Where to buy the OEM Infiniti red "S" emblem?

There are some for sale on ebay for $25 which I don't think a fair price for a little emblem. Does anyone know where else I can look for that little red S? Is there any substitute from another automaker?

Infiniti doesn't sell the S seperately, so the $25 is a fair price,
I think I could have done the emblem for $27 shipped,
only other way, would be a salvage yard, or someone on here has an extra one laying around if you want to stick with OEM

Maybe the ones from the Toyota Corolla S are cheaper



( BTW, why do you want one?)

Im guessing he has a 2007-2008 non-S sedan. My advice would be to not buy that badge, leave it as is.

If you get the Red S you'll also have to get a new front bumper, bigger brakes, thigh bolstered seats, paddle shifters, sport pedals, and a limited slip differential~Or we will ALL laugh at you!

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.

If you want a cleaner look, debadge the G35 and call it a day.

I thought of doing that too but I saw someone in here got bad result when he tried to debadge his G35 badge. In the end, he had to repaint the trunk lid because of deep marks left by the badge.

If you have a journey, I wouldn't put the "S" on ... unless you also put GTR V-Spec Type R DOHC VTEC V8 TWIN TURBO AWD GT500 HEMI emblems on your car

Now that I give a thumbs up

If you take your time it shouldn't leave anything. Heat up the glue for the emblems with a hair dryer. Use unwaxed dental floss once the glue has softened and slowly work back and forth with a sawing motion. Remove excess glue with goo gone or something similar. Might need to touch up with a mild polish by hand to remove any light ghosting left behind.

whs^ Macguires Ultimate polish should clean everything up when you get the badges off. I left my Mt Fuji Emblem but removed everything else, looks much better IMO. And a helluvalot better than adding an S to a car that's posing as an S.

C'mon guys, give the guy a break. After all, think about what the '07's were originally sold as..

"Journey with Sport Package"

Deep inside, we're all journeys.

Phalanx, $25 isn't too bad. Back when i looked into creating fully custom emblems, it would've cost nearly $100/emblem in minimum quantities.
