Fake Badges

Shuriken30 · 12-03-2021, 05:57 PM

Changed the badges on the wheels with ebay ones, oem were corroded, looks ok but curious how long they will last.

They just don't stay on as well as they have half the amount of clips holding them on. One track day and they will fall off. Just remove them if you're running the wheels hot.

I noticed that they are a bit looser than the original ones. Not going to do track days so hopefully they will stay in place

It's not the top of the line, the X5M is, which is what his plate says, and that's what I think Doctor_X is pointing out. Now, it's entirely possible that he had an X5M previously and never changed the plate, but I think that's unlikely.

Check the plate brah

Truth

Maybe they are wishing for a X5M. Personally, the X6M is lighter and handles better.

Isn't the X7 the top of the line?

Or do they not call the X7 an SAV?

X7 is an SAV, but X5M is more expensive. Is top of the line by price, or size, or some other metric?

Prefer debadged vehicles in general.
No need to "one up" with others if there's nothing in the back to see

We don't care enough to be triggered, but we'll sure as shit laugh at and judge the hell out of you for it. We have to keep our standards unified.

BMW is just as guilty!!!!! Go to the configuration page on the official BMW site and enter an M build.....guess what M340, M550,M850, etc shows up and they are not true M cars. Even those cars have M badging on the console, dash, entry door sills. and on the trunk. Because of this, does not bother me if someone puts the M badge on a base car......

King Rudi · 12-07-2021, 06:43 AM

If it comes from the manufacturer, regardless of their classification/packages, it's acceptable. If the owner/operator slaps a badge, or decal, trying to pass the car along for something other than what it is, it's shameful and a judgeable, laughable and finger pointing offense. Douchery at it's finest. This thread is dedicated to "those" people.

Case in point. I have a close friend, he and I have been like brother's since we were 12. He bought a Dodge pick up a few years ago. During purchase, he saw a Rumble Bee that he liked, didn't want to pay the price for the truck, bought a different truck then asked the dealership to order him Rumble Bee stickers for the truck he just bought. After slapping the decals on, he couldn't figure out why everyone was trying to race him and giving him shit for it. Same mindset.

Continue the precession of shame.
