Its not ricey in the least, its just showing what the car really is.

Imagine as a Corvette fan that Chevrolet, for some reason, badged the Corvette in say...Ethiopia as the Cervorte. To us its "nah, its a Corvette!" because its an american car being sold in a foreign market. So you, being a vette fan and buying one while working in ethiopia (bear with me here) decide to rebadge it to its proper name. Is that wrong?

Same thing here...Japanese car (I can't speak for other car makers except Nissan and Toyota, who's sports cars are all shipped from japan, not built state-side) is sold in america with a different name. Nothing wrong with changing it to its true home identity imo.

If I had money (I say taht a lot, I know) and could afford the zenki Sprinter Trueno front bumper/rear bumper combo, I'd have a Trueno badge on the front, GT-V door stickers, and GT-V/Sprinter Trueno stickers on the hatch.

just laugh at anyone who would call that "ricey".
