Ive never seen a Skyline air bag cover, just Infiniti, Nissan, or Custom

Nissan would be fine. Where can I find one of those? I have the distributor who has the Skyline kickplates trying to track one down for me.

They show up on JapanAuctionParts from time to time. Like this one sold for $150 shipped for example SOLD!!! #OEM JDM V36 Nissan Skyline (Infiniti G37) airbag cover. Absolutely mint condition, no knick - japan_auction_parts

Received it in the mail today, from a Nissan dealership through eBay. And wouldn't you know it, they sent me the wrong one. They sent me the first gen sedan emblem. The font is similar, but still noticeably different. And the spacing is way too tight.

These are the wrong trousers, Grommet.

Ha ha, nice reference to Grommet. Bummer about the wrong emblem. I think you are right to keep the Fuji badge. I looked at some pics today of JDM Skyline 370GT sedans and the Nissan badge on the front and the back just looks weird to me.

I did find a place that makes 370GT floor mats. This means I should be able to get all the appropriate pieces if I want to convert the car to a Nissan Skyline. I would just need to track down a Nissan steering wheel horn cover. I am just not quite sure I want to do the conversion as I think the Fuji badge looks a lot better on the car than the Nissan emblem.

Tom Hesser Nissan out of PA... they're sending me the right emblem, with a return shipping sticker. Pretty decent of them.

And I agree, 4DRZ... the Fuji is a more appealing emblem design than the Burger. If things were reversed, and it were Nissan selling the car in North America, branded as INFINITI in Japan... I absolutely would ditch that burger for the fuji.

Anyway, still won't debage and re-badge until it's consistently warm out, so probably not until May.

We got snow again yesterday so I am hoping for warmer weather sometime in July.

I wonder what reaction you will get with the fuji and Skyline badge. Lots of teenage fanboi's, no doubt will yell at you, "That's no skyline! Ride or die brah!!"

That has crossed my mind. But since I drive the car so little, work at home, yaddah yaddah... I can't imagine where I'd encounter said fanbois, nor why I would care what they think long enough to stop laughing at them. Figure the worst that could happen is an occasional middle finger from someone in a 350Z. I can deal with that, LOL.

As for the inevitable question, "What is that? I never heard of an Infiniti Skyline." The best explanation is the simple one: it's called the Skyline in Japan, and I like that name better. IMO, it's actually an easy rationalization, since the G37S badge is gone; (well... under the hood.)

The other thing that crossed my mind is what to do when I go to sell the car... which, knock on wood, is still 5 years out. Either 1, it won't matter. Or 2, I swap the INFINITI badge back. Meh, it's a 6MT, so I should be able to sell it online relatively easy, as long as I suck up the cost of mods as the cost of having a hobby.

I usually dumb it down. Most famous skyline in Japan is Mt. Fuji, thats why Infiniti used it to represent the Skyline line of cars.

I definitely need to take the "G37" off my trunk. To me it's not becoming to the shape of the rear. I'm considering changing the "Infiniti" for "Skyline" under the Fuji as well. It won't be until after I either lower and get exhaust or wheels though.

I wouldn't worry about that. You can always peel the badge off the car.

The Skyline name did come long before Infiniti, but I like your logic

In case anyone was wondering... it's the exact same 12" in length as the INFINITI letters.

Does that include a template, similar to the OEM decklid spoiler? I'm planning on debadging the entire trunk on my new 6MT sedan, and just putting a 370GT emblem in place of the G37S.

I don't know what you're asking, but what came is what you see here... the previous model SKYLINE badge (which I'm returning to them tomorrow morning), and the larger SKYLINE badge that I'm keeping. IDK what the badge is like for the JDM Q50... also the Skyline.

There's a film over both sides, Z. In other words, it gets applied all at once, and then you peel the top film off.

If you're wondering about placement, well... the middle is 6", just a couple mm right of the "L", which is centered to the Fuji. And the height... I'm going to have to figure out a good way to insure proper height. I think the most important consideration is making sure it gets applied perfectly level to the trunk line. Still thinking about that. If you've any ideas, by all means speak your mind.

Back in my Subaru days, someone did a DIY on relocating the badges. They used a combination of Painters tape + metal ruler + magnets to get everything lined up.

I kept this buried in my bookmarks, figuring some day it would come in handy.
