If different body parts meant you were a poser, people would rage at aftermarket parts designers who make parts that fit on all models, like the Aggressor body kits. They fit on everything. You'd never be able to tell what it was by looking if the car had no badges on it. And even then, badges can be misrepresenting. In my opinion, the thing that people shouldn't do is misbadge their car. If you have a V6, don't put SS or ZL1 badges on it. If you have an SS, don't put LS or LT badges on it. If you have a ZL1, don't put SS, LT, or LS badges on it. But just because I think they shouldn't do it doesn't mean I have the right to tell them so. Like I mentioned in a post earlier, there's a guy I work with who drives a Gen4 LT with both LT and SS badges on it. Do I think he's an idiot for having both badges on there? Hell yes I do. Would I still think he's an idiot for misbadging his car, even if he took the LT badges off? Hell yes I would. Do I care enough to go after him for it? No. I get more enjoyment from watching him look like a derp than I would from telling him how dumb I think he is. I have a 1LT and I'm going to put aftermarket 20" SS wheels on it once my tires need replaced. These, to be exact: http://www.factoryreproductions.com/...-Black-c48.htm And I'm going to put NS-1 stripes on my car. I've seen something like 49823795 SS's on this website with NS-1's. Does that mean I'm misrepresenting my car? No. My intention is to put my own aftermarket RS retrofit on my car, all the way down to the painted roof mouldings, then badge the RS onto the car. It'll be RS styled, just not factory. Do I care? No. RS is appearance only, not engine size or performance related what-so-ever. Will it piss some people off? Sure. But that's their problem, not mine. The best part is, it's not a waste of money for when I sell the car. Everything I'm doing to the car aside from a couple things here and there can be reverted back to stock then put on my next Camaro. And I THOROUGLY enjoy that idea. Do what makes you happy. To hell with everyone else. Last edited by Compunerd; 08-21-2012 at 08:26 PM. |

It's not just with Camaro's..I owned a 2002 Z06. And occasionally I ran into Z06 wannabes where they would add brake vents in front of their rear tires (these were stckem ons). And they would add 405 hp z06 badges to the front quarters..and these were not hard tops they were LS1s
 Be proud of what you have and celebrate that Bob |

Maybe his dealer told him his car was an LS3 and he believes it!

Wow!
9 pages...  I added a Hurst equipped badge in place of my rear SS badge... Am I posing?  Eventually, I'll have SLPs Redline wheels on my car... Is that posing? I have a cam, heads and full exhaust; now my car sounds like a race car... Is that posing?

I deleted about 60 posts from this thread. I swear to God - if one person posts anything related to a sexist/derogatory/etc comment I WILL ban them for 10 days.
