^Thx BL, do you think the letters should be lined up (parallel) with the top or bottom border of the grille??

Is say if you have to put anything on the grill there, do the G37S. Just the S itself makes me thing off the corolla "S"...
Letters were just placed on, not stuck on, so yea it was probably a little off

Corolla S thought crossed my mind, checked it out, at least they don't come with grille badge

They should be level. So neither top nor bottom, although it looks like top.

I can't believe I like this, but I really do. Good for you taking it to this level just to check it out.

There was something yellow poking out, clearly visible from between the tire and fender lip. And something red, hidden lower....it was like vehicular hooters

And then as I got closer, those lovely 4 piston calipers....



And I did, exiting the parking lot, redline in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd My well worn rear tires generate some pretty good wheel spin going into 3rd
Hmm I never got mine to spin in 3rd. weird

I agree w/ John, I think you pretty much nailed it w/ the placement, and having it to the right side of the emblem sort of completes the story since you have the car make followed by the model. Don't think it would come together as well on the left side of Mt. Fuji. Also having it more or less centered (top to bottom) gives the whole look from the front more cohesion.

I like it. Especially the last two. Just for curiosity sake what would the "G37S" look like in the same spot but on the other side of the grille?

Is the Fuji logo always that big? I think it would look better as is with the letters to the right but with a smaller logo if they make one. Looks good regardless.

Thanks for the feedback & suggestions! Will try the full G37S emblem for a while

And yes the Fuji is slightly larger than the one in the OEM grille, and honestly I think the size of it is perfect

Yea was about to say, the larger emblem allows you to add the G37s Emblems , otherwise they would look about the same size. Looking Good OP!

(I think the left side would be a better fitment)

I've enjoyed reading you guys critique on the placement of StTown's G37 emblem in the grille. I think the Mt. Fuji absolutely helps pull it back to more of a factory look-- a more subdued version of the optional grille from the QX60 comes to mind for me. It's looking great!

Had a coworker of mine mind boggled at the fact the G can hit 0-60 in 5.1 seconds and run close to mid 13's stock (he thought it was some run of the mill 4 door sedan that I bought just for the fact I had 2 kids to haul around now). That's one of the reasons I love the G, very unassuming but still packs a punch.

That could be, in part, because there are a ton of G37 sedans around, at least here, and almost none of them are being driven in a way that could be described as fun. I saw an old couple who could barely walk climb into a G37xs the other night and proceed to drive as Old folk often do. I am not gonna lie it made me a bit sad.

Yeah, most people like that would be better off in a camry but a lot of times these sedans are bought for the mere name and not the actual performance.
