G35 badge on left??

I friend of mine just bought an '04 G35 sedan today.Nice blue with sand leather.He came over to show it off this evening and I noticed the G35 badge was on the left instead of the right.I've never noticed this before on other G's.Can anyone tell me why or what the difference is.

I guessing that picture isn't his car. Could be either of three of these:
1. Previous owner moved it.
2. Car was debadged and dealer/owner put the badges back on.
3. Was involved in some accident and the shop put them on wrong.

Was thinking along the same suggestions.He never did a check to see if it was in a wreck before.A big no-no for the money.and the pic is my ride and lovin' it more and more.

What did you do to your trim? Is that paint?

true

what's sad is the emblem comes in a foam shape cut out of the piece is attaches to with angles from the trunk lid and tailight to get it in the right place. Only a total retard woud ignore all that and put it on the wrong side of the car. I'd change it b/c it seems like an idiot thing to do.

or just delete it altogether. I only know this b/c my G didn't have a G35 badge and I wanted one so I bought mine from Riverside Infiniti and it comes idiot proof (or so I thought) to put it in the right place.

Yeah, it was literally plan D... plan A, B & C all failed... I have posts out here somewhere about the PITA process - the bottom line is I originally was going to have it all black chromed, but the source I had couldn’t/wouldn't do it (have a source now, but too late) –

so then plan B was have the aluminum powder coated hyper black chrome (same as other stuff on my car) - so had the trim pulled off & handles removed only to find that there is molder plastic on the back! Can’t go in the PC oven...

plan C was to anodize the parts - which was originally an idea because even the exterior of the belt molding has molder rubber so I already knew it couldn’t be powder coated... I talked with 4-6 shops about anodizing most said can't be done, but a couple said maybe - they wanted test pieces first. In the mean time that car has been sitting for a week while I figure out WTF to do...

I ended up just having it painted. Plan D was my last resort. I love the fact that it is not polished aluminum anymore... nothing on my car is chrome or shinny purposely... it's all shades of grey - thus the car name Grey Ghost (that's why the badging you see above is GG, not G35)... anyway it was a real PITA - but whatever, it's done.
