I hate it.
Today, I took my Civic to Autobell for a car wash, and on the way home, I noticed a silver fifth-generation (W221) Mercedes-Benz S 550 sitting in the Red Lobster parking lot while I was waiting for the light to turn green. It looked very custom. I could only see the back of the car, and I noticed it had a lip spoiler (in carbon or gloss black), black wheels, and a custom rear bumper. The badges had been painted black. However, I saw that there was a custom badge where the AMG badge would usually go. I looked at it in more detail and found that it said “Black Series.” It really surprised me. I knew that there is no such thing as an S-Class Black Series. I just thought to myself "Why?" all the way home.

So what do you think about it?

I'm ok with debadging but don't add badges that shouldn't be there. It's basically trying to be something its not. But I mean if someone puts ferrari badges on a Prius i'm ok with that because its for the lols.

Our local Ferrari dealer had a Honda Ridgeline with a Maserati badge on it. I was in downtown one night and it drove by, and my friend was like, "Hey, where I can I buy one of those?". Once I told him it was fake, he said it was so stupid. I've also seen a base Ford Mustang with a Shelby badge on it and a Bentley with a Rolls-Royce badge.

The worst offenders are those people that put Bentley badges on Chrysler 300s

Personally I think it's a stupid thing to do. Most of the people that care about the badge on your car are people who know enough about cars to see that it's fake.
