Getting sick of the Fakes!!
So I'm driving today and I see a new C class Benz riding my ass (not really but he was close to me) I'm doin about 80mph on the freeway (speed limit is 70) and he passes me. As he passes me i burst out in laughter as I see his C350 ///AMG badge on his car. Ridiculous. If you're gonna put a fake AMG badge on your Benzo, be sure to at least get the rest of the correct Alpha numeric badges like C63 ///AMG. Even then we can still tell its fake unless the correct body upgrades are done too. What a chump...I must've seen at least 3 different Benz's like this in the last 10 days...I've never seen a BMW with an ///M3 badge slapped on a 3 series...
Anybody else see this type of stuff? Last edited by primetime; 08-16-2008 at 03:21 PM.

Yeah, like one customer I have that has a frickin E30 with alpina and v12 emblems all over it... I must have replaced this idiots oil pan and pump about 6 times in the last 4 years from him pulling over parking bumps etc. Some people just have no common sense.

It's possible to have the AMG package on a Benz without getting the full tuning kit. Mercedes does offer the package so someone doesn't have to spend the cheese for a C63. I believe it's just wheels and suspension. I'm not a Benz fan but this is a nice option. Even BMW does this to some degree. ///M sports are offered throughout the lineup. So, just maybe this person wasn't a posser.............Phil

I hate when people add an ///M or AMG badge to regular cars. Trust me, BMW owners do this as well. There are plenty of people here who have an M on the back of their X5. Drives me crazy. I have even seen a 740i with an ///M on the back.  I have M3 wheels on my e36 325i, but I would never put an ///M on the trunk. Way too fake.

Thats correct. MB will not put an AMG badge on the back of any of their cars unless it is a true AMG...This tool slapped the badge on the back of his trunk and thought flooring it would do the trick....some people...

Yeah, I also regularly see "M" 525i, "M" 325i, etc. like when people spend the money for a full facelift, including fenders, to make their E60 525i look like an M5. But that V10 sound will never emit from your 6 cyl. exhaust with fake pipes hanging on the other side to emulate having dual exhaust... "why does only the left side tips get dirty?" idiots

I have seen many Benz's with AMG on the truck and it wasn't a 63(C63, E63, S63) class car. I'm not sure if MB has changed it's posture on the AMG line-up. I've gotta believe that every AMG I see is not a posser. At the end of the day, you gotta remember, it's their car and if modding the trunk helps them sleep better, don't disturb their groove

Chances are those are people slapping the AMG badge on after purchase. There are a lot of Benz owners that buy for status and if they can't afford a real AMG they add the badge themselves to look like ballers. I would bet all the MB's you see that aren't 63's, 55's are fakes. Unless someone can tell me positively otherwise, I don't see MB putting the AMG badge on a regular series car. That would cheapen the AMG brand.

 ..Plus its like, If they just left their Benz as is (C350 or whatever) Whats wrong with that? Its a decent ride. I'd give way more respect to them if they left it as is. Instead, they slap the AMG badge on and aren't fooling anybody. That doesn't make them look like a baller...It only makes that person look like a fool...
