This type of thing almost makes me embarrassed to own this car.

I personally like it. It's def. personalized, and a fun way to make your car unique. If you're not having fun with it I don't see there being a good reason for doing it.

If you put a Peugot or Ferrari badge on your 86, do us all a favor and drive off a cliff. Same goes for Lexus.

LOL!
The owner of that video posted it here several months ago thinking it was the coolest thing ever. Soon after, as you can imagine, he started getting ripped on pretty hard and the video was quickly taken down. I'm pretty sure this image is all that remains. I wonder if he still has those badges on it.... I am all for someone making a car unique and even if I don't agree with the styling choices some make or they don't agree with mine, its all good. We're all enthusiasts in our own way and that should be celebrated. However, deliberately badging a car to make it appear to be; A: More valuable. B: Has performance parts that it doesn't have. C: Capabilities that the car simply doesn't have. ..makes you a huge tool and stand-by for the vehement thrashing that will inevitably ensue from people once your FRAUD has been discovered! Scott

Well in all fairness shouldn't the same standards be held against those who put Toyota badges on a scion or Subaru? You're trying to make your car be something it's not

While I don't really see the benefit of badging toyota here in the states, I really don't have a problem with seeing toyota rebadges since the car is a 'yota.

I agree with this, actually. I REALLY do not understand the rebadging thing at all...even from Scion to Toyota. Everyone says they switch from Scion to Toyota because of the stigma the Scion brand carries with it...however, in my opinion, people who rebadge their cars are sort of the reason why the stigma exists in the first place.
