To DeBadge or Not To DeBadge

So, I'm a new G35X owner as of Saturday. Picked up a used 2007 G35X with about 30K on the clock and have a smile from ear to ear so far with my first 300 miles. I'm a convert from the VW community and VWVORTEX since my previous get up was a 01 Jetta VR6 which I loved to death but it was time for an upgrade. So my question is that it is big and I'm a fan of debadging and was thinking about taking off the G35x and Infinit lettering from the rear deck lid. What are your thoughts on the look of this? Also I'm going to tint the windows relatively soon and not sure what the stock window tint is? Does anyone know, I don't want to get a fine and repair order for going over the limit by a few points. Thanks for any input!

B

I plan on doing the same thing with mine. As soon as I get some time the G35 and Infiniti lettering are gone.

Definitely debadge the rear. Take out all of the lettering but keep the emblem. It will look 100x better. There's a few picture threads out there to help you with your decision.

I just got mine as well, strip'm off and leave Mt. Fuji, I've heard if you remove it then there will be 2 holes in your trunk. Everything must go! Anyone know if theres a Nissan badge for the rear that will fill the 2 holes?

Definitely tweak the badging in the rear. IMO keep the "INFINITY" and Mt. Fuji emblems. Makes it easier for chicks to identify the kind of car you drive as opposed to just seeing an emblem. Otherwise they might confuse your ride for something like an Oldsmobile, Hyundai, etc., and therefore it might take a bit longer to get in their pants.

Whoa... was I wrong in saying that?!?!
