Moral: you maybe to change the outside or appearance, but you'll never change on the inside.

The JDM version of the car was called the Honda Integra. As of 2002, the USDM version of the car was called the Acura RSX. Wiki article
I read that and yes its the same as the Skyline deal
FYI, I live in the US not in Japan.

I've worked as a salesman at a Nissan dealership for almost 8 years now. I bought a '12 G37xS sedan (my wife just had our first baby 3 weeks ago) about a month ago. Everytime I run into one of my clients around town they say "why didnt you buy a Nissan?"
I'm working on rebadging mine primarily to stop this from happening (most people wont look at it and immediately think that it's anything other than a Nissan they can come down and buy from me) Also I still wanna represent.
As far as whether they're the same car or not...well most of the drivetrain parts numbers are the same. No other car in the line does that except the Z. Versa's and Tiida's all different. Even the Cube's are different.
so with that in mind... does anyone know where I can get the badges I need? Just the Nissan emblems (im not going to put the "skyline" badge on it). Also the airbag cover, clock and kickplates? It would be extra sweet if anyone knew where to get the stereo climate ***** and the navigation wheel bezel as well (those bits are milled aluminum in JDM form. Super sexy!!)

Thanks Myk1013 I've got the rear handled (went with a '13 maxima rear emblem. Its the closest to the size of my OEM rear.) now I just need the front before I can put it on. Any ideas there?

Who cares what other people think .... nothing like dumbing down your car. I'm proud of my Infiniti logos and would never take them off. The whole debadging thing I don't understand let alone put an inferior model on there.

Lol at this whole thread. Why would anyone want to take the Infiniti badges off of their car??? Especially after some poor Nissan employee in Japan spent all that time sorting through different boxes, some marked Nissan, some marked Infiniti, pulling out the Infiniti ones and glueing them to the car.
I couldn't sleep at night knowing that the poor little Japanese man, that put the Skyline badges on my car, could be put out of a job!
Definitely some brand tragics on here who think that the G37 is somehow a more prestigious car than the 370GT.
