Nah, you're good. My rule of thumb is that AMG parts are fine. AMG wheels for example carry the AMG logo, so i give real AMG brakes a pass.

This is coming from someone for whom AMG posers are a top pet peev, so you're definitly ok with the brakes. Now only if we could convince the real posers out there that my rule of thumb doesn't apply to trunk lids.

funniest thing ever today. I was driving from Oklahoma to Dallas Texas today. I saw a S500 mercedes with a S55 and AMG emblem on it. It looked so fake that even my gf with no knowledge of mercedes even noticed that it was a fraud. It made my day, laughed because of the fact that my gf called it out. She saw that they weren't the dual exhaust and the emblems were crooked.

Ok we even get fakies in the UK of A - this wonderful MB spoilt only by three little letters - near Osterley Park Isleworth - perhaps he needs another badge to cover that little scratch on the other side!

a few weeks ago i was driving my ml63 and i saw a cayenne turbo S( it looked real. the bumper, the exchuast,...). i asked him if he wanted to have a race. he said yes. i beat him by maybe 20 car lengths. i used to have a cayenne turbo, it was abit slower than the ml. the tubo S should ve been faster than the ml. i asked the guy what happened??
he told me his car is a cayenne s and that hes never heard of a ml63.

Saw a good 209 CLK"55" fake a couple weeks back on the 5 NB near Carlsbad. Basically all the guy had added was the re-badging, no attempt at any other AMG-ish body or wheel/suspension mods.

I don't know what looks worse, the long chrome strip running down the side, the chrome strip on the bumper, or those hideous tail lights.

I could only imagine how the front of the car looks

Driver \ owner is black, he had all the windows down so that everyone could see him and hear his booty *** rap music. Notice how everyone else has their windows up..it was probably 100+F in Houston that afternoon.
