precisely. No one gives a crap what the car says on the outside as long as you have a license plate and registration that matches.

I don't know how anyone could take these threads as anything else but shitposting.

All the base Chevelles that say SS
All the base Tempests that say GTO
All the base Mustangs that say Cobra
All the base Firebirds that say Trans Am

I could go on for hours like this!

Sorry I didn't mean the badge I just meant how they identify the car.

I just bought my new 2015 Scion FR-S, and on the paperwork it's a Toyota FR-S. Now you all have me totally paranoid!

That's because Chevy makes the Camaro, not the Camero.

LOL I am pretty sure I have seen more than one Camero SS. You have to be careful when you order those knockoff Chinese badges.

Just got my registration and it has mine listed as Toyota. No model name and having four doors too. Need to go get that fix when I get the chance but dealing with the Dmv is going to be so much fun.

Now I'm really scared. My BRZ isn't listed as Toyota, it's listed as Subaru. WTF DMV? Am I in trouble if I get pulled over?

Now put a Toyota badge on the rear and a FRS badge underneath. If anybody says anything just pop the hood and show them the cover that says both Subaru and Toyota on it.
