2014 Q60 3.7 Emblems on the 09-13 Sedan?

Is anyone planning on adding these to their 09-13 sedan? I tend to like the way they look on the new Q60 coupe. I also see that Sewell Infiniti out in TX is selling a kit which contains the fender emblems and rear trunk Q60 emblem as well, but for $109 (too pricey). Since alot of coupe types will de-badge, I imagine you will be able to pickup a used pair for a song.

I think most of the guys on the forum would debadge the 3.7 if they had it. The typical response is that it seems a little "Mazda-y"

Not sure why, but I like the way the fender badges look. Maybe I'm just reminiscent of my muscle car days.

There is already a 37 on the car- look at your trunk where it says G37!!!!
It it was something like a 5.0 on a Mustang, sure!

We've been debadging for a "clean look" since 2008. Now we're adding badges.

It's always greener on the other side I guess.

I think its kinda like putting the IPL stuff on a non-IPL coupe. Why do it? Aftermarket parts are one thing, but OEM parts just to make it look like something it's not is another.

But it is a 3.7, so the badge is warranted. Maybe 're-badging is the wave of the future :-)

I agree that it bears likeness to the Mustang. That's what I thought the first time I saw it (yesterday at the dealer). I know it's not socially acceptable in these circles, but I still like the way it looks.

Not a fan of the fender emblem, would have been much better IMO if they put illuminated side markers right there.

This right here. That was my very first thought some months ago when the Q50 was released with that badge on the fenders. Too much redundant and unremarkable chrome bits of bling. Now, if it were 5.7, or 3.7t,then maybe bragging rights. But 3.7 liters displacement just doesn't seem that much of a big deal.

However, it is your car, OP, so badge, debadge... whatever you like, man. Personally, I wouldn't do it. And if I had a Q (which I wouldn't, LOL) then I'd be removing that badge first day.

Maybe if the car had a turbo from the factory AND 3.7. I'd leave a 3.7TT badge on there. Then again, it's no one's business what I keep under the hood. I'm not a fan of the sidemarkers, I'd much rather have them on the mirrors than have them on the body of the car.

Agreed. We left this badge on the fender of our Audi.
