Some *******(s) stole my infiniti emblem while it was parked in my driveway lastnight. They did a number on the paint job as well. There are alot of deep scratches left in the paint. I wish I had caught them in the act....

anyone know how much a new one costs and How I can repair the Paint damage???

Crazy - where are you located?

RE: The scratches, check the detailing page. You'll be amazed at what you can buff out with a PC and some poorboys. If it's all the way down to the primer you might need professionals, but it's worth asking over there first. Pics are always a great help.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Ouch. That gotta be painful. But, doesn't it look good w/o emblem? I'm planning to remove my " INFINITI" emblem and keep the logo on. Lot of ppl on this forum remove them and put SKYLINE

Well, good luck on your scratch and hopefully scratches can go away.

I had the same thing happen about two months ago....well sort of anyways. While I was waxing my G, I noticed numerous scratches all around the G35 lettering on the back of my car. It was obvious that someone with a screwdriver or knife was trying to pry it off of my car....thankfully they didnt have any success. Unfortunately, they put so many scratches around the lettering that I had to have it fixed. I got the work done through a body shop that my local Nissan dealer deals with and they only charged me $40. I thought that was fairly reasonable.

Sorry to hear about that. If the scratches are not that bad (i.e. not deep), you can try some Meguiar's Scratch X.

they took off the actual infiniti logo emblem.. i guess i have to get it painted or try some touch up paint.. I guess it would have looked alright with it off but they really messed up the paint so now after I removed the reamining glue all you see is hacked up paint

Sorry to hear that bro......Get an estimate from a good local body shop. By what Canuck said, it shouldn't be very expensive.
G/L with repairs, and welcome to G35Driver.
Where are you located?

Colin.
