yea if you are a common tool! it looks ridiculous and anyone that knows what the japanese counterpart is knows that the 350z wouldnt be the japanese equivalent. just a bunch of ricer fanboys. just like our sentra SE-R customers putting on GT-R badges when they should be making balloon animals.

I understand the skyline badges on the G's but those badges on a Z make no sense.

In japan a g35 is a Nissan Skyline 350GT.. Just like how the acura RL is the Honda Legend type thing/ Toyota soarer etc..

People put the Jdm badges on as a mod.. I think it's tacky.. There are always arguements about this on the G35 forums.

On a 350z though? Ummm just no.

I don't think it's very common to see G's with the skyline badge. Only one I've seen is on my buddy's G. It's super clean

The skyline in japan is a family car... always was, always will be, only the R32/33/34 versions were sports cars, but there are WAY MORE non R type cars.

I've seen Fairlady Z badges here in CA, but surprisingly not that many Skyline-badged G35/37s.

Imagine all the badges and other things you need to change to look authentic JDM, from the wheel caps and front grille to the steering wheel logo...and your owner's manual too.

I've never seen a Z with G badging, even on the forums. Plenty of FairladyZ for the Z and Skyline 350GT for G though.
