so thats when you say to them, "when you beat me on the track is when you can criticize my car."

take all the badging off of the both the G35 and 350GT and stick them side by side.....the only way youll be able to distinguish them is the RHD vs. LHD...nothing else.

if they dont know that the G35 is sold as the Skyline 350GT over seas, odds are that theyre not driving something that can outrun the G35. and if they are then you just ignore them or try to explain to them. but theyre probably driving a pos, so you wont have to worry about anything but challenging them to the track and that should shut their mouth.

isn't that a big deal? i mean.. if i wanted to convert my car to a RHD.. it would cost at least $5k?

the badges are like what? $20? the "real" deal is $5k... hmmm...

IMHO, if you change the badges on the outside, change everything on the inside too.

you do that, awesome.

you do just the outside, looks ricey.

I only think it's rice if it's mix and matched. I say if you put on one JDM badge, you better change out everything else. This includes:
Trunk, front grille, aluminum door sills, steering wheel cover, floor mats, and the seat stitching.
If you don't do that, your car is having an identity crisis.

I HATE it whenever I see a G35 that is re-badged to "SKYLINE 350GT" but still has the Mt. Fuji emblem.
If you re-badge to "SKYLINE 350GT", change your front grille emblem to the Nissan emblem or get a blank Gialla grille or an emblemless grill.
Also, don't go putting any GT-R badges on it. Yes, It's a "Skyline" in Japan, but it's no GT-R.
