y'know he probably beats parking tickets with that setup. If a ticket ID's his car as a Benz he just shows his registration for a Chrysler and it's dismissed. I had a 1986 Nissan Maxima that I debadged and it got misidentified all the time: Subaru, Toyota, etc. Beat tickets every time.

Check this e55 with full e63 badging.

Cars actually pretty clean but they ruined it with the badges.

Dealerships either started or @ very least furthered this trend to increase sales etc to uninformed buyers, I've spoken to a few & they totally think it's legit as they should, since they unwittingly purchased these cars NEW w/incorrect badging.
You guys should stick to real posing instances that involve total rebadging IE 55/65/63 AMG BITURBO/KOMPRESSOR etc.. Get over these lame S500/SL500/clk430/s430/c300 etc AMG badged cars they are 99% Dealer installed newbs..
EDIT: the 1% S500 above... Look's like the buyer stuck refigerator A M G letters on that heap..

We've gone around with this too many times...Does it have the AMG engine?...does the vin come out as an AMG?...
If the answer is no, it's not an AMG = poser
The "S" poser above can't even get the correct badge.

Agree def NOT from FACTORY, though many Premier MB Dealerships add the AMG badge to brand new NON AMG 550/500/430 etc models, obviously to promote sales to uninformed public who want AMG 55/65/63 models but can't afford them etc..
