it left no marks whatsoever:

Yep, Its just an opinion. I guess I have just seen so many people try to make their cheap cars look expensive, (by putting body kits, debadging, etc....) that I just automatcially think cheap when I see a debadged car.
IOW..... Debadging makes cheap cars look more expensive and makes expensive cars look cheap..... IMHO.

There id no point in debating the debadge, partial debage etc... It's up to the owner. Going back and forth is only wasting energy who cares. Spacecowboy you can get the Skyline and 350 GT emblems from eBay.
Another intelligent post..........

Hey, I just ripped the leather and had the airbag deploy in my face while I was trying to debadge my seats and steering wheel.
Since the G35 doesnt have many variations or different price points, I wouldnt think too many people are trying the deceptive debadge. I would however, bet a large sum of money that there are far more debadged M35's than M45's.

Ummmmm, wouldnt the "right parts" be the ones that are already on the car?
