370GT would look better than 3.7

Really considering the 370GT and Skyline on the back, leaving the Infiniti logo. "3.7" probably won't last, but gunmetal is a great idea to try

Or... ditch the conflicting Fuji and just put the SKYLINE on the center trunk, raised up 1". That's been a consideration rolling around my head for a couple of years now.

Thanks for the info blnewt. I picked up the two additional wheels from the deal yesterday and today or tomorrow we are going to swap our wheels out. So I'll just need to buy two more wheels off ebay to have two full sets. 8.5 fronts and 9 inch rears.

I'll definitely look into getting a uniform tiresize across all 4 wheels over the winter since I plan to get a beater for the coming winter season. Right now he just put two brand new Toyo Proxes on the front wheels so I'll deal with those and be extra careful I don't scrape anything as my clearance on my 18's isn't that great already. Might have a set of anniversary rims up for sale at some point

Will the Nissan "Burger" fit in the OE front grill?

I believe they are interchangeable. However, interchangeable in the context of the front grille designed for the G37 / 370GT. In other words, you probably need the JDM burger for the 370GT, which isn't something you can order from your local dealership.

There are a small handful of people here on the forum who are into the whole JDM look. Research it and reach out to them for definitive answers.

I think if you are going to switch emblems you need to go all the way and put the burger as well. No halfsies.

I wonder if this fits in the "Fuji's" place

I'm a sleeper kind of guy. If I had money prioritized to drop a VR38DETT into my G, I wouldn't advertise it to anyone. That's just how I am. I say forget the fender attire.

Then there's the opposite side of the spectrum. Z3 gills, fake hood scoops, badges of models or engine that are a step up from the actual car, chrome spinners, etc.

The growth of information access has grown dramatically in the last decade. You can get anything you want for your car and do anything you want to your car. It's a struggle to be unique. You do you. In the end, that is all that matters. And my opinion... those are the only things that matter.

Eww-w.

I prefer to think opinions are like cottonwood seeds... millions of them blowing aimlessly in the wind, and all very flammable.

Seems like there's a pretty big market for rebadging Skylines as Infiniti G37 in Japan. Seems like the 'Grass is Always Greener" saying is universal

I kinda feel it may be more revolting that you think everyone's belly button stinks. Wash that thing!

And as for you, John. Cottonwood seed? Not exactly relatable to everyone. Anuses on the other hand...


This took a severe turn for the worse. Let's go back to slapping all that plastic on top of all that pretty paint.
