Ok....so I dont know the complete history of my VX, but as the story goes....

2 owners ago, the guy re-badged my VX as a Ferrari. Did a good job too. Put the right badges in the right location. The badges didnt stop me from buying the VX, nor did it bother me for the year and a half that I have owned it. However, I have been getting sick of the "is that a ferrari!!" comments. I would much rather get the "what is that" comments. Some lose interest after I tell them it isnt a ferrari. I wouldnt have put the badges on if it was me, but I dont see anything wrong with doing it. In my opinion, the second you mod one item, you have changed the original Vehicle. Perhaps the gentleman that did the rebadging was a ferrari enthusiast. Same as wearing a team jersey when you clearly dont play for the team....who knows......

.....ANYWAY.......Here are my results.

What she said... glad you were okay with it, would have been priority #1 for me to have those removed after I bought it. Rebadging is SUPER tacky in my opinion. :thumbdn:

Ya the only rebadging that is "ok" to me is if your making a copy of say a Lexus SC300 that overseas is a Toyota Soarer. I've seen guys swap out airbags and emblems and what not to do that and in that case it looks good. He did go all out though to make it a "Ferrari" lol. Looks much better! I took my Isuzu emblem off the front of mine the other day (putting the VX one in there) and removed the Isuzu from the rear door (kinda wondering if I like it off now or not). Looking good Jamas :dance:

removed the Isuzu from the rear door

Someone was looking for one of those a few weeks back, not sure if yours is "reusable" after removal, but you can search and find the guy that wanted one.

Well you are right...the previous owner sure did do a good job with the placement at least.

Ya I remember him and I was actually trying to save it for him but the last U fell apart, it was brittle for some reason :(

I love the debadged looked for those comments exactly. :)

Just saw this. You did a great job removing the badging cleanly. I'll bet that took some elbow grease. Looks good. I see you added your own "badge" to the window. Now it is distinctly yours!
