Yeah, unfortunately Mustang owners are horrendous for doing this and it's not just the guys with the older, clapped out ones either. There's one person in particular in the garage here at work that has a badge modified 2010ish V6 made to look like a GT. Hell, we even have guys with new '11+ GTs that are creating Boss "tribute cars" over on the Mustang forums, which I suppose is the polite, PC way of saying knock off or fake. I don't understand the motivation to make people think you have something that you don't. Anyone that knows enough to appreciate what you're trying to pass your car off as will probably be able to spot the fake and anyone that can't won't care anyway.

I have a big pet peeve about people putting fake badges on their cars. Sure it's their car and their choice, but it's also my choice to make fun of them.

I see your point, but that WRX in the picture could very well be an STi. A lot of STi owners of that era disliked the big wing and traded out trunks with WRX owners to get the smaller wing. He has the STi wheels too, so either he put a lot of effort into his fake, or its a legitmate STi. I tend to think it's the latter but its hard to tell without seeing the front - most people don't switch out the hood scoop and the HIDs.
