How much to go Emblem Less?

I really like the whole completely emblem less look some people have. I plan on doing it, because I think I can do the grill myself, and the back most of it just come off. My biggest problem is that back Infiniti Symbol. I know there is two holes under it, and I'm wondering how much do you think on average would it cost to take it off, and then have it all fixed up.

I'm just trying to see if it's worth it, because I'm not sure if I wanna just do it half assed, and have that left. :\

Thanks.

It might be on the lower side then for paint. They will need to weld the holes shut then sand/grind them down smooth...then paint

DO IT!

^Really, I liked your 350 GT emblem (and I'm not one for emblems at all!), the red ties in with your tails and BBK. Completely nekkid out back is very clean though!

I'm in Chicago Land, and really new to anything other then the regular maintenance.
So finding places for everything I want to do with this car, is probably going to be a problem of its own. haha

Check out the regional section. I'm sure there are guys in your area that can recommend a good body shop.

IMO, after looking at countless pictures before debadging my car, the car looks way too naked and bare without the Mt. Fuji emblem still on.

I, like most I think, took of "INFINITI" and G35 and left the Mt. Fuji and love it. Plus, you don't have to pay the $XXX and still look clean and unique!

^^^IMO if you leave the emblem on you should move it down a bit... to where the top portion covers the holes (of course you have to shave the pins off to do this)... it centers the emblem and looks much better.

mine is shaved now - but here's what it looks like moved down:


vs sitting up high in OEM location


& for the helluvit, vs shaved:

I wanted to change it up....again I'm adding a sticker on the rear window to help promote a site/store/business my friend is looking at getting in to so I thought it would flow more without the emblem.

Ummm, yes there is on the Sedan If there weren't holes behind the emblems you would see a whole lot more Sedans without any emblems in the rear. But we have the pleasure of having to have our trunk shaved and repainted to go emblemless.
