Default Infinity Skyline?

Saw a G35 today with a Skyline badge on the back of it. To me, I think this is the same thing like a GK owner putting a Tuscani badge on their car. Anyone agree?

I guess the same could be said about Integra owners putting Type R badges on their car, when its not a real Type R. or Mustang owners putting a Saleen or Cobra badge on their car. Or G-TR badges, and so on! dunno.gif

A skyline isn't anything special

It's like getting impressed by a neon, lancer, or a impreza

Jdm sucks

Yeah, it's a bit silly (which is what I feel about Tuscani badging also) but it's fine if you want to do it to your car. I don't think it's anything like misbadging an Integra a Type R or a regular Mustang as a Cobra though since the G35 = JDM Skyline. If they put a GT-R badge on it though, that's just weak.

The Infiniti G35 has a model called the Skyline, I think it has upgrades compared to the regular G35, like Brembo brakes and whatnot.

Infiniti doesn't have a "Y" in it.
