Where to buy the OEM Infiniti red "S" emblem?
I hit a pole and left some damage on my front bumper. Recently I got a good deal on sport bumper with matched paint so I'm changing the front bumper from non-sport to sport and I have always been running on 18" wheels. I just want to add the "S" to complete the look of the car.
As for the paddle shifter, I'm never a fan of those. I'm comfortable with my seat and will not change to sport seat even at free cost. Sport metal pedals look good, I might do the swap as well. LSD sounds good but I'm not a track driving person so it doesn't help much but burn a hole in my pocket so it's a no no.
After all, I want the S just for a better look not to claim my journey is a sport in any meaning and to me, sport G35/G37 are not different much from journey in performance and value aspects.

IMO the S only belongs on a "true" S, sure it looks cool and those that aren't up on Infinitis won't give it a second thought, but you WILL get knocked down a few pegs if you happen to stumble into a group of true Infiniti fans, and it probably will happen. I'd just do the best you can w/ your Journey and mod it the way you like, and if your bankroll permits make it better than an S 
No need to portray your G as something it isn't, it's still a bad as$ ride all the way!

Anyways, KoolYa, did you see something like this on ebay?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tuning-S-Log...f8e9f2&vxp=mtr
If that is what you saw, I already contacted the seller and they said that it is not the S emblem for Infiniti but an aftermarket one. I asked them to show me the actual picture of the item but they said they don't have one
To the guys that think I am a poser, I would have gone for the whole G37S badge on ebay for $27 instead of looking around and found the S emblem for $25. Now, can you tell of a sport G35/G37 running on the street is a real sport one? I bet you cannot.
I posted this thread to ask for answers but there are fewer answers than questions and objections.

It seems as if you can buy the entire 'G35 S' emblem for $25 shipped from ebay and then you can try and sell the remaining new 'G35' on the forums for around ~$15 and someone might just pick it up
Dont take the objections personally i dont think anyone here is trying to be attacking, instead they are just voicing their opinions and letting you know that infiniti enthusiasts will know the difference(and they are correct) which is what forums are for and not everyone will agree with what you like. I personally think the difference in models is not grave enough for it to be an issue, its not like your slapping on a 'SS' badge on a regular chevy
At the end of the day its your money and your satisfaction that you need to look out for, i say do it!

Now I am wondering if my 2007 is a true "sport". It did not come with the "s" emblem but every time I buy parts or when I had to buy the offset tire sizes between the front and back they said it was a sport model. Hmmmmmm?
There was a Sport Wheel and Tire option which included just those.

So mine is just a Journey with a sport tire, wheel, and brakes upgrade. I just purchased my 2007 and a 2004 sedan as well. My 07 wasn't advertised as a sport but I ran into issues when I went to get tires and discovered inside the drivers door that it was labeled for two different sizes between the front and back. And they replaced the rear brake pads with the sport pads.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
If you badge your car as a sport model when it isn't you're a poser, plain and simple. Don't do it please.
