Sensitive Issue - The Wearing Of The "gt-r" Badge...

[Spunky Munky]

Now firstly, this thread is not meant to disrespect anyone but more so to hear everyone's take on this issue.

It's becoming way too often that I see, GTS's and GTS-T's wearing the GT-R badge in a way that it just makes me wonder why aren't they proud of what they got and seriously... do they think everyone are that clueless?

For example, I drive a fairly heavily-modified R33 GTS-T - I think I can either beat a stock GT-R or at least keep up to it so why should I even try to badge my car as a GT-R? I'm proud of what I got and wouldn't have it any other way. If I wanted a GT-R and can afford one etc, I would gladly go and buy a GT-R instead of rebadging my GTS-T as a GT-R. I mean, how silly would it be if someone asks... "hey mate, nice car but is it a real GT-R?" If one answers yeah mate, it is alright and then they person was to be a cluey bloke and picks out things to the contrary e.g. no pumped guards, no brembo caliper brakes, no GT-R genuine front lip etc, then wouldn't I look like a total dick? On the otherhand, if I sayd yes and he fell for it, that's the same thing as saying I'm not proud of what I got but am gladly to fake it anyways! I'm confused.

I mean, I have no issues with GTS-T's and GTS's putting on GT-R frontbars, sideskirts etc as the look is nice, but badging it as a GT-R - I think this is pushing the line a bit, your thoughts on this?? How many "Mock Ups" have you soon around lately??

I was considering going the other way and running a GTS-t sticker on the bootlid of our racecar...as ive removed all badging off it...just to get one back for the GTR boys.
