Is it just me, or do you laugh at all the "Fairlady" badges?

I don't care if you put AMG rims on it's not an AMG car, same goes for NISMO IMO.

+1.........

I agree with you a 110%. The whole Nismo badge on a regular Z with no Nismo parts, or even just the exhaust equals EPIC FAIL. I have seen tons of idiots putting the AMG badges on regular Benz's & that equals EPIC FAIL. The 3 Series & people putting the M3 badge I have not came across to my knowledge. I do not understand why people want to put badges like the Nismo, AMG, M3.....when clearly their car is nowhere close to resembling the true nature of that actual badge (Nismo, AMG, M3.....). I'm like stop trying to be, or have something that it is not b/c you are just going to make yourself look stupid & the car too. These people are just posers. The whole Fairlady Z doesn't bother me.

I'm with you, MacLean. Agree completely.

It's like throwing a rock at a hornet's nest. I want to beg the mods not to lock this yet because I want to see everyone's opinion, lol

I would if it wasn't trash.
Actually, I wouldn't, because I think it's ugly.
Also, I hate Hyundais right now. Probably will forever.

the only thing Korean I'm fanboy about is our professional gaming league for starcraft.

But we don't have to get all stinky about it...This isn't yahoo..

Different things for different people.. If you think it is stupid, don't put one on your car..

Like I said earlier , I can agree that cloning a Muscle car that is not a factory Car is terrible..

Or putting AMG badges on a Benz is terrible, but putting the rims on is cool..

And the fairlady issue, sure we can discuss it, but are we going to throw jabs at each other to prove our point /

I already did that on this post and I was the fool.. So anyone doing it , well, it goes beyond discussing the badges and into stupidity...

Its all fun and games homes......calm down. It is a relevant topic. Yes it is poser to me, but that is because I grew up there...actually owned one. Therefore, I see the nostalgia and uniqueness of it. When I brought it back to the states, it was a novelty and I loved it.....now, I long to see my old brand of hooptie and when I see a fairlady badge, im like....yea i remember that then....LETDOWN!

That is why I am moderating myself.

I already made myself look like a fool when I got all hornet like...And we fixed that.

Actually a humbling experience that I need now and then.. I am a genius and an Idiot all in one.

Let us see how long this thread lasts and if we can all calm down..

Bottom line. The Fairlady Z and the 370z are the same trim level. The NISMO is a different trim Level. Putting Fairlady Z on a 370z shows that the driver knows more about his car than where he bought it.

Putting NISMO on a 370z with no MISMO parts is just pretending.

That's it I'm getting some 3.7 and some V6 badges and making a 3.7Z Nistang.

I don't think this is out of hand. It reminds me of experiences where you have a group of people who are all rather civilized, but are extremely opinionated and feel that they have to talk over each other. Everyone kind of laughs at another's expense, but no one is ever really hurt, and in the end, no general opinion is made. Everyone still holds onto their own.

I agree, you need NISMO parts for a NISMO badge, and MISMO parts for a MISMO badge.
