good for you. you're an idiot, too.
Ricers/posers present their cars as something they are not. They replace their own badges/emblems/stickers with those of higher-range models, and add stickers from aftermarket companies whose products they do not own. There is an element of dishonesty and trickery involved. This crap is loud, obnoxious, and meant to draw attention. These 'mods' are the Ed Hardy of the car world. Looks are subjective, and subjectively these cars tend to look like crap. Everything about these cars is counterfeit. The dub/Audi scene involves no dishonesty or element of illusion. Putting Mercedes wheels on a vw does not imply anything other than the owner has put wheels from another company on their car. It is not an attempt to fool others into believing the car is something which it is not. This concept is no different than putting BBS or Kinesis wheels on a car. |

Funny you should mention that.... The AMG badge abuse on Mercs is much more prevalent than the ///M abuse by non-M BMW owners.... Saw a new E-Class the other day with AMG badging on the back. I thought it wasn't even out yet. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it is out, because he only had dual exhaust. Fail.

I know what this thread is about. My original post was unrelated to the OP's post. I was commenting on the images that were posted afterwards. But if calling me an idiot makes you feel better about yourself, more power to you.

yes, and those pictures were illustrating the use of dishonest badging, not the ricer aesthetic, so your response was irrelevant to the pictures, too.

So stupid
People who know what an ///M car is will be able to recognize that the badge is fake.
People like my mom who has no clue about cars, will never even notice. Bottom line, the only people that will notice an ///M badge will know that you are a pathetic poser (or a very luck individual if you happen to own the real deal ) |

I saw a fat guy wearing a Superman T-Shirt...I guess that's kind of the same as throwing an M-Badge on a non-M car.

if I take a Porsche steering wheel and put it in my BMW. That's cool too right? in that respect, people who take the M3 grill and put it on their civic and leave the M3 badge on it is fine too.. they are being unique! How is it different from taking a badge from another company and placing it on their car. No one will be fooled into thinking a Ford Mustang is a BMW. All it is implying is the owner put a badge from a different company. He likes BMW. See where you are flawed?
