Car Badging

[Dominus_Servi]

What do you guys think of fake badging? Personally I think its gay. Ive been seeing more and more V6 mustangs with cobra or gt emblems. Same goes for integras with type R badges and civics with VTEC badges. Im soon to be upgrading to dual exhaust, so Im putting a V6 emblem on the back of my car, so Im not mistaken for a V8. I want people to know what they got beat by...and also avoid giving them the impression they beat a v8 if when I lose.

Furthermore, in a previous thread there was a lot of discussion regarding sleepers. This is also influencing my decision for when I finally get a Vortech SQ (super quiet) supercharger on my car...the V6 badge will only add to the sleeper affect.

i agree fake badging is gay.....unless you do it for the adverse effect(debaging)...that is just mean....

I don't give 2 shits about emblems ppl put on their car... I see teg's with those typeR emblems all the time, but its so obvious they are not anything near it because they still got their POS hubcaps... What do I do? I point and laugh

My badging will soon be saying that I drive a Sentra XE...

That sillyness runs rampent with faux BMW M3 and M5 drivers. My friend and I were driving in Detroit the other day and pulled up next to a silver "M5", driven by a very snazzy looking yuppie guy with shades on. When the light went green, my friend and I were soon extremely excited because our stock Sentra Se-R somehow managed to smoke an M5. That dumbass deserved to be put in his place.

I really dont give a rats ass what people do. If they want to put a worm on the side of their V6 Mustang let them do wtf they want. If its gay, then its gay... just remember by that logic that the Shelby Cobra/GTs clones are gay also, not to mention, fake Z28 / SS, Cudas, GTOs, Torinos, T/A Challengers, and all the other rebadged clone/replicas are gay and stupid.
Its their money, its their choice... if they think it looks cool to them so be it. Not everyone has $30k+ to buy a car, so why not go with the next logical step... Buy a cheaper version of it and... Clone it! *gasp*!! Yes its that simple... and yes it saves you LOTS of money. Some of you people just think too much about it.

no it's gay. even worse is when they take badging off a totally unrelated car. some punk drives around here in a green daewoo with skyline GTR badging. every time i see him i burn my tires right past his hunk o shit and flip him the bird.

Yesterday I saw an older beat up POS accord with hubcaps that had a MUGEN badge on it.I wanted to ask'em what MUGEN parts he had on it but he turned

"flip him the bird" Thats pretty ignorant... If he likes it, WTF else should care or give a damn about it? If I want to add a stupid "GTR" emblem or a damn little f-in Snake on the side of my Mustang... You know what? Its my right, Ill do it cause im the one paying for the damn car and want to make it look good for MYSELF only, not you or anyone else for that matter which is what these people are doing (unless its the ones that act like their car is the real thing ) . If you call it a "hunk o shit" go call classic replica cars a piece of shit also and tell them to "f'k off" with their fake, rebaged clones... Itll be about the same damn thing you people are doing right now.

it's disrespectful to the awesomeness that is the GTR and the little punk needs to know this, man. think of the people who designed and developed these cars and think of what they'd say if they saw the badges of the cars that they dedicated their life work to on some hunk of crap daewoo. it's blatant disrespect. no matter how "pretty" it makes the car.

you're entitled to your opinion and if you can be big enough to let stuff like that go, more power to you. but it just irks me.

Its their car - they can do whatever they want with it. I just resever the right to laugh my ass off at some of them

Say you have a V8 Mustang. You go to single exhaust and and slap on a V6 badge. You then bully people who think they are going to bully a V6 Mustang, but instead, they end up getting owned by a V8 Mustang. You know, its a sleeper thing.

[GTStang]

I get it but to be honest it sounds even stupidier than the fake badge people to me?

Different strokes for diff.......

I personally like the idea and would probably do it if it was possible on my car. Suprising people would be priceless.
