I put a Heritage Grille on my SS, does that mean I am an imposter?

No because the Heritage Grill is an option…

That is a stupid comparison dude…..

My feeling is it depends on if you are going for a different look, or trying to fool someone into thinking you have a different car..

Two different things.

People put ZL1 fascias, spoilers, side skirts, SS/V6 fascias, or heritage grills because they like the look of the part. Hell, feel free to change the color of your LT/SS/RS/ZL1 emblem if you like, so that it'd match your ride.

IMHO, rebadging your ride to something it's not is just blatantly lying about your car. You aren't doing it because of looks, you are doing it to either feel better about what you have, trying to fool other people into thinking you have something you don't, or both.

But, at the end of the day, it's up to the person who owns the car that decides what they like or don't like.. Screw everyone else's opinion, it's a free country.

Hey, I know what a 2SS/RS is, I have one! And a vert to boot, which I know to be a convertible. Get it, got it.

When I saw the car at Wal-Mart it looked "sort-of" like an SS, but no front mailslot, and the brake calipers seemed smaller and chrome plated over, not seeming as if Brembo originals. Car did have some nice pinstriping details and the interior looked to be leather, but dang if I checked for the SS headrest inlays or the RS halo lights, as the SS badges front and back were red denoting SS/RS.........................

Sorry folks, didn't mean this thread to go viral. Careful what you ask a question around here about.....

Here's the thing: Has there been an SS without the tell-tale "mailslot", because this one DID NOT have it. I looked inside and it was an A6 and what looked like leather seats.

Finally, and this pisses me off, as I knew better, but it was a red badged SS, meaning SS/RS but I didn't note if the headlights were RS halos or not. Sorry.

So question, can this be an SS/RS or is it an imposter?.....
people do stupid things. why let small things like that piss you off? Your not buying it are you.? To hell with him. Its peanuts

I agree. I think that most people who misbadge their cars are trying to fool somebody IMO
