they are easy to remove from the rear, but will leave a large round gap in the grill. search on here as there are many people explaining different ways to sort that out so is just a smooth badgeless grill.

Thank you all for the great DIY info.......hopefully I can get it done 'fore 2011.

Had all the paint supplies, etc., ready a few months back, but could not get that damn grille out - without breaking the friggin thing........to save my life.

So, I gave it up and returned the paint, though I could pay my local body shop owner/paint dude $125 to do it - same day, while I wait.

Maybe I still will, maybe not.

Bottom line, I've got the proper info to DIY, so I have the option.

I took it off with some extra online help from members. It is REALLY easy to take off. I over sanded and left sanding lines in the plastic. I had it painted at a local shop for $50. Keep in mind I took them the grill and took off the Infiniti emblem. They prolly charge me more if they knew it was infiniti.
