+1 for the Skyline 350GT rebadge.
We're driving a Nissan Skyline, rebadged as a Infinity G35

Great point!!! Nissan finally got there **** together and finally decided to brand the GT-R in the US a Nissan the way it should be!!!!

Also to the guy that said "40k???? mine was 35k" well dont compare your base model to my fully loaded S.

What you're doing is still cheesy and ricey.

Enjoy.
Infiniti - Nissan, and Toyota - Lexus groupers are completely different than the Audi-Lamborgini-VW group, since in Japan There is little or no difference betweenn the infiniti- nissan, adn toyota-lexus cars. The Audi-lamborginia-vw cars are all designed completely differently, sometimes sharing parts in common and all simply owned by the same company.

What you still know, is nothing

Okay,as of 2003 the g35 was considered the next skyline. it's listed on japanparts that way as well,which if you go to,is a completely jdm parts co. So I'm guessing that because you guys feel this way,we should rebdage the Gallardo with VW badges haha. I have skyline,I'm taking off the rest when I get it done,and striping the other badges,and I think it looks good so go for it.

+1000. The R8 is pretty quick though. Take a look at them chief. They were designed completely differently for different markets, and they look NOTHING alike. Just because Audi owns Lamborgini doesn't mean it uses the same exact cars.

I've never liked that one. I wouldn't change the Infiniti emblems at all, except for the lettering of infiniti for skyline and the g35 to the 350gt

This would be more proper to go with the "Skyline" lettering, but the "burger" emblem really isn't much of a design. Changing the "Nissan" lettering and it could be an emblem for any car company.
