debadging the G...yes or no?

At the very least the infiniti lettering has to go. For me I like my rear to look symmetrical..so I took off both the infiniti and g37s badge. If you hand wash your car it makes washing the rear so much easier without the emblems. Do what you think looks the best. Also if you want it back on you can put it back on. You don't need to buy new emblems.

ya, there isn't much distinguishing an IPL besides the IPL badge...and about 2hp lol. i'd keep it on there, but then again, that's the same thing as saying i'd keep the S on my g, since it's a sport model. maybe just go all in and take it all off?
you could always just buy new badges, they don't cost too much. IFF you regret debadging that much

Yeah the styling differences are subtle. I disagree that it would.be the same as leaving the s badge on as i think the ipl is a little more exclusive.. whether the price difference for the peformance gains is justifiable is a different discussion. I do think just leaving on the ipl would be asymmetrical

can the logo also come off without leaving any holes on the back? I have a white one and it looks clean with everything off but I assumed there was going to be a hole or two under the logo.

Absolutely yes! It looks so much cleaner without all the emblems. At first I took everything off the trunk lid except for the Infiniti logo, but after having the car for a while I noticed that a lot of road grime and debris gets stuck on the paint in between the openings of the logo. I got tired of having to used a small toothbrush to clean in between the logo so I just took the logo off too. No regrets...Much easier to clean/wax and it's always fun when someone comes up to me and says, "Wow what kind of car is that???" lol
Here's the other factor, what about when you go to sell your car??? A lot of people who buy a luxury car want the badges on. It is a big PITA to put them back on.

With the emblems on...yes, because it's very difficult to detail around the letters and in between the openings of the logo. Debadged...piece of cake! I use Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant...that stuff is a gift from god! It lasts for about 6 months and it keeps the paint surface extremely smooth and clean. But whenever some dirt or debris gets stuck on the paint I just go over it with a claybar.

I took of all my emblems on my g37 except the Infiniti logo and it looks clean and it also makes the rear end of the car look wider. I would take the emblems off if I were you.
