Now shit......if there was one JDM car I would have wanted it would have been the 2JZ-GTE Aristo.

What I am saying is after 2005, it makes NO sense to re-badge any new Lexus it's JDM name b/c they stopped using them.

**ahmonrah** · 10-08-2006, 09:44 PM

personally, i'm de-badging my shit. not that it's a topic in this thread, but as far as rebadging....just make sure with the badges, come the parts...

So true. Gotta remember, everyone else sees it as a status symbol.....I've never seen a de-badged Escalade.

With you here, I actully much prefer it with the Nissan Skyline badges. If you even look inside the car, the center console was never changed for the LHD market, that is why all the major knobs are on the right side of the console, away from our drivers...(cost cutting)

Dead serious, go inside anyone and look. Notice how knobs in cars are towards the driver. In teh G35/Skyline, those knobs on the right side, are find, for the Skyline in Japan, since its RHD there. They didn't bother to move it to the left for America. Also if you notice the seats, that is why the controls are on the inside(And a paint to use). They just swapped out the 2 seats for the controls.
Still a good car though!!!

I agree completely, that wouldn't deter me from buying one, it's just dissapointing that they would skimp like that. Just kinda reinforces the fact that it's still just a Nissan.

**RISKYB** · 10-09-2006, 12:06 AM

it is what it is, unless you do a full swap and are looking for show points, but dont sell the image for what it isnt say its really an acura with a swap

**Julio** · 10-09-2006, 12:47 AM

I dont care if is the same car.. is lame to do. If you wanna be so JDM or whatever it is, ship yourself back to whatever country you want your car to be.
I guess live and learn.

Double-edged sword, isn't putting german-style plates on a us car kinda the same thing?

**YokotaS13** · 10-09-2006, 03:04 AM

i voted nice, only becuase i haev a 240 rear garnish, s15 hood emblem, and Ks side emblems on the way lol

**40th GT** · 10-09-2006, 10:03 AM

Wow we have an even 50/50.

BTW, I voted nice. I like lookin at those red badges and "Fairladys" on Z cars.

Not really.. The tag is not a representation of the actual vehicles trim.

Most German cars, are actually made in Germany , not in mexico,canada or anything like that. They are actually really imported in to the U.S.

I have one making fun of something. Not w/ numbers or characters like some people do... will I ever do a euro tag like that? prolly not.

But, Anyways, Next time you try to put me on the spot do a little more research

How am I supposed to do research on a subjective matter? I wasn't putting you on the spot, I love the tag and I think the German-style tags add another ounce of character to most German cars. I was merely remarking on the fact that someone putting Honda emblems on their Integra (never did it on mine, but mine was in fact assembled and shipped from Japan) is similar to putting a German tag on a US spec German car.

Because is 2 diffrent subjects. If this thread was tittled " JDM TAGS OR EURO TAGS OR OTHER COUNTRY TAG, it would be a diffrent story.

A tag has nothing to do with a cars trim... You know a euro car when you see one, it doesnt take a tag to realize that...
You put a Skyline badge on a g35, you thinking you have a TRUE skyline. you dont...
See what i mean ?

I see where you're coming from and I agree with you on the badging a g35 as a skyline and stuff like that.

**Ran** · 10-09-2006, 01:42 PM

I agee up to a level on rebadging. On the G35, if I see a Skyline GT350 badge set then it's alright with me since they're essentially the same car. Just a dash and steering swap. Now if they slap a GT-R badge on it, then that's pushing it.

**Master Shake** · 10-09-2006, 01:46 PM

this reminds me of a guy here in rome. drives an acura integra gs with a gsr swap and type r conversion front end. has the honda prelude emblems on it. makes me wanna jack his car and park it in the top of a tree.

its an acura....D.A.
