^^ yah people do that for the reasons you described, but we all know they're not fooling us. The best i like to see is old 318i and 325i BMWs with M3 badges and bumpers as if we don't know what E36 M3 sideskirts look like.

This is related to Re-Badging -
Many times, the people that bought the 6 cylinder model hope that they can fool unknowing people into thinking the car is a V8 model. I've seen this done on the SC and GS cars. I've also seen people who have the latest generation Toyota 4 Runner who have installed the V8 emblem in the front grill, when under the hood there is the V6. I know its been done on other brands of vehicles also.
Kind of ridiculous to me, but whatever.

I saw some of the Black Pearl emblems at www.lextasy.com and on Ebay.
I like to debadge so that waxing and cleaning are easier ;-) I hate spending the time to go around all the edges and the white powder that shows up when I get lazy ;-)

I agree with the waxing , much easier now.. I just think it looks much cleaner.. i've installed the little trunk spolier since this photo, looks even better now.
Also installed the carbon fiber insert in the front logo, looks sweet with Flint color..
