Any time man :P
To answer the question about why people debadge:
Some don't like giving more credit to the company than they deserve (you can argue against this all you want with your remarks such as `oh but they made the car suck it up, bla bla` but in the end your thought process isn't the same as another's).
Once you mod your car the way you want it, there's a personal attachment to it, you feel that you deserve the credit and not the company. You may also prefer a cleaner back.
Lets get back to what "rice" is. If you're not aware it does stand for something (Race inspired cosmetic enhancements) which can be interpreted as putting mods on your car to make it look faster than it actually is. I don't see how changing the color of emblems falls into this category.
I've said it before, people have their own personal opinions, I have nothing wrong with that. When people justify their opinion as fact, well that's when it gets annoying.
Just do you! If you like it, more power to you!

I'm not sure what your angle is on picking apart spelling/ grammar but I would suggest using appropriate capitalization in your sentences before doing so.
Back on topic.
To the OP,
I would leave the IPL badge on and leave it as is. It's what distinguishes your car from a standard G37 or G37S.
I would have left the "fuji" emblem chrome and the G37S badge on but I think it also looks good with just the IPL and "fuji" badge. I like the "INFINITI" delete.

Forgive my "macho" stance on this but all of that spell checking of other members is female ish! I thought we were talking cars. MEN stuff.
If people want to cut and paste spelling errors, they need to go grade some term papers or something. At least do it for money, lol.

HA! Thats a great perspective, bro!
I've never heard that acronym before. I think that makes the r-word pretty clear. And debadging is definitely not rice like I said before. However, I never use it anyway because I actually thought it was a racial slur after the rise of the super slow but loud civic lol.
I still wouldn't take the Infiniti badge off. I paid too much money for all of that. Maybe it I got a better deal lol.

it was also meant to be taken in a sarcastic sense.
op, s'all good. let us know when you drop it!
Wow. How did this thread become a rice vs. not rice thread. And when did debadging a vehicle become rice all of a sudden. And smoked taillights too? Some like'em bone stock I suppose. Anyway, if you want rice here's some for ya:
AMEN!

I didn't know rice was an acronym. Thanks for that. It somehow now seems like less of a racial slur. Never did like to use it, but it's hard to avoid it on car forums.
I don't know that debadging is so much about not wanting to give credit for the car manufacturer, it's usually done to clean up the lines. Look at your car. How many infinity symbols do you see? Does your car really need to be advertising for Infiniti? Would you wear a pair of pants that had 18 levi's tags on them? Again, the car wasn't designed that way, the badges are nothing more than Infiniti marketing.
Keep 'em if you like 'em, delete 'em if ya don't.
