Engine cover logo emblem missing!

I know this happens to pretty much everyone but didn't really see a comprehensive solution yet.
I know I could spend a bunch of money and buy the whole cover WITH the emblem on it, but that seems excessive.

I read somewhere that a Infiniti QX4 emblem fit perfectly, but I don't know if it is the front or rear one.

Can anyone help?

No one post because no one can help. Buy a new or used engine cover with emblem intact. Add your favorite adhesive to ensure it never happens again. Or you be the Guinea Pig and try the emblem your referring to. Report back let us know how that goes.

I bought a cheap, used cover off eBay for 20 bucks with free shipping. Popped off the emblem, dabbed some JBWeld on it and popped it back. Damn thing will never pop off again.

Cheaper and less risk than trying a unknown fit.

I am seriously considering getting a 3D Printer to make some.

Wonder how many people would buy them and what would you pay?

You might sell some until people find the right logo that fits and then your business will fall.

The rear logo of the v35 chassis fits decently. you can see the mold in the inside of the fiji but you can fill it in.

I just got a guy to "carefully measure" the one he had for sale on fleaBay.
NOPE. He said it is 5 13/16 X 3 1/2 and that is WAY too big.

I measured the space and found it to be pretty close to 4 1/8 X 2 1/4

VERY nice! I also like the strut tower reinforcement. I don't find the front end needs stiffening like my Mustang did, but it looks amazing!

Found my emblem sitting on top of upper rad hose a while back. Super glued that sucker back on the engine cover, so far so good.

Eventually it will come loose again I am sure. Don't think the glue can't hold up with all that heat.
