DIY: 05-06 Sedan Grille JDM Nissan Emblem mod

Hey guys... I have recently purchased my second 1st gen sedan, and this time I wanted to do the JDM Emblem swap. As we know, it is almost impossible to find the right Sedan emblem to fit our USDM Grille. So what I did is I bought the Larger Coupe Nissan Emblem and modified it to work for our grille... Here is my tutorial...

First I started with the 62890-AM900 Coupe Emblem

Then you need to flip it over and start shaving the bottom to clear the grille

In the end you want to make it look like so... I did trim it a little more, but hopefully you get the idea

Now we need to modify the sides of the top part of the emblem so it will fit right.

In the end I was able to place the emblem into the grille. I then hot glued the emblem tabs on the inside of the grille so it will not move at all. End result is a large Nissan Emblem that has no empty gaps...

I know this isnt for everyone, but if you are looking for the best Nissan Emblem for your 05-06 Sedan, look no farther. Thanks for looking guys.

I believe he is aluding to why one would put a Nissan emblem on an Infinti.

So which you can simple respond "My car, my money, my taste" and that's the end of it.
