Lotus Elise SLK55
I have this idiot in my building driving around in a SL500, rebadged as an SL55 (not only the rear badge, but side V8 Kompressor too!). I honestly don't understand why anyone would do that, since the only people who know what SL55 AMG is, also know that it has quad-exhaust, big brakes, and AMG bodykit. I even saw some of my other neighbors with real AMG's make fun of his car lol! I think those idiots don't realize that they will actually get more negative reactions from real AMG enthusiasts that positives ones from regular people who don't even know what AMG is. Poor fools...

I laugh when I see falsely badges vehicle because it shows how insecure they are that not only is it ot good enough that they are able to afford a mercedes but no they have to go and lie to us about which model it is as if we wouldnt respect them if it didnt have the "expensive" badging on it...Reminds me of my friend that showed up with a brand new 2.5rs subaru and tried telling me and all of my friends that it was a WRX. My friends and I know a great deal about cars immediately called him out on it...not because we care if he badged it that way, but because it was more like a insult of my intelligence to actually put this 2.5rs in my face and tell me its a wrx. It was actually comical.

Lookin' different
Hell Yeah it looks different!! Even the badges itself I can tell they're counterfeit. You'd be better off without those 55's and AMG badges man and don't put anything. At least leave the people guessing and wondering what type of E is that 320, 420 or if you are lucky maybe the most they would guess it as a 430( I doubt that) but not 55's dude.Please! Oh take off the E as well. But, keep the E as that's the only authentic character.ok Trust me.
