Fake E63 AMG Badges LMAO

Ok, I'm usually all for someone trying to modify their cars to suit their tastes. But don't "stoop" to this level, not even just an AMG badge! She went all out! Not to mention she had zero mods on the car. Dual fog lights up front. 6.3 Liter AMG badges on the side, and it's a regular E350 with pano roof & split spoke AMG rims.

Only a car enthusiast can tell the difference between a real E63 and a regular W212 with AMG sport package. To be honest there's not a whole lot of difference between an E63 and W212 with AMG sport package. E63 has a more aggressive front bumper, quad exhausts, side chrome deletion, rear AMG spoiler, rear diffuser strip, 19" rims, and not to mention that beastly 6.3L V8 sound. Other than that, the two models are the same and that's from a car enthusiast's stand point.

Absolutely appalling. I feel that things like this go deeper than simply cars usually, they touch down into a persons level of self esteem or satisfaction of where they're at in life.

I mean, an AMG badge next to an E350/E550 badge is bad enough, but this full enchilada is just....

That's a harmless mod that goes well with the fake Gucci bag and the diamond encrusted Bolex watch.

The owner isn't doing any harm. The majority of people out there have no clue what AMG is, don't know what 6.3 means. Those that do know, understand that the owner is a poseur. No need to get offended or insulted.

That's the exact issue that most poseurs don't get. Anyone who will be impressed by those badges will know right away that it's a phony. Anyone who doesn't notice the car is a phony won't know or care what the badges mean anyway.

I was seriously considering it!
In regards to everyone else's response, I posted it here because we all ARE enthusiasts and figured everyone would get a kick out of it. And here in NY people take their cars very seriously, everyone knows what an AMG is. People walk by this car and look at it as if it's a real AMG, and other people see it and laugh. I drive an E350 sport and I think it discredits our cars as well as the AMG models.
I see this car almost everyday and get a good laugh out of it and so do my passengers I'm actually glad it's there it's a good conversation piece

And Hyperion I'm not sure if your agreeing with me or not. But wearing AMG t-shirts means your a fan of a brand, your car wearing AMG (everything) badges is a whole different story

And AMG brakes with cross drilled rotors. To many exterior differences if you ask me.

Lol yea I gotcha. In regards to the AMG sport pack, I think Mercedes did a good job by not branding AMG to the name/parts of the E class sport models. It's just called an E class sport ("Sport styling"). It's not like your front and rear AMG diffusers are the same as the e350/550 sport models. Plus I couldn't go wrong with the sport styling/LED DRL's at no additional cost vs. the luxury.

It is possible that she did not buy the car new, and, that the preovious owner did this re-badging. She may not know. I have seen this before. Not everyone gives a crap.

Or her Husband put them on so she thought that he bought her the "most expensive model".

That's what Ari Gold did to his wives SL500 in Entourage, apparently.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it - each to his own. There are poseurs everywhere. Hell I'm a poseur myself, I put fake AMG wheels on my E350 because they look nice fully cognizant that they are 8lbs heavier than the real AMGs. But so what - the E350 is one of the slowest cars I've ever owned and I don't mind losing that tenth of a second in the 1/4 mile (to save the $2.5k).

No car is immune to fakery. Here is one that has Hyundai owners up in arms. Many feel this dilutes from the Hyundai brand......
