^Nissan made it a G35 here, not a 350gt though.

I like the debadge to. Not a fan of rebadges...

For all the debadge haters, I know you like to believe in the Infiniti mystique, but your car was/is sold as a Nissan Skyline 350/370GT in Japan.

Current Models on Nissan's website:
Sedan
Coupe

take the time to actually TAKE THE TOUR. the Skyline is actually less like the G than you think... the transmission, the setup of the middle console area, the grill, and the fact that it is offered with A DIFFERENT ENGINE in addition to the VQ35 make it quite a different car.

however i do agree that rebadging looks very sexy when done right... as does debadging.

any other picts that people can post with various forms of rebadges would be helpful (I think we all know what debading looks like).

Funny thing is, we are in the US. Did you know that in parts of central america, Acura is branded Honda? ie Honda Legend. I wonder how the Acura owners fell about that, granted it's the same company just the upscale division.

Not a fan of rebadging, kind of reminds me of those that would put gt emblems on a v6 mustang or cobra-emblems, hood, bumpers etc on a GT mustang.

As far as debadging, I've seen some that look good with the infiniti removed and mt fuji left on and thats ok--but when its all nekid , I'm not feeling that...and yes I've seen some that look decent--but I guess what I'm saying is I would NOT rebadge and probably never debadge.

My vote is to Debadge EVERYTHING, or leave JUST the infiniti symbol. Not a fan of the whole "SKYLINE 350GT" badging.
