To each their own. You may not think it has any place in my car, you may not see the relevance, but it doesn’t change the fact that Datsun/Nissan/Infinity have a history together (so it does have more relevance than a Chevy ****).
I personally don’t see the need for a $150 titanium ****. Although once people on the west coast stop buying the Titanium ones and move on to petrified whale sperm *****, then the Titanium ones will be cheaper for the middle of the country. So, start the trend! Lemmings MARCH!!

i like it, and feel that its your car and you can do what you want to it. I think the z doesn't fit just because its a G but the history and the **** its self looks amazing and is amazing.

I'm not saying you should be using a $150 ****, or even an aftermarket one at that. I love Z's but it definitely looks out of place. How about putting a **** with FX35 or Maxima printing on it? They are all Nissans right?

The main things I like about the ****, are that it was cheap ($24 shipped), has quite a lot of weight to it, and the colors looked good with my interior. Plus it was different. There isn't an MT FX35 is there?
This kinda goes along with emblems. I've looked for a new grill emblem on ebay and usually just come across the Nissan ones from Japan. I'm not about to take an Infinity emblem off the outside and put on a Nissan one. But paying some homage to an old company on the inside is o.k. with me.

Peace

I'm well aware of it; that's why I don't need to see it on the shifter, or the windshield, or the seat, or the floor mat......

jonzen1977... You asked a question, it was answered with good responses and some you disagree with, and some DUNCE AWARD responses. The bottom line is that you like it- period! Nothing else really matters.

I think half the mods most guys put on their cars are impractical, some are dangerous, others purely cosmetic and to draw attention and be "different",.. the reasons are many. For example, grounding kits do not add much practical value in our G (the purported added horsepower is minimal to none for most), unless your goal is to reduce RF interference in your sound system-- beyond that, they're cosmetic. Most guys install this system w/o researching the actual improvements one would get. Supposedly, they're designed to stabilize electrical "noise" and voltage spikes; however, the G already has a voltage regulator and comes well grounded. But they like it, it looks good in all those colors, and gives one bragging rights (for what I'm not sure).

Enjoy your new ****, ignore the bashing and insults... move on with dignity. "The mountain lion does not turn (i.e., look back) when a small dog barks."

Already have. Didn't put it up for acceptance. Just wanted to share; so anyone wanting some pointers on installing the boot or drilling out and tapping THE **** OF THEIR CHOICE, would know where to turn. Opinions are like a$$holes, everyones got one and most of them stink.
