It's your car and your preference.

In my opinion re-badging is perfectly acceptable when the only differences between the two models are options (Home-link mirror, navigation) in our case.

Japanese cars are quite common down there so an Infiniti badge may be a pretty cool mix.

putting skyline badges on your car is like putting a shift boot on your automatic gear selector.

G35 Coupe
I did the badge swap.

I say if youre going to do it, go all the way.

I changed my airbag cove, wheel caps, door sills, engine cover, painted the clock so its just all black changed the front grill emblem and put skyline 350gt on the back and switched out the floor mat.

Some really clueless people here.

I hope you realize the assembly line in Tochigi looked like this LHD RHD LHD LHD RHD LHD RHD RHD.

If its made in the same plant with the same parts, its the same fvcking car. Rebading is not making someone that its not. Go look at your VID badge. Try and find out if your car is a G35 or 350GT.

Maybe I feel differently because I have a 6MT. As much as people would deny it, the transmission DOES make this car.

I think Shinichiro Sakurai is probably turning in his grave. Seems now a days ANY modification to a car is now considered "Rice". I heard RICE was a Really Immature Car Enthusiast.

Not to be funny but I think my 03 6mt is ABSOLUTELY a nissan. Inifiniti is a luxury brand and if you drive a 03 G35 coupe you know that MUTHAFUGGA drives like a sports car....a 4 seat 350Z. I believe the the 02-03 model "Skyline" (because the car came out a year earlier in Japan) is classified as the V35. Thats is the infiniti g35 here. And if you really want to get technical OUR cars are rebadged. Some people are just putting back the correct badges. Look people, rebadging is a preference pure and simple. For one glorious year we have the honor of being owners of geniune Skylines. If you notice, the new "Skyline" is called the GTR....and theres your difference. Now can we get back to eye-humping each others cars?? Geez....
