everything
I guess Ill never get rebadging. I had some kid came up to me a while back and ask me if my car was a Skyline. I said no, its an Infiniti G35. I dont get who youre trying to impress/fool/confuse with badges that didnt come/dont belong on the car....

Obviously Nissan owns Infiniti... and its their luxury brand here, but if the US version were meant to have Nissan and Skyline badges on it, dont you think it would come from the factory that way? A RHD Nissan Skyline is sold in Japan and Europe, not the US.

Id rather tell someone I own an Infiniti than a Nissan anyways. Ill just continue to point and laugh when people misbadge their cars, no matter what make or model they are or are pretending to be

Misbadging ranks right up their with cutting your OEM springs or putting stick on hood scoops/vents all over your car.... There's always those few who think its "cool" but in reality the majority of the rest of us are wondering WTF was that guy thinking.

Well, if anyone IS thinking about rebadging, I have all of the emblems in stock for pretty cheap.
Give me a shout if you have any questions!

This is absolutely right. 100% right. I got no problem rebadging as well. SKYLINE? It doesn't have to be GTR. Skyline GTS. Skyline 350GT is our car. Skyline 370GT is the G37. They are all Skyline. Only ppl with no knowledge about cars will come up to you and ask is this a real Skyline, they dont even look at the 350GT. They freak out when they see the SKYLINE badges and come up and ask. I wouldn't bother to answer their question since it is unanswerable. Yes, I call it Skyline, but other ppl dont call it Skyline. So which one is the right answer?

Ricer? ehhh, I dont think rebadging to Skyline 350GT is Ricer. Do you call ppl with Black chrome Infiniti, Mt Fuji, and G35 badges ricer as well? Do they get power from those Black chromed badges? Hell NO.

Do you have a ztube on your car? Aftermarket rims obviously. I didnt know they came from the factory like that.

I'm in Australia and I just bought an imported V35 skyline, Nissan never sold the v35 here. i kind of want to put Infiniti badges on it because I don't like the weaboo rice culture of older model skyline owners around here. But at the same time rebadging is kinda the definition of rice and people will always be like what is infiniti.. Opinions?
