Default Boss/Shelby Stickers on a non Boss/Shelby

Wanted to hear opinions on this...

What do you think about having boss 302/ GT500/ Gt / etc. stickers or trim on a car that isn't actually what the stickers are?

Not a fan if it's got the name on it. Example, Boss stripes are fine. Adding "BOSS 302" with them, not cool. Are you talking about a new or a classic car?

I'm not a fan of poser sticker packages either, but to each his own.

Trim is one thing. Lots of us like to make appearance mods. On the other hand, badging it as something it is not makes you a real wuss.

I'm not a fan butwhatever floats some peoples boats. When ever your buying a special edition car you need to make sure it's the real deal and not a tribute car. That's a nice way of saying fake, don't you think?

I'm cool with decals. Hell, I have a Roush style hood decal myself. That said, I personally think it's lame when people badge their cars as Cobras and the like if they're not. Even if they supercharge a GT, it's still not a GT500.

Another thing I think looks funky, is when you see Roush rims on a GT500, or GT500 rims on a GT, etc. Not as bad as calling a car something it's not, just doesn't look right from a styling point of view. I think Saleen, Roush, and the SVT do a great job of matching the style of rims to the rest of the car. It just throws me off to see wheels mixed and matched.

My next Mustang will likely be a 2011 GT500 with the performance package. I LOVE the style of those cars (the performance rims, narrow stripes, etc.) but just to decorate my car to look similar wouldn't do anything for me.

IDK about rims. I don't think that's pushing it. I really like the 2010 GT500 rims and they would look good on my car (NOT a GT500). I don't think that's badging the car any and most people wouldn't know the difference. Not any worse than putting after market rims on the GT500, is it?
