More Terrible fake badging

I spotted this sweet R34 gtr the other day. The guy seems to have upgraded the body kit and tai lights. Such a sweet ride

Isn't the G35 called a skyline in Japan? It's JDM, yo. Lights look OEM to me.

Nissan and Skyline badging okay. GTR badging, not so much. But there's so much worse lol.

I've seen that as well. I don't care if it is JDM... That car is not a real Skyline/GT-R. The badging is BS. WTH was Nissan thinking.

starting with the R35/V35, the Skyline and GT-R are no longer the same model

Yep! Seen them here in LA a couple of times. Confused me at first, but had to do a bit of research.

Its completely OEM

Well first of all, it's not a GT-R. Nowhere does it say that. Sure it's nothing like the monster we know of as the GT-R, but the Infiniti G35/Skyline 350GT also came out before the GT-R was announced. It was during that lull period when Nissan didn't have a successor to the R34 GT-R yet.
