if you want your car to stand out from other stock Gs, mod it, rims, exhaust, bodykit etc. I don't see how changing the badging will really stand you out. Mods stand out more than a few letters and emblems on the rear trunk. dont' loose sleep over it cuz chances are, nobody would even care to think "oh..that G looks different" just from the badging.

You guys get so worked up over badging. Personally I'm planning to leave only the Mt. Fuji emblem and put Skyline lettering beneath it, just because I like how it looks better than Infiniti lettering. Nothing more, nothing less.

I couldn't care less about RHD, keeping the brands separated, how there is no such thing as an Infiniti Skyline, etc. and I doubt anyone else on the road cares either, as long as you like it then do it.

When I have ppl enquire about my Skyline and is it real, I say no it's not real, its a Infiniti only cuz I bought it in the US and it's not a RHD, but it's the exact same car in Japan.
I tell them to google what it says on the back and they'll see the exact same car as mine.

Many ppl rebadge, debadge or change nothing for many reasons. Each to their own and to their reasons.

I did see the other day a Sicon xB with BMW badge on back and 'limited edition' emblem.... but thats different to what we're talking about imo.

My 2 cents?

If you're doing to do JDM badging DO IT ALL. Don't be like those people that put the Nissan Emblem on the rear but leave "INFINITI" I hate that. Do all nissan emblems, put the 350GT, change the steering airbag cover to Nissan, change the engine cover to the Nissan emblem. so forth if you get my drift.

If I were to do JDM badging, I'd do it right, meaning everything. The only things holding me back from doing it is the air bag cover on steering wheel, headrest, and clock (this one is to the extreme). I havent found the headrest and airbag cover anywhere.

The headrest doesn't have anything...its the actual backrest of the seat (which I forgot about) which would pretty much be impossible....Airbag cover....I think someone on here can get them. Someone gets a lot of JDM things.

Got my JDM airbag off on fleabay. Some dude in Japan has them. Most just sell the whole airbag, which only has one connection whereas ours has two.
If you can find just the cover, go for that cuz that what I had to do with mine, swap covers so my usdm air bag would still work.

The JDM digital clock and temp cluster has been hard to find. Found one while ago, but waay to much $$ so I passed.

I put the 350.gt badge on my gialla replica grill, but left the rear with just the infiniti logo. I guess I have best of both worlds

Cool


-I don't if those seats are stock on 350GT (I don't tink so), but if they are, I would take them any day.
-Look at the steering wheel, what do you see missing??

but to correct 2 things, you also have to add the engine cover to that list and the trunk mat says skyline, not nissan. oh plus the seats dont have any stiching on them in japan.
yea I forgot about the engine cover , as for the seats and trunk mat sorry if I was wrong, I never seen a "real" 350GT in person to know better.

I'm not a fan of the JDM digital clock, it looks cheap IMO.{Pic below}
