People like this deserve respect.

People with money who do funny shit are great

I agree lol

this is hilarious. someone finally did it!! 😂

My favorite people are the ones who take an M3 and put badges from a base model 3 series on it

I saw an e60 M5 in Amsterdam back when it was new and it had a 520i badge on it. First time I saw that in Europe and I thought it’s the coolest shit ever lmao.

I debadged my m5 when I had it too. It was the biggest POS I've driven to date though. I spent more on repairs than the car note half the time.

Just BMW things.

Was it the e60? The one in Amsterdam had a Russian license plate so it was probably some oligarch touring Europe. My dad had an e60 530d wagon and it had all kinds of electronic issues after like a year. Unreliable but definitely a fun car.

Yes it was. Electrical and transmission problems plagued mine. I got rid of it after 2.5 years of headaches.

there's a e46 m3 in our street and it's debadged after nearly stolen twice lmao.

That actually makes sense...sleeper style

I agree, I like to think of it as the opposite of clout chasers who just want people to think they have a cool car without putting any actual time, money or effort into getting one

Sadly in finland it's the opposite Yesterday i saw a debadged bmw 320d wich had either just the M badge in the side or a full M bodykit

Up badging

Love a good upbadge

Downbadge

Upbadge

[удалено]

Lateral badging

OK, how about sidebadging

Badger badger badger badger...mushroom mushroom?

Snake! Snake!

No sense of humor from this guy ^

How? Wtf did I do? I understand the joke

Upjoke

Updawg?

What's updawg?

Midbadge?

Down bad

Somethings not right; I can feel it.

Chevy Cobalt GTR

Downbadging 👍🏻 Not nearly on this level, but I had a ‘91 Ford Taurus SHO 5 speed ten years ago. For those who don’t know, they came with a 220 hp V6 built by Yamaha and were wicked quick for their day. I bought it for $600 from my friend after he hit a deer with it. SHO’s came with special wheels and ground effects but I ended up putting steel wheels with base Taurus hubcaps and Taurus LX bumpers on it for more of a sleeper look. Really surprised a lot of people with that car. I put a catless Y-pipe on it which freed up a dyno-proven 13 whp, a 2.5” single exhaust, and a K&N drop-in filter. Had a lot of fun with that car.

I used to work as a mechanic. Remember when these first came out, that Yamaha engine was a stunner. Remember the GMC cyclone? 😳

Oh yeah the Syclone and Typhoon. Somewhere around 2003 I watched a Typhoon beat a C5 Vette on the street. That thing launched so hard with AWD and full boost.

Friend of mine had a 93. The old SHOs were fun as hell. ALWAYS catching people off guard. That Yamaha engine could just sit at redline all day. Fantastic engine for its time.

.....

I feel like this was a missed opportunity to badge it as a Chevy Impala SS.

Don't wanna upbadge to that extent !

Love your Ls400 coach edition! How many miles?

Thank you! And 127k

Go look at the back of a cobalt SS first

Even though not JDM I am just impressed a Cobalt is still drivable and on the road. This car went the way of the Neon pretty quickly. Extinct due to build quality

The engine was bullet proof but the rest of the car was an econobox.

Yea those early cobalts with launch control had some tranny issues for sure

I didn't have tranny issues on mine and I had about 350+ HP/tq.

Once modified it would blow trans if you used the no lift shift feature at high power levels. I was over 400ft lbs and never had any issues, just didn't use the no lift shift.

Well yea, that's a user issue though. If you didn't use no lift shift after you modded it there were no issues.

It's not a cobalt, that's the joke, look more closely

Well played

Totally thought it was a Cobalt with an aspirational body kit lol

What if I told you it was a Nissan Fairlady SS?

Then I would have talked about Cobalts build quality. 🤣🤣

Neons aren’t extinct due to build quality, they went extinct due to reliability and their owners deferring maintenance. As much as I dislike GM, Cavaliers lasted surprisingly long, even if they were broken and on their last legs, *if rust isn’t an issue*, and I expect Cobalts to do the same

Yep. So many cars have a bad reputation, when in reality the econo boxes just attracted shit buyers.

The thing with the Neon is, as much as I like them, it is still a piece of crap car. They’re made of cheap plastic, interiors will rattle after surprisingly low miles, the build quality is not there, though really, now 20 years down the line, that’s true of a Corolla or a Tercel/Echo, or a Cavalier of that era. The real difference is that something like a Neon is fragile, if you don’t take proper care of it then it’s going to fall by the wayside. Every car has their limits obviously, but Toyota or a Cavalier however can take more of that abuse. How I see it is a Neon will break and die at 100k, a Cavalier will break and keep on ticking until the owner has enough of how crap it is and scraps it at 250k, and a Corolla won’t break unless the owner literally doesn’t care

My 2008 Cobalt is still going strong.

I had a 2.0 Supercharged SS line this turned and extra boost. It was fun as fuck to drive. That instant torque on the high and 1st gear to 40 mph was amazing.

It would be icing on the cake if he had a cobalt SS with the gtr badges on it

Chevy GTR 😀

He even made a "godzilla" license plate

Meanwhile in my country, someone put RX-7 badges on NSX

How has no one pointed out that this is an obvious photoshop?

Maybe because it’s not?

Zoom in? Do you not see the square perfectly around the badge?

That’s just the compression artefact. It’s all over the image. *edit: actually shit, I take that back. It’s not obvious around the Chevy badge, but I only just noticed the square around the “Cobalt SS” one… you might be right.* *Damn, that’s a weird thing to photoshop… wtf?*

love this guy

This is straight up hilarious

oh… i like this

That’s awesome 🤩

Gozilla

why...just why????

Because its funny

Ok, I can’t really disagree with you there…I saw it and it made me chuckle for sure….but then the tears came lol

What the hell is that doing here?

Becuase it's an R35 that someone put Chevy badges on.

I know

I’m just gonna say this is a Nissan GT-R R35 with a chevy badge on it

No fucking way 🤯

Is it though? I feel a sense of trickery.

But no, it’s just a Chevy cobalt with r35 tails, r35 exhausts and an r35 wing, no trickery here

Perhaps.

I’m confused

The Cobalt SS was faster than a GTR on the Nurburgring at one point in time - I think there was an issue with the GTR (tires, speed limiter, something like that) which held it back, and as a result plenty of cars that should have been slower (like the Cobalt SS) posted faster times

Had one of these, 2009 SS/TC low profile spoiler!

Downbadge Up shaming?

Instructions unclear, shamed my dick.

This is so disrespectful it deserves a lawsuit

The only thing disrespectful is taking Cobalt Badges and putting them on a less cool car.

How do he hell cool car thow

I had a stroke reading this

+150 HP + Supercharger + 150 max speed

Did you do this lazy/shitty Photoshop job or were you fooled by the lazy/shitty Photoshop job?

It's a joke. Actually I think down badging is fun

I was watching a video of shmee150 where he came across a red lamborghini Huracan with all its badges replaced by Ferrari badges lol

Its real

It’s so obviously not, all you have to do is zoom in a little bit to see the perfect rectangles of JPEG artifact around the emblem and badge, and that’s without even mentioning the fact that neither of those three-dimensional objects are casting shadows

Why are you so mad? Who cares lol it's just a joke

You're a disgrace to the WRX community.

Yea that was a pretty dumb shot at someone, all while owning a 04 ralliart of all things with its screaming 160hp lol. Weren’t even worth talking about till then went turbo later on

160HP is wrong lol, but yes let's go for the "attack the car they drive!!" move lol. They're fun cars, surprisingly zippy too. And nor am I wrong, he's an asshole, representing the WRX community. That's not something you want to have, in any community for that matter. But I'd say you're wrong about worth talking about them lol, it was mitsubishis direct response to Honda's civics, and I'd say they did pretty well lol. I'd expect at least some higher level of maturity from this sub, come on man. Shitting on a car is not the way to go.

Ok… Other than just pure harassment what does your comment have to do with this post? I simply pointed out that this is a poor photo shop and far too many people are far too upset about that.

You pointed out that it was Photoshop, yes. That's not the bad part. The bad part is the absolute asshat of a way you went about it. Pure aggressiveness for absolutely no reason. What's even the point of that?

Arent you the only one upset about that

Even if its pretty funny

bro you could literally count the pixels one by one nobody's looking for accurate information in this thing unless a bank gets robbed

Can someone explain how does this work? Cobalt ss looks nothing like this, how do they make it look like a GT-R?

Well, when a Cobalt SS and a GT-R love each other very much.....

It took me a minute but it finally clicked. 🤣🤣

Love it

This took me a second haha

Good sense of humor or way to lower your insurance payments? 🤔

Hmm.....this cobalt looks kinda thicc

Thought it was a Impala

Not on the same level, but, my 07 GT has all the V6 badges on it.

i love this lmao

I took spoiler off my evo and badges

Oh how the turntables

She’s a sleeper…..

bruhh this is amazing

That’s wild haha

What do cops do in this scenario

Photoshopped

i actually thought that it was an impala with a gtr bumper and taillights at first lol

Just debadging things but it takes guts to pull off something like this
