    With a lack of another option in the poll, I guess it would be a poser. You bought your car as an Infiniti G35. You placed Skyline Badges on your car to give the impression that it's a Skyline. It is NOT a Skyline. Therefore, by default, you come out as a poser. It doesn't mean I don't like the car, I just think it's funny when people put badges on their car and tell people that's what they have and call it that. Acura folks do that. Place H emblems on their car and call them Honda Integras. Later, QD.

    so in that case whats the difference between having a U.S.D.M title that says "Acura Integra Type R" and a J.D.M title that says "Honda Integra Type R?" does it make people "posers" when they put H badges on a U.S.D.M ITR when they are basically the same car with some changes between them??? !

    I agree with you but I also have other thoughts on it. Acura and Infinity are nothing but marketing scheme's in America to sell more cars. RSX's and G35's are nothing but Honda's and Nissan's badged in a way to make American's believe they are truly individualistic of their mother brand when they are one brand everywhere else. They were designed by honda/nissan, funded by hondad/nissan, built almost identically and just re-badged for marketing sake. They are the same car...just about. In that respect I don't have any hate for people who do it but I just wouldn't do it myself.

    Well, it is just marketing for nissan to set the V35 skyline to be a infiniti G35 to make people feel it is a more luxury car. It is like you whether tell people you drive a toyota or lexus, same with infiniti and nissan, and honda and acura.
    The car's chassis code is V35, which is the nissan skyline in Japan, or Infiniti in North America. There is nothing wrong if the people put the parts from the same car from the other side of the world into their car, since they are technically the same car. The name of the car on the title doesn't mean anything, it is just how the dmv wants call or identify the car. If you want to check out the integra, it does use the name of Honda on various parts of the car, so nothing wrong with the H emblem on integra.
    About the tag, the 350 tt doesn't fit, unless it is twin turbo setup.
