I was amused by the reaction I got two nights ago on my rebadged FR-S (Toyota badges, stripped the FR-S badge off)...
Was out late trying to find food, and this guy in an tuned EG6 Civic came up on me really fast, got alongside... then fell back suddenly, hung around behind me for a second, then got alongside again. When we pulled up to a stoplight, he was frantically motioning for me to roll my window down. "Man, that car is awesome! But what the hell is it?"
"It's actually a Scion FR-S."
His buddy hit him on the arm and said, "I TOLD you that was a Scion!" Driver laughed and said, "Alright, alright... your Toyota badges were throwing me!" Gave me another thumbs up, and drove off.
I was just amused that even amongst guys into cars, something as simple as a JDM rebadging could throw them on a car they're not used to seeing.
