Thanks for all the comments everyone.

Yea people suck, stupid high school girls. Now that I got a chance to look at the car in some light, I have some scratches where the egg hit. I didn't think an egg was that hard, or is our paint just that soft? Eh hopefully it'll buff out.

With Mt.Fuji...


Without Mt.Fuji


Not a great Photoshop job, it was hard to match the glare on the trunk... But it gives you an idea of what it would look like both ways.

I think I kind of like it better without the Mt.Fuji emblem. It looks less cluttered and draws your attention to the new rear end...

I can't wait to see it in Lakeland...

Hey thanks for the photoshop _jb. I'm planning on clay barring the car today anyway so I might end up removing it. I like how it looks both ways.

Your G is MF Ill.
Did you add fiberglass to the rear? It seems a little thinto me too. I had cracks and the bottom was broken. Also what brackets did you use?

Yeah I had my buddy add more fiberglass to it. We only had to use the stock brackets on top since after adding more fiberglass it was stable enough to not need the custom brackets he was going to make for the bottom. Mounting the license plate was a PITA though since there was no way of doing it without further custom work.

You're welcome. I think I'd take it off, but it does look good either way.

I took the "G35" off my trunk lid... Thinking about removing the "INFINITI" letters, but it looks better (maybe) on a Coupe without a spoiler. The letters are just a pain to polish around.

I planned to start cleaning up mine as well but it's pouring down rain at my house... Maybe tomorrow...

The rain stopped and I had the debadging bug, too... So I finally took off the Infiniti letters on my trunk lid. Looks a lot cleaner and will be much easier to polish...

Gotta love Goo Gone...

I have OB and its completely debadge (looks cleanest!).. I will be installing the chargespeed rear as soon as I get it painted. I will be reglassing the license plate hole and recutting a slit at the top so nothing will be visible straight on from the back. I will also be painting the diffuser portion satin black. I have contacted customautomesh to see if they can cut some mesh for us at proper width. I will let you know if your interested.

Looks great.. Got me really excited to get mine on!

Ok so I took off the Mt Fuji emblem and after removing all the left over adhesive, I noticed that there were deep scratch marks leaving an outline of the emblem. So until I can get it fixed I reattached the emblem with double-sided tape.
