Anyone thinking about JDM'ing your G?

I’m not aware of that at all. IMO, some JDM debadgers are trying in vain to make their cars, and themselves perhaps, unique for local consumption by fashioning their car into something it is not. Sure, it’s their choice to do so, but they could do it much more inexpensively by a low-cost tattoo on their arm or a pierced eye brow. They could get noticed without going to all that trouble.

Goodness. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I could care less if someone who owns a particular vehicle wants to put the badge that would have been on that exact same vehicle if it were only purchased in a different country... 
(I would feel differently if one was attempting to fool people by putting an IPL badge, for example, on a non-IPL G or an ///M badge on a non-///M BMW... 
)
I guess wish some of the scorn directed towards the re-badgers could be redirected towards those cars with fake parts, knock-offs, and replicas... But, I suppose that's just me.
Like I said, different strokes for different folks.

Come on, all those badge changes mentioned in my previous post would cost more than $7. Putting aside the $12,000 RHD conversion, getting rid of the Infiniti emblems alone would be worth two full arm tattoos, if not a big Skyline symbol across your forehead. Of course cutting off the sleeves on all your shirts to show the tattoos would be extra.

The list highlights replacing everything on the car that says it’s an Infiniti G37 with JDM parts. Other than the ridiculous suggestions that the car be changed to RHD, or that a magic marker be used change the manuals (those are in there to show how silly it is to attempt a 100% conversion), tell me where it is flawed and I’ll be glad to revise it.
Other than that, perhaps you should lighten up a bit, and recognize my imperfect attempt at making a point with humor.

I don't see the big deal with changing up a few emblems as long as you're not faking the funk. (i.e. //M badges, AC Schnitzer, GTR on a regular car)
Nissan Skyline 370GT = Infiniti G37..... I don't understand why some people have a hard time realizing that.
Now if someone wants to cough up the $$$ into turning their USDM G37 into an all out JDM 370GT, then its their choice and more power to them.
Reminds me of this one BMW 5 series here on island..... Badged as an "M5" with the side vents and all, but when you get to the back, it only has half of the quad exhausts..... the guy even went as far as getting personalized plates that said "MPRESIV"
