I don't "care" either per se....But this is an enthusiast forum, and enthusiasts are usually a pretty rigid group who like to vent and this is the place for it. If I saw something badged as something it is not, I would simply shake my head and utter under my breath as I so often do in LA traffic, "IDIOT". But, if someone comes on here and says they have a BS when they realy do not....well then it's go time

First off, bad analogy, no way can some guy look better then Jessica Alba; unless the judge is like Clay Aiken or Elton John. However, I see your point.
And to answer your why, what if they just like the way the badge looks?
I can't believe it really bothers people this much. If I saw some SL500 badge with "V12" and "600" on the rear-- I wouldn't care, his money, his car.

Well personally, I couldn't care less if someone put a BS badge on their Geo Metro as long as they are honest that it isn't really a BS.

I know some people have expressed interest in rebadging their E55 with 320 badges and removing the "V8 Kompressor" badges. Don't know if anyones done it though.

LOL, god damn, I have been away for too long...but I think I have spoken on the phone with Nielsll, he seemed real enough and I think he does own a BS, in fact I think evosport is going to be or is already doing some work on the car. If it is the same person I think it is he owns a home here in Chicago and one in OC, I offered to let him come see and drive my car to check out the evosport mods.

Once I payed closer attention to his screen name it hit me that I talked to him in the past. Seems like a good guy and quite a car guy. I have not been around here much so I can't speak for anything else that may or may not have gone in in these forums between him and other members.
