@Lucas_Cardilli Dealer mark up meeting the demand price to sell many units makes sense, but dealer mark up to make a few big profits doesn’t. One is just the going rate and therefore really should be the MSRP and the other kills the car after a few models years.
One is an obvious joke which no one will take seriously. Just like saying that you want 1 million dollars in cash during job interview. The other is done because of some hidden mental disorder.
Upbadging is fine if you’re doing something completely absurd like putting a Ferrari badge on your GMC SUV. Someone in my neighborhood actually does that. That’s funny. But upbadging a BMW 3 series to an M3? That’s embarrassing
It depends, if it’s a badge off a higher trim of the actual car it’s unacceptable. However I had a friend who put 4 Quattro badges, a Toyota badge, an AMG badge, and a 5.0 badge off a mustang on his Volvo, that was pretty funny. His dad owned a body shop so he basically salvaged any badge that had to be replaced out of the scrap bin.
DOWNbadging is funny
The difference between men and women
Yeah, it’s like if you took a GT500 and putting ecoboost badges on it
debadging is where it is at
@jon what are you on about
@Lusjsj Msmsksm Did you watch the video?
You don’t like my Civic type R M5 STI variant?
I even have the GT version of that
That got nothing on my Kia Sephia Shelby TRD sportivo Batman limited edition
When you put it like that it’s funny like she says. When you try “to make it look realistic” at least to untrained eyes, that’s when it’s a problem.
That’s sick, almost like my Hellcat Veyron Turbo S Black Edition
I like the German way. No badges.
No reliability either lol
@Jess You forget Porsche?
@Jess That’s like, a pretty lukewarm take. BMW? Sure. But all German cars…?
@TakeNoShift Porsche has the same problems as every other German brand. It’s just nobody talks about it.
Upbadging is a lose/lose. Car people will know and judge you harshly and non car people won’t know or care, so “qui bono”?
Keep that same energy at a car meet and book your therapist in advance 😂
When Mercedes owners put AMG on the back of their car and it’s on the wrong side of the trunk or hatch
half the time it’s crooked and uncentered too, and they leave the original badge so it says “CLA 250 AMG”
My dad has a Glc220D AMG lol and I tell him to remove the AMG everyday 😂
This one was by far the worst opinion, with the dumbest supporting argument.
I think dealer the mark-ups opinion was as worse

There’s no supporting argument. You’re entitled to your opinion but your opinion can straight up be wrong
Upbadging is cringe, downbadging is ironic funny
“It’s treason then”
It is funny, but a real sense of humor is badging a McLaren as a Mazda or a 911 as a Camry.
My brother’s toyota echo has a Spirit of Ecstacy. It’s funny every time
Down badging is fun
UPBADGING is stupid
Okay but putting Ferrari badging on my fiesta is funny
I mean look. Unironical upbadging when you want to sell your bone stock C300 as an AMG is stupid.
But funni upbadging is funny
Up-badging for watch people is the same as wearing a fake watch. Totally unacceptable.
I agree to an extent. Like Ferrari badges on an MR2 I can get behind, but M3 badges on a 328 I hate.
I see a lot of M3 badges on 320d. The only funny part is when they accelerate and the car doesn’t go.
@Dranzellalso, when you see a puff of black smoke when they step on a gass
One is an obvious joke which no one will take seriously. Just like saying that you want 1 million dollars in cash during job interview. The other is done because of some hidden mental disorder.
A few days ago I saw an alpina badge on am old 318d (in different font). It was pretty hilarious ngl
Both are ricey, no wonder why up badging is untastefull.
Up badging is fine…. until you get gapped by a Kia and have to live the rest of your life being bullied for it. 🙃
De-badging ✅
Blacked-out badging ✅
Down-badging 😂
Up-badging 🚫
Depends on the up-badging. If you’re badging a Honda Civic as a Ferrari, then it’s funny. If you’re badging a Honda Civic as a CTR, then it’s stupid
@MrSoiSaucei saw an older chevy impala with nissan gtr badges 😂 i guess cause the tal lights sort of resemble the r34
@MrSoiSauce totally, if it’s clearly a joke I’m all for it
@KeepitClean a person with sense, and a sense of humor
Thats the worst take in human history

Never upbadge. Modify what you got till it’s even better than the higher model
