Whats ironic is the people who can afford the pricer cars (i.e. SL55, or 65, S55) debadge their cars, so you don't know what they have when pull up to them at the light.
Those who can't afford them, rebadge .
Look, if you have a Mercedes E350, I respect that, but I don't respect someone rebadging it as a AMG model.
I did this with my 95 Camaro Z28. I took off all the Z28 badges, got me some "salad shooter" rims (with drag radials), replaced the exhaust to a single outlet (to look like a V6), and would go trolling for races with all the Ricers. (Too bad I had an LT4 Hot cam kit, long tubes, 12 bolt and all the BMR suspension goodies to go, and a "sneaky Pete" bottle in my hatch where most people put subs)
