Supercharged G35 Emblems.....
Alright guys, it's taken months of torment, but I finally think I've found the elusive perfect supercharged badge! I was looking for something that was subtle, yet catches attention, and fits perfectly with the stock badging and geometry of the car. GM used to add the suffix "SCT" (supercharged touring) to some of its concept cars. So with that precedent, and having Infinitis branded as "G35S" and "G37S", "G35sc" came to mind. I already had the badge mentioned earlier in this thread - used an exacto knife to cut out the "s" and "c" (somewhat brutal), then I noticed that the inner (now exposed) plastic was light gray, whereas the badge is chrome. So I bought some Krylon chrome spray paint and a tiny paint brush, and carefully painted the tiny "exposed" sections. It worked like a charm, it literally looks just like chrome, and you can't see that it's been painted unless you're 2 inches away.
I think it flows beautifully with the geometry of the trunk and stock badging.
EDIT: note how the "s" and "c" are almost at the perfect angle following the "5" and flowing with the edge of the trunk by the tail light.
