Have you checked the FSM for your car in the FAQ???

Wouldn't it install just like a OEM Infiniti??

Eh, my feelings on the GT-R kit for the G is that it should be left alone. The GT-R is a car of it's own and very unique in many ways and that's the way it should be. I think there are much better kits for the G anyhow.

SKYLINE

Personally, I would re-badge the outside and anything inside that was ez enuff to do. There are LOTS of opinions on just doing the outside vs completely redoing the entire car, but my opinion is the only one that counts!

I bought my G35's because they are rwd Nissans, had nothing to do with Infiniti.

I have rebadged mine. I also have Nissan center caps in the wheels and the Skyline door sill plates. I am currently waiting on my RHD batter cover and Clear Sklyline corner(the ones w/ the bupm on them) markers to arrive.

HAHA drunk or not I saw the point you were getting at I myself am not a fan of the rebadge. Not saying that it doesn't look good because a G is a G and each man's car is his own but the first thing I do is strip off all badges haha that way it's fun for cops when I get pulled over. They always ask what is this? They always think it's a 350z Anyway, happy tuning, whether you stip, change, or keep your badge...just don't put a 7' metal wing on backwards or any dumb arse type R stickers on it or we will make it a point to boost your G and use it for parts jk jk

no need for the entire grille, just buy the nissan emblem and change it out with the infiniti emblem, do the same for the rear.

Anyone come out with a grille that it exactly the same as the factory but without the Infiniti logo?

I have seen the factory grilles offered in which the center is painted black, leaving the edges chrome, and thought they looked pretty nice.

Installing the grille is a piece of cake. It'll take 5 mins at most. What do you mean by skyline grille? Did you mean the OEM but with a Nissan emblem instead of Infiniti or a new grille completely? I'm actually still working on my OEM grille. I took the logo off, filled in the gaps with bondo/putty, and its just sitting around cuz I need to borrow a dremel from someone so that I can finish sanding it off before i paint it.
