Misbadged - Help me Out

Badges don't make a car real or a fake. I feel sorry for those owners that are so insecure and feel a couple of badges on a car that obviously isn't the real deal diminshes the value of their "real" car. I wonder how the owners of a real 427 Cobras feel about all the clones that are out there from folks like Superperformance and Factory 5 and several others. There are a hell of a lot more clones of those out there than real deal cars and often the clones are the better performers considering the technology available. I can't recall any whining from the owners of "real" Cobras about Ford using the Cobra name on the 03-04 cars but put a couple of snake badges on another Mustang and it becomes blasphamy. Grow up people.
Lmao. All you do is talk S#!T. You and the other two D-bags must all be 15 year old butt buddies in high school.

Can't please everyone. Besides I don't see you posting pictures of your builds. Guess you can only criticize.
You just talk BS and belittle people. I can tell what a worthless person you are.
It's okay. I have a couple of threads worth of compliments on my builds. Don't want or need your worthless comments.

Hey, no need to drag the Japanese or Koreans into this disaster.
Lol. You’re the guy chasing “likes” eh?
Can’t imagine you got many with that space ship turd you posted above
I never knew one could rice out a Mustang but you sir have proved me wrong!
It’s almost like you selected something from EVERY page in the Pep Boys catalog in that “build”.

Okay, I see how it is. While gimme D!(%$ is typing trash, you're giving it to him from behind. Then you guys switch and he's giving it to you from behind while you're typing trash.
Who am I to talk about your lifestyle choices.
Enjoy the rest of your evening gay boys.

An actual representation of me. As I judge your fake badged cars.
Real Cobra's were based on the AC Ace. The '03-'04 cars are based on the Mustang. They are completely different cars, obviously. The usage of the Cobra name on a Mustang is to denote a trim level, like all other Mustang Cobra's. I've never met or heard of anyone trying to pass off their Mustang Cobra as an AC Cobra. But, when you see a V-6 Mustang with Cobra badges, you know what's going on.
Do I care what other people do with their car? Ultimately, No. However, I don't believe in misrepresentation. I think that most people who up-badge their car, whatever it is, has more to do with perceived status than anything else.
I like the look of Saleen Mustangs. If I put a Saleen body kit on my car, I would not put Saleen stickers on it. Why? It's not a real Saleen.
I think my heap is(was?) pretty close. I opted for a spoiler delete and I'm running a different ECU strategy but it had everything else short of the VIN tag. Not so much now with the engine rebuild, TT/SC rebuild, intercooler upgrades, and fuel system upgrades. Now it's much more to your latter point...
Oh there's plenty of old timers that get their jorts in a knot for even less egregious things on old cars. They'll complain if your vintage car doesn't have a perfect factory paint match, you don't have the factory original bolts, you don't have an exact OEM emissions decal on the hood, you've got non OEM wiper blades... All kinds of nit picky stuff.
Personally I love the butthurt my car causes.
Im starting to feel guilty for calling my pet boa constrictor a cobra. If I get 100 likes, I will just refer to it as an “import” snake from now on. I promise...
If I copied a bullitt even down to its VIN would it be fair to say that is a fraudulent endeavor?
Yes, copying a VIN is a fraudulent endeavor. This is the thread that keeps on giving lol.
while i appreciate your response i'm more interested in one from the camp that thinks its kosher to badge something in accordance with it being something it is not in actuality.
the only difference i see between swapping a vin plate is force of law stands in opposition to one while the other can be done with impunity. however, fundamentally, they are the same exact action.
