Well, I was done till some long winded post said me and others I believe were being disrespectfull. If I remember right, I wasn't the first or the only one that thought the hood pins were mislocated. Too close to the crease. Wasn't mean then either. Just my opinion which is what the OP asked for on that thread. He even said he was second guessing the location. Help me understand. Are we just supposed to lamely nod our heads in aggreeance to questions asked? If so, what's the point of the forum?

Sheep in Wolfs clothing -> All show, no go... "Ricer" comes to mind. Bolting enblem stuff on your car doesn't make it go any faster yo...
Wolf in Sheeps clothing -> No show, all go... The best kind, lay in wait, and then rip someone a new one!
I don't mind people putting GT/GT500 bumpers and wheels on their cars. But don't put the badges on there, they look cool and dandy, but if you don't have the muscle to back up the claim those make... That's where "I can smoke a GT500 with my bolt on 350z" comes from!

no giddyup....but when you label a person...that is not what they are asking you...very very few people ever come on here and ask...hey do I look fat....am i a poser etc....no they ask...this is what I did to my car...what do you think of it....your opinion should steer AWAY from labeling or naming someone as an INDIVIDUAL....hate there car...dont like what they did....dont automatically call them a name which is in essence what you do when you call someone a "POSER" for what they do with their vehicle...that is no more a warranted opinion than is calling someone a slur due to there appearance, beliefs etc....thats where opinion ends...and childishness and hatred begin...

Could be wrong, frequently am, but I don't believe I labeled anyone. I labeled their car as a poser or whatever. It's the CAR that is posing like a Shelby or a whatever, not the person. The person doesn't stick badges on themselves.

RE: Another poser thread.
Going fast does not qualify you to up-badge. That is just plain goofy.
Just because my car is faster than a stock GT500 does not mean I am justified in putting emblems from another Mustang edition on my car.
Would it be cool to put 429 SCJ emblems on my 289 Mustang?NO it would not.

Well I think utilizing body parts from special editions is completely cool. Spoilers,hoodsand front facias being used on a GT or V-6 does not a poser make.
However when you start slapping on emblems form a GT500 then you are a poser - plain and simple. Upbadging is posing.
Would it be cool to slap on a Z06 badge a regular c-6 Corvette? No it would be posing. It is not a tribute, it is not a clone it is posing.
You can upbadge your car if you like, yes, but don't cry when people laugh at you....

It's my car and I do as I like (as an example) but I make it known that the car is a mere V6. Not that I'm entirely PROUD of that fact, but whatever. At 19 living on your own, what else can you afford...
