is not posing as long as you are not claiming to have a roush.

Lol, the worst I've seen was a Honda badge put on a Mustang to label it as a Honda. That was a disgrace!

And in no way am I bashing on you.

I just dont see why people do it.

Maybe you and yellow can explain why you put cobra emblems on? Regardless if you have the power to back it up or not that doesn't give someone the privlege to put the emblems on.

Now if your reason is because you like the way the cobra, gt500 emblems make your car look. Ok I get that, but if you are doing it saying you dont care what someone else thinks I don't know if thats 100% true from most people.
Most do it so people that don't know any better THINK its a GT500 or some variation of one.
1. Many do it for there own personal reasons.....if you would like to know just PM them.... (or myself). 2. all they have to do is ask....like many many others have in the past

I agree and it will be locked in a few seconds....not tech and a mute debate over nothing

Yes they are but they all can be bought and Roush, Shelby, Saleen, etc all sell any part or badge you want.....bottom line its about making money and cloning or tribute's IMO are the greatest form of flattery to the people that make and sell the parts we put on our cars.

Who are we advertising for....see where this is going.....no where

So screw anyone who takes issue with it. If, however you try and pass your car off as somthing it is not them your not a poser-- you are just a loooooooser.
I agree that your a poser and a LOSER! But none of the members that are in this thread have ever tried to pass it off to someone else as something it is not.... I know all these guys....TJ, Joe, Barry, etc and they all could care less what others think......many of them have amazing GT's and it is a great conversation piece. When I am asked if it is a GT500..... I explain that it is a GT and why I choose the options/badges I have and they can take it or leave it ...besides its not the person asking that owns the car and they can like it or not....beauty of this great nation.....to each his own

Let me sum up POSER IMO.

a real poser is somebody who cares what other people think and make there choices on what others say. do you man and only you.......

and for the douche bags who are all upset cause somebody put something on there car get a fckn life already. jesus christ the lack of brains sures comes out sometimes " oh you better be able to back up that badge with power" says who and why? now people have to proove themselfs when they get in there cars...

put a cobra emblem on your prius for all I fckn care.

people need to grow the fck up and worry about themselfs and not dumb bs like badges on other peoples cars.

The guys who have them on there converted cars I would just say that people who comment are just jelous cause your car more then likely clowns theres and knowbody looks or gives a **** about theres so they are just hating....

anybody who has any negative **** to say about what somebody did to there car is just a hater in general.
TOMB......you crack me up and your definition is one of many that I agree with....nice to read the F-bomb this and f-bomb that I could feel your emotion thru the computer....

On this note....

thread is locked and anyone that has any comments, questions, or concerns can PM me if they want to continue to debate/argue a mute point.

If another thread is made in response to this one after knowing this was locked you will be banned.......


Thanks everyone and enjoy the forum and dont take life and what others think of you too seriously.....signed a "rebadged" 06 Mustang GT -see sig and albums for pics
