hahahah. gotta love that.
Gary, can you post a few pics of your car? I bet it looks super clean with your color.
Honestly, what i'm thinking about doing is debadging it and putting it on my gialla grill. I've always liked that look in the front, and besides it'll be an upgrade to my lame engine cover mt fuji badge that i bought for $4
And if you're worried about the shadows, my car was 5 years old when I first debadged everything else, and there were shadows - but after cleaning and letting a few weeks pass it disappeared. Just gotta let it adapt I guess.
I'll probably debadge it sometime today when the sun gets out and i'll post pics Thanks guys!

Eh. I think it only looks good on metallics and black. If it's a custom color, possibly, depending on how dark the paint is.

As for HAVING to 'rebadge' the interior and move the driver's seat to the right side in order to BE a Skyline, I also respectfully disagree.
IMHO, the G35 IS a rebadged Skyline, so re-rebadging as a Skyline is only trying to make it what it really is.
Count the number of parts stamped with Infiniti and then count the number of parts stamped with Nissan.
Modifying a car with rims, drop, custom paint, debadge, rebadge is just artistic expression of the owner and will always be judged by others.
just my .02

I guess it's all about pride. Look what I've got! Look at ME!!!
However, does the Chevy Tahoe have a racing heritage?
Does the G?
Does the Skyline?
See the direction I'm headed....would rather my G be associated with high performance racing heritage as opposed to over priced "Infiniti Buying Experience", marketing ploy to the US consumers.
And, no I do not think I would rebadge an Escalade to be a Chevy Tahoe.....
However, I would buy a Tahoe before an Escalade anyway.....just me.
Actually, for 4x4 purposes my 01 Pathy 4x4 5MT with LSD was AWESOME on the sands of the NC Beaches!!!!! I would get another Pathy before those above anyways.
just my .02 and honestly not worth that in this economy....

I enjoy seeing G's badged/debadged/rebadged and understand it's all preference.
Basically, I don't have the energy to mess with either of mine.
I just got my daughter's 00 Max ready for another winter in the NC mountains at ASU (jr year). And am getting my son's Furd Focus ready for his sr year in HS.....with 4 cars to care for it's all about maintenance these days.
Also, have heard that the authorities will pull you for having a tag not matching the vehicle (rebadged) and I'm not giving them any reasons to pull me even tho I'm legal. They pulled me years ago the day after I traded my 97 cobra for a 01 pathy. Threatened to arrest me cause my tag showed it belonged on a 97 mustang. Had to argue with the noob about the sales receipt being a temp reg. in the state of NC.....small town police...

The previous owner of my G debadged the "G35" and "Infiniti" off the trunk, which looks pretty good and I kept it that way. Before this one, I had an '01 Celica GTS that was debadged and the "Celica" engraving or whatever above the trunk handle was filled in, which made it look really clean.
