never have understood why people pose? You are what you are. It is what it is, and it's not what it's not.
The 55 is a GREAT car, so is the 63. If you like your 55, be proud of it. Never pose!!

If I pretended to spank another car and posted a KILL, is that posing?

It’s a no-no, unless you want to have fun with people. In that case, I would add a zero. GT550

Is changing the badging on my 55 to the 63 badging a big no no?

The cars are indentical besides the badging and engine.

Would this be a MB enthusiast no no?

I don’t see the benefit. I owned an ML-55 AMG and still own a CLS-55 AMG. The engines are bulletproof and I traded my ML in at 190k miles. Engine was strong trannys were the same (also bulletproof) and aside from maintenance never had a problem. The 63 had a series of very expensive engine issues which was one of the reasons for discontinuing the model. Changing it to a 63 could devalue the vehicle due to the aforementioned issues. And if you can satisfactorily convince the car guy you’re trading the car in on he will think you played with other things besides the badging. Leave the vehicle as it is.
