^Thx BL, do you think the letters should be lined up (parallel) with the top or bottom border of the grille??
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
I like it out of all the options you have shown there. Is it me or does the lettering seems just a tad crooked? It could just be the angle and my eyes after too much whiskey.
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"...

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

I stopped at the grocery store on the way home today for a few things, and when I came out, something caught my eye. I had parked away from any cars, and my front wheels were turned towards the drivers side, which I was approaching from the front, at a slight angle.
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

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.

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

(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.
