but thats just me, im not into the whole JDM crave
Well that isn't the fault of a g35 owner. I would say be more open to what model cars are out there before referencing the high end GT-R. The other thing is a LOT Of Japanese "SKYLINE" owners are badging their cars "Infiniti" so how does that USDM argument go? I have traded my air bag cover, sunvisors, some other car badging to japanese owner and he works at NISSAN Japan.
So there goes 3/4 of the ricer, poser argumentive bs comments we hear on these forums....

So I guess"Rice" isn't defined well. What do you call the japanese rebadging to USDM "Potato"?

hmmm...i know i dont think of GT-R unless well...its accually a GT-R

if someone over here really gets confused between the new GT-R and a G35 rebadged Skyline, then im sorry but they really don't know much about cars...

I personally don't like the nissan badge, but i dont care about rebadging it's really the same car, but i HATE the nissan badge, god, the thing is uglier than sin, so if anything i'd have just SKYLINE 350GT and thats it...

I thought we are just talking about the front bumper here ??? like your thread said " GTR Frnt bumper " how do you call a bumper look alike a GTR on a G ? I called it "knock off design from the real Skyline GTR" ! not saying you did the copy, this is more towards the company that did this bumper, I hope you understand what i mean by that.

i love that R33 bumper on the prelude. i acutally had it on my prelude back in the day. nothing wrong with different bumper "look" on a g35. everyone is always trying to be different. some hate some jock.

does it really matter?

well it wasnt his thread genius,and he didnt say he has "gtr" he said hes going for the skyline look...which i mean, technically it is a skyline minus the RHD...but u seem to think different..just like the eagle talon and the eclipse are "different"...and yes this is a different country ...but wehere do you think your car was produced...AMERICA?..yeah because nissan/infiniti parts are made here.....
