Trolling is just doing something to piss someone else off in good fun..for the one who commits the troll. Sometimes it's funny getting a rise out of someone, especially one that takes cars so seriously.
Just like trolling kiddie gamers on BF3 with your mic or typing lots of crap, or like the M3 with LOL VTEC as his lic plate. It's just a troll/joke. I laughed when I saw that plate, and if you're offended by something like that then you're taking things too seriously.
Which is more than likely at least one of the cars posted in this thread. That insight with the M sticker being one.
edit: and upon closer inspection, the insight picture is fake. reflection of the M doesnt even match the insight badge right under it.

Got nothing against M owners.

is this not the purpose of a troll? to throw out a totally misguided response to elicit a rise? I think what I'm saying worked already.

OK, ez12a-knock it off. You're not contributing anything positive here. And it's getting this way off topic.

Seen on the freeway this morning (it was too dark to get a cellphone pic) - a mid-90's, green, Honda Civic sedan with........Acura badges. 
Make it stop...please...someone.

But, it doesn't look like either a TypeS or an Aspec, right? Both of those kinds of TLs have distinctive visual clues that your car lacks, correct?
does this mean i have to take off my AMG badge?

Look people have all types of opinions about modding cars. My opinion, and you (and others) are welcome to disagree, is that putting factory badges on a car when that badge doesn't belong there isn't a good mod. It just looks like someone is trying to fake it instead of getting the real thing.
When I had my TL, I didn't put a "Type-S" badge on it because it was never going to be a Type-S; especially, because it was never going to have a Type-S engine in it (which is the most important aspect of the Type-S). I put the A-Spec badge on my car only after I'd installed the A-Spec suspension since this was the most important performance part of the A-Spec package. But, hey, maybe that's just me.

I think the idea of "badging" out a car is pretty dumb anyways.
The only time I get bothered by seeing another TL is when it's clean as f***, and then i'm like ......(damn)
or when I see a complete chode behind the wheel of a beat up, neglected, dirty but still perfectly loyal TL.
and then i'm like ......(sigh).

...just stop putting "Type-S" badges on non-Type-S TL's. No one, but the ignorant, is being fooled. I saw another '04-'06 going down the freeway this morning with the "Type-S" badge slapped on below the "TL" badge. The sad thing is, this particular TL was quite nice otherwise; A-Spec Aero kit, nice wheels, etc.

Last thing I wanna do is advertise what level trim my car might be....if possible I would even remove the car make....doesn't make the car any faster having it or not having...but it'll definitely make people think.
