I've got considerably more important things to worry about than someone else and their car modifications. No wonder people die young, worrying about everybody else.

I think it's funny to see GT 350 owners paint or by the GT 350 R calipers. In my Opinion having the calipers painted is a downgrade since any true track guy will know that the paint will change color and flake off .

All true race BBK kits either use a hard anodized coating or a nickel plating

I kind of want to rebadge my GT as a V6 just to get more fun at lights.
Yeah, I wish there weren't holes under my fender badges or they would have been gone the first day....

True but when you turn red brembos into brownbos you get mad respect put on your name.

I have no problem with putting performance equipment from the R on any other car. To me that's the essence of hot rodding, which I love. But there's very little reason for putting an R badge on your car other than trying to pretend your car is an R.
This, exactly.

Kind of makes me wonder what the people who up-badge their cars would do if they ever built their GT/GT350 to capabilities beyond a stock GT350R . . . would they remove the R badges because they would then represent something slower and less capable?

Worried? Where did that come from? I doubt anyone is worried and if don't agree that this is just a discussion, why bother posting? Are you worried you'll be left out :D

This is not life and death we are discussing here. This whole forum is to discuss our cars and have some friendly debate:cheers:

All this talk about the color of badges seems a little "racist" to me. Since some of us refer to our cars as "he" or "she", will it become a transgender issue too?

LOL. I usually prefer a de badged car. What does that make me? ;)

I never get to name my cars. My wife just names all my toy cars as " your bitch" since she claims I spend more time with them than her. I said " I trade cars every 3 years, we've been married 25, coincidence? "

If you de-badge it, I believe that means it has been neutered.

What I can't stand about the GT350, are the gloss ott stripes. I wish they were matte. I've been thinking of going to the FR350S stripes.

Another thing I do not like are the gt350 knock off wheels on ecoboost, v6 and GT. I don't mean it disrespectfully I just think with all the wheel choices out why would anyone want a stock looking boat anchor wheel.
