Engine cover emblem replacement

I notice that several people have lost their chrome emblem on their engine cover. Mine finally bit the dust after some hard back road driving. Infiniti doesn't sell the emblem separately, you have to purchase the entire cover. Is the best solution to spring for the carbon fiber cover and just purchase an aftermarket infiniti logo and stick it on? If the OEM cover wasn't recessed, that what I'd do with this one. I'd like to hear some thoughts, thanks.

It really stinks that the Infiniti emblems are made of plastic and held in place by tiny plastic "pins" while the JDM version- the same damn cover- has the Nissan emblem made of metal and held tightly in place by thick metal "tabs" (at least mine does).

Plenty of options: used cover off eBay, junkyard emblems (some say the G35 fits decently), custom plates/decals. etc. Just a matter of finding what works for you. Do a search and you will find plenty of options/fixes. If you do get a cheap cover or emblem off eBay (like I did once) be sure to remove/reapply the emblem using a good epoxy (I used JBWeld).

Good luck!

I too went down this path, unfortunately no other emblem interchanges.

Options are:
Buy a used cover and transfer it.
Sticker
3d Print

I used super glue to glue it back on the engine cover.

Engine cover emblem

I have a 2011 G25, my daughter made an emblem on her 3D printer, it's a small printer so she made it in 2 parts, I have the measurements if you need it.

I hunted down a used engine cover on Ebay with the emblem, popped it off and then glued it back on with JB Weld. It's been on there for probably close to five years now. Whatever emblem solution you think looks best is fine, just make sure you use a strong adhesive and you should be golden.

Bought an unfinished 3D printed version off ebay for $20. Really hate the chrome accents on the car and this one can be painted. Will be glued on for sure.

I did the same. Years later, still secure. Wasn't there a guy on here 3D printing these in different colors?

Since this situation is a known problem, some years back I got proactive about it and removed the FUJI, reapplied with new adhesive.

If anyone still has their engine cover emblem and is worried about it falling off... this might not be a bad idea.

I used JB Weld as well and you'd need a chisel to get that thing off now.
