Fake Cars

[compprep]

Could be a whole lot worse. At least they HAVE a car and want to mod it, even in bad taste. Most kids want the newest phone, etc and couldn't care less about cars in general. Not I'm not applauding this , just sayin!!

Well I delineate between putting custom badges on your vehicle versus putting fake badges. I.E., a V6 badge on an otherwise badge-less V6 is cool, but putting a Shelby badge on a Ecoboost is grounds for execution. That's my $0.02.

I don't really care what people do. I mean I put a Roush exhaust on an Ecoboost. Doesn't mean I'd put GT badges all over my car though. There's an old Chevy S-10 in town with a Rolls Royce grill on it somehow. I need to get a picture of that thing as it's hilarious. I'm pretty redneck, but just wow.

Yes. 2nd owner since June 1989!! Not at the moment. It's someplace else while I add 2nd stall behind my single stall garage. It's a black compprep, 1 of 83?? made in 86.

I debated briefly putting 3.7 badges on, but when I see pictures of cars with them, they don't look right. "Wannabe" comes to mind when I see them. But never will I put anything on that's above my car's station. I may laugh myself to death if I ever see what you described.

And that's what personal taste comes into play. I think the 3.7 badges look quite good myself. But it seems like Up-badging is pretty much universally hated by everyone.

Is it fake, or just in extremely poor taste?

it’s almost hard to tell. Either way it breaks most of the modification rules.

My mantra is "who cares". You do you and whatever makes you happy. We've become a society of too involved and concerned about others, what others may say, or how we may perceive it. Life is too short to give a damn who put on what parts on THEIR car.

I added a GT500 spoiler to my GT PP1 but an Ecoboost emblem to balance it out.

I am also in the who cares group. It's their car, their money, they can do whatever they want.

I guess you could say I fit into this. My old 2017 GT had a GT350 spoiler, GT350 rear valance, and SVE S350 wheels, so I guess I was trying to look like a GT350. Nope, I wanted the spoiler because it looked the best in my opinion, (had it color matched to the car.) the valance because I wanted the Ford Performance active exhaust and the system came with the valance and had to be used with it, and the wheels were I wanted a lighter wheel and they were on sale for cheap. I thought it looked good, didn't care what others thought.

I'm adding a GT-style spoiler, and maybe a OEM fog light kit to the V6. Already put on 19" OEM wheels. I guess I'm a GT poser with a 5.0 emblem delete.

Millennials are all about modding their bodies. Most of the kids talk about how expensive everything is. but they are rocking 25 grand worth of tattoos & piercings.

Like women that wear to much makeup! False advertising is a character flaw.
