Nissan Emblem?
This may sound funny, but I think this looks better on the coupes than on the sedans.
Plus, we pay good money for the upscaled Infiniti. Most people don't have a clue what a Nissan Skyline is and they just see the Nissan badge... it's like shaving $10K off your car's value.
If you're gonna do this, you need to do it all and all at once. Inside and out, right down to the clock and airbag.... everything.
The half done look just doesn't work for me. I'm not bashing though. If you like it, then that's cool.
Oh BTW, the car will cruise along better if you put the wheels back on.

I would -
A) remove the Skyline, keep the 350GT
B) Install the Nissan emblem front AND rear.
To all the haters, i'd rather role in a Skyline than a G anyday. You're kidding yourselves saying you drive a G and not a Skyline.
on a side note >
funny how this car is essentially what a G35/G37 coupe was 30+ years ago

my thoughts on the 'shaving 10k off the value'..
the people that dont know that it's produced as a skyline in japan, and the ones that cant comprehend it when i tell them, dont really f*cking matter.
especially being in a hick town in eastern texas right outside houston. i cant tell you how many times i've had my 'winder' down and heard-
'jimbob wat in tha heeelllll is a dang sky-leen?'
so f*ck 'em, the ones that understand will appreciate it, right? haha (:

IMO if you're doing the Skyline thing, you need to do it 100% or not at all.
...interior & exterior; ALL badges exactly as per JDM car.
but the sticker is still

I have a BIG azz chop saw.....
...could be tough to re-mount though.
...but, then, it'd look pretty funny going down the road
with the co-pilot manning the wheel & the driver operating the pedals.

I don't know about you guys but Skylines have always been in both RHD and LHD. Only the R32/33/34 did not come LHD from factory. All the previous GT variants came with both options.

Jeesh
I'd LOVE a right side drive Skyline.
That would be super cool to have.

I'd love one too, except I virtually live in drive-thrus, that would be pretty darnn inconvenient
Imagine the looks you'd get rolling through a drive-thru backwards.
