It's been discussed before. Even on the PL where it was pointed out that a dealer knows better than to be deceptive in that way and also knows the boundaries to follow as a franchise dealer. The AMG people said that only AMGs get the AMG badge on the rear deck.

is it ok if i add a zero to my rear badges? hehe
im thinking that if they see cls550 on my rear end and they dont notice my side badges, id get some challengers. (ive got a zero sitting in my ash tray)
nobody ever wants to play with me when i drive around

I hate em
I hate the poser / fakers, they want credit for something they didn't want to earn. They think everyone is so dumb they will fall for it. I've even seen AMG written on the left side and the model on the right side... (more than once)
I usually do something to make it clear that I see them posing and I don't approve. I think those people are the same people, that lie, steal and cheat, they are making it really easy for me to spot them and let them know how I feel.
I wish I could do more - maybe I should get one of those cop rumbler things

This isn't true. It's owners who put the badges on.
It's been discussed before. Even on the PL where it was pointed out that a dealer knows better than to be deceptive in that way and also knows the boundaries to follow as a franchise dealer. The AMG people said that only AMGs get the AMG badge on the rear deck.

Now certainly they won't come from the factory with AMG badges, but at least one dealer has put them on.

Well I used to flick them off, but most didnt know why I was upset so now if I see one badged with AMG and its clearly a fake i pull close up on their bumper and ride them for a bit....then I slow down some and create a distance of about 15 cars lengths, as I depress the brake pedal I slowly roll onto the gas to bring the car up on boost....as RPMS build I am creating max boost and I immediately release the brake pedal and 900+Lbs ft of TQ launches me forward and I ram the living crap out of the poseur!!!!!!!

In NY it's more then common. I see everything anything with an AMG badge that isn't. It only bothered me once though. I seen white E class behind me with the E63 front but I know that even E350's have this package now so I didn't get excited. He pulled up next to me and I see the 6.3 badge on the side but he had the E350 5 spoke rims not the E63 rims. I thought for sure it was a E63 and he kept inching up at the red light as I did so light turns green and the guy doesn't launch starts laughing as we sit at the green light for a few seconds and takes a right as I see E350 4matic in the back

100% Correct, these cars that are "non AMG" cars are either badged at the dealership or by private individuals, its been done for years
Well I used to flick them off, but most didnt know why I was upset so now if I see one badged with AMG and its clearly a fake i pull close up on their bumper and ride them for a bit....then I slow down some and create a distance of about 15 cars lengths, as I depress the brake pedal I slowly roll onto the gas to bring the car up on boost....as RPMS build I am creating max boost and I immediately release the brake pedal and 900+Lbs ft of TQ launches me forward and I ram the living crap out of the poseur!!!!!!!
