The newb that is worried about a flat badge on his hood of a 96 E class brought this baby back...I just wanted to share a sarcastic, circular comment to it.

Lotus Elise SLK55

I have this idiot in my building driving around in a SL500, rebadged as an SL55 (not only the rear badge, but side V8 Kompressor too!). I honestly don't understand why anyone would do that, since the only people who know what SL55 AMG is, also know that it has quad-exhaust, big brakes, and AMG bodykit. I even saw some of my other neighbors with real AMG's make fun of his car lol! I think those idiots don't realize that they will actually get more negative reactions from real AMG enthusiasts that positives ones from regular people who don't even know what AMG is. Poor fools...

My friends and I know a great deal about cars immediately called him out on it...not because we care if he badged it that way, but because it was more like a insult of my intelligence to actually put this 2.5rs in my face and tell me its a wrx. It was actually comical.

I think telling someone to their face that a car is something other than what it is, is a little different than putting on badges that don't belong there. If I had a friend swear to me that his car was a WRX and it really wasn't, it would be pretty funny, but to see an E class badged as an E55 isn't really that big of a deal to me... Maybe he just likes the way the badges look

Lookin' different

Hell Yeah it looks different!! Even the badges itself I can tell they're counterfeit. You'd be better off without those 55's and AMG badges man and don't put anything. At least leave the people guessing and wondering what type of E is that 320, 420 or if you are lucky maybe the most they would guess it as a 430( I doubt that) but not 55's dude.Please! Oh take off the E as well. But, keep the E as that's the only authentic character.ok Trust me.
