I think you nailed it. There are a few minor visible differences between the V8, V6, and EcoBoost. They all look really cool, but 1 is clearly more powerful.
Interesting..... I have no shame about my V6. But I like the vented hood, and considered putting a GT hood on my car. But part of me feels like I will get some grief for "faking it." Maybe it's not the same as a fake fender badge though.

Naw if you like the GT hood get it. I like the way the Roush hood & side scopes look. So I'm doing that. Has nothing to do with wanting to pass my car off as a Roush.

Spoken like a guy with an EB on order. You can put lambo doors and a prancing pony emblem on your car for all I care. But for the love of god quit whining about GT elitism! Grow a pair and just be happy with your purchase! I have an s197 V6 as my daily driver and never once worried about what a guy in a 5.0 or a lambo had to say because he doesn't make my payments.
Not justifying my purchase, I was just explaining my theory on why people
'badge tune'

i'd applaud you for upgrading to the GT hood, that's different because it's functional, and you're not trying to fool anyone with 5.0 badges.

My bad. It just sounded like whining to me. Given some of the comments on this forum there is a lot of whining going on to match the elitism.

like iphones. i hate being associated with apple. but its a better phone than any android phone out there. i know this, because i tried switching, and it sucked.
iphones are for people who are not tech savy. And the Samsung Edge is a damn beautiful phone and far better than the iphone 6.

Rebadge FTW

The owner came out while I snapped these pictures... an awesome woman with a great sense of humour!

the dudes probably just trying to be funny. I get the impression he also doesn't care what other people think.;)
And more importantly, there probably aren't any pissed off Hyundai owners because a Bentley is mis-badged.

Wait... how do 5.0 badges fool someone?
into thinking that the car is a 5.0. it wont fool me or you, but could fool any layman that dont know about cars, especially if it's just parked.

iphones are for people who are not tech savy. And the Samsung Edge is a damn beautiful phone and far better than the iphone 6.
that's funny, because i work for a tech company that makes android devices and support them on a daily basis. it's part of the reason why i wanted to switch. i wanted to be one of the "cool guys" with their "big and powerful" android devices and its "endless customization".

meanwhile i couldn't even add a simple flashlight widget on the samsung s5 lock screen...

Right. It won't fool anyone who knows about cars. And the person it does fool was probably "fooled" as soon as they saw one of the ponies. To most laymen a Mustang is a Mustang.

What if someone were to put a 3.7 badge on their 5.0? Is that just as bad?

I think the main reason people get mad at people upbadging Mustangs (or any car in general) is because 9 times out of 10, those who do it turn out to be like this:

This is almost too much cringe for me to listen to at points. Watch out for this guy on the roads! :lol:
