Badging/Debadging in Fresno, CA & Upper Glovebox Fix

Does anybody here know a place in Fresno, California that performs a badging/debadging service? I've been thinking about putting Skyline emblems on my G for awhile now. Also my upper glovebox (the top rounded one) where the Navigation Drive would be, came loose on the upper right part, due to last summer's heat I guess since I don't have tint on my window as of yet. Does anyone know how to fix this or know where in Fresno that can?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please do not put skyline badges on there. It has to be the most poser-ish thing ever.

let me be the first to support you, lol. It's definitely gonna bring attention to your ride. I say go for it, but if you do...do it proper. Get the interior JDM'ed out as well. I got a set of JDM badges but i'm not gonna touch them till I have the JDM interior bits as well. do it big or don't do it at all. As for re/debadging, it's pretty easy to do it yourself. A hairdryer and some fishing line or a credit card should be all you need. I just debadged the infiniti letters off the back.

Perfectly summed up. OP, Listen to her.

hows it going fellow fresnan... do you have a coupe or a sedan? off topic but i rarely see a fellow G owner on the forum except for our little group here in fresno which is mostly coupe so i had to jack your thread...

In regards to your question i really dont know of a place here in fresno that does that, bodyshop maybe?

But IMO i'd prefer debadging it and leaving it like that looks clean.. but different strokes for different folks whatever pleases you go for it man...

lol..I sense another JDM rebadge debate coming. It's like christians vs. muslims, it will never end. I'm not really a fan of seeing JDM badges on a car with the infiniti embroidered seats being in plain view..but I'd give props to someone who at least took the time to do the interior up. The way I see it, all the G35 is is a Nissan Skyline 350GT with a tuxedo and a different driver's side. Some people just like taking the tux off. Remember when it was speculated that the Nissan GTR might come over to the USA as the Infiniti GTR? I'd bet money if that were the case, some GTR owners would be ordering Nissan badges from Japan.

But why is this so "popular" with the G community. Again, no one with a Lexus is slapping Toyota badges on. It's rice, plain and simple.

^ Thank you.. Perfect example... I even look at people putting those ugly Nissan hamburger emblems on the G as rice.


Sometimes you do see some ghetto a$$ SC300/400 or an old LS400 badged as a "toyota soarer" or "toyota celsoir"

Rice.

I think it's so popular because of the legendary Skyline name. Lots of people respect the Skyline heritage and thus more people want to celebrate that. The toyota Altezza never really reached that status. I see a few Lexus with the altezza front grille, but definitely not the toyota emblem. I also never see M45s rebadged to Nissan Fuga's either...nor Vokswagen Jettas rebadged as Boras...nor Pontiac GTOs rebadged as Vauxhaul Moneros. Rebadging is one of those 'to each his own' type of things. Same goes for the Kenstyle rear, the nismo spoiler, and other appearance mods.

I wouldn't degrade my Infiniti coupe as a Nissan, what I did do was debadge
everything but the Mt Fuji for a clean look....but that's just my taste and the
way I do things.
