JDM Rebadge might not be too bad lol

I've been alternating between being for and against rebadging my new G35 with Skyline 350GT badges. I like the idea of having people asking me what the hell a Skyline is...but rebadging kinda reminds me of the whole "JDM iz tyte" craze. My homeboy called me today saying he saw a 660HP twin turbo Nissan Skyline. At first, I thought he was talking about a GTR, but then he mentioned it had the same body style as a G35 and was "converted" to LHD. I knew right off the bat it was just a TT G35 with a rebadge. My friend, however, had no clue. He's definitely into cars like I am, so it was kind of funny and sad at the same time to see him so stoked about seeing a Skyline. Here comes the killer: The guy was selling this "Skyline" for 125k... and he's actually getting serious offers of around 60-75k. JDM Rebadge FTMFW

Is there really a real defineable reason we want to put it on our cars? I'm gonna do it just because I like the name Skyline a lot better than G35, but that's only if I don't fully debadge.

While this may not fly in an area where the general population has a keen knowledge of JDM vs. USDM, rebadging may actually add a few thousand dollars to the car's value lol.

I like my V35 badges. I tell peeps when they ask to google what mine says and you'll see the same car, except mine is the North America Infiniti G35 version that's LHD not RHD. Plus Nissan makes Infiniti like Honda makes Acura, Toyota makes Lexus...then they understand, well most do after that lol.

The name "Skyline" grew way too big.
Its just the name of the series like 3-series, C-class etc.
