from http://www.infinitipartsusa.com for $47.45 for both the "Infiniti" and "G37S" shipped to your house which saves you a trip to the dealer. Probably saves you two trips because they will probably have to order for you. Good luck.

i guarantee you it will look like ****e and you will just frustrate yourself. save yourself about two hours of aggravation and get the new badges from the dealership or online.
