Well here's my .02 cents. I have the badges on my 04. front grill. all rear badges however i'm contemplating taking off the 350gt badge. We do have the same car they have in japan regardless of opinion on the matter. We live in a country where we drive on the left side of the car. I don't know how many of you have driven a RHD car here but its not the most fun thing in the world. I've driven an imported R33 GTR and some RHD swapped 240's. It's doable but difficult cause of the way our roads are. Where the steering wheel sits does not change what the car is. The only reason Infinity exists here is to have a "luxury" line to make us idiot Americans spend more money thinking we got something special. There are only two reasons I bought this car. One because it was the only American version of the skyline and two because I'm 21 and am tired of having the flashy sports cars that attract police attention. Cops barely look twice at my car now. But it can still outrun them. So it all comes down to personal preference, if you want to re-badge do it. I've found that the best thing to come from it is being in a car show and everyone hovering over it saying "oh my god, look its a skyline. Hey come here look at this." Cause apparently people don't pay enough attention to what a g35 looks like. lol

Less badging = less places for dirt to hide, less things that give mineral-filled water places to cozy up against the paint, and it just looks cleaner.

I have mind debaged except for the emblem. The only look I would go for from the JDM side is just the GT emblem and putting that where the emblem was.

I honestly hate when people do that to the G35. It is what it is an infiniti not anything else. And if your going to do it then you have should put the Nissan hamburger on it because infiniti does not make a 350GT

I agree with him 100%

Back on topic though, I'm not a fan of re-badging but if you think it looks good DOOOO IT. People tell me all the time to debadge but I think it looks hot exactly how it is.

give me the link to "Infiniti Manufacturer" NOT NISSAN, & I'll take ALL Nissan parts of my car, cuz YOU said "Infiniti does not make a 350GT". Infiniti don't make jack she-it...

Why people wanna decrease the looks of the car by putting a nissan hamburger on it is beyond me. Meh!!! The name is what separates the 2, keep it that way, regardless if it's essentially the same car. Thats like calling a male a female, it's essentially the same thing, just has a ding dong and no breasts lulz

My 2 cents:

You're not in Japan. Unless your "350GT" is right-hand drive, having JDM badges is meaningless. But hey, it's your car not mine. Do as you wish.

On my coupe I have skyline 350gt on the rear with GTR style overlays on the taillights, the front is a Ionic grill (gialla) with 350GT on it. I have people at red lights take pictures and flag me down asking what kind of car im driving all the time and I think its hilarous. If your gonna do it, know that people are gonna ask. I just tell people the car is japanese then I drive away.

Do not mismatch them, ie Fuji with skyline under it. Go all the way either way you choose. And no one cares that your steering wheel has a different emblem, thats what window tint is for.
