I don’t get these people, the fake M BMW people either. Do they think we are fooled? Do they just think it looks good and don’t care what everyone thinks? I find it hard to believe this kind of thing isn’t for others to see, maybe they think girls won’t know?

I always find the people who don’t notice don’t care, and the people who do care spot it immediately. So all-in-all a pointless exercise apart from making the driver feel like they’re driving something way better than they’ve actually got. And in that respect, I can’t begrudge them. Why not feel good?

The weird part of this trend can be summed up in two facts:
The people who are aware of your goal know better.
The people who don’t know better are likely not impressed.

The girls it brings in aren’t enthusiasts, and the enthusiast girls will be repelled. In biology we call that a negative selection.

Eloquently put, my friend.

Give me a new respect for people that do this.
Stop fucking around, and just throw a Mercedes badge on it.

I grew up in Hawaii and certain cultures like that style, you will see Filipinos in Hawaii take a brand new Jeep and cover it will shiny pin stripes and strange decals. Not just young people, I had a neighbor, old man with a brand new Jeep Cherokee put crap all over it before it even had plates. And I know from being overseas that the bedazzled look is really a big thing in some places. Now that isn’t always a brand/high performance deception, I have seen Ferrari etc... on things that are obviously not, they just put it on there. So in this case I don’t know, but some cultural trends are not really what we think it’s about. The guy with a five year old BMW near me with and M stripe and an M glued on the back , I don’t know his motives either....

At a certain point it’s just fun. I was going to put a trail rated or trailhawk on my CRV.

That’s actually kinda of impressive.

There’s a local highschool kid I see regularly who has a red Coblat coupe with all th Chevy badges replaced with Ferrari badging, and snowflake wheels with yellow center caps.

If it’s for fun and pretty well done I think it’s hilarious and I’m ok with it. If it’s a sleazy guy trying to fool girls then it’s just sleazy.

The hub caps are a nice touch.

could be worse, mind you it could be a whole lot better.

I mean, I really do like the color. But, the sticker rebranding is about as lazy as it gets. It still has the Infiniti badge and everything.
