Emblems crooked, from factory

I anyone else's lettering/Mt.Fuji logo crooked? My 'G37x' is noticeably so, with the 'G37' on a slight slant and the 'x' on different slant. The Mt. Fuji is also off, but to a lesser degree. Not splitting atoms here, all of this is noticeably about starting at about 5 feet away. I've been looking at some other parked G37x's and the 'G37x' is always in a straight line, parallel to the lid of the trunk, and not on any kind of slant.

I think I'm going to have the dealer fix this. Are these emblems put on by the dealer or factory? Should I be concerned with them scratching things up? Obviously de/re-badging is done all day long on the forums, but I'm always apprehensive of the dealer.

if ur picky about the dealership doing things to ur car, you can always do it yourself, that being said

i'd take it to the dealership and demand them to put it on straight.

Probably means your car was built first thing Monday morning after a Holiday weekend?

If you want them on the car, then just have the dealer do it. They come in a template, so not sure how the G37 and the X are on different angles.

But if you want them off (or not sure), then talk the dealer into ordering you new badges and tell them you will install them yourself. Go home and put them on a shelf, debage and install later when you sell it.

I would be worried that the car had body work at the port, or by the dealer. If you don't know how to look for a re-paint go to a body shop and see what they think.

I don't really know about the G37 I de-badged my car right when I got it but the emblem on two of my friends g35 came pretty crooked from the factory.

^what i'm thinking. emblems are templated on on at the factory and usually not crooked. check for signs of paint and bodywork.
