I wouldn't say you debadged, I'd say you rebadged.

Not a fan of debadging/rebadging. Pointless. Those who matter know, those who don't, who cares? They wouldn't get it anyway, which is obvious by your story.

Having said all that, I'll only add that I'm less of a fan of clueless gas attendants.

don't worry everyone has their own taste whether they like rebadging or not who cares as long as you like what you've done to YOUR car, and if people don't even know what G35 is then the aren't even worth getting mad or worked up about.

This is kind of a oxymoron to me.

I would rather have someone say "Hey nice Acura" to me than "Hey nice Nissan".

Rebadging and "downgrading" to a Nissan badge is soo _________.....

debadging does it for me (everything but mt fuji)

negatory on the debadging unless you go ALL out like kurtis and do everything (inside and out)
