Umm no it is not. A badge is different by the very nature that it is verbally stating that "my car is this" when it is not. It is about deliberately misleading people who do not know any better.
Yes, it is wrong to lie. But if you are lieing, then you can not whinge when you are caught out.
Ummm no it is not, see above
Missed the point again Rodney. Putting a body kit on a car is not verbally stating in written text that your car is something else. Plus a front bar can be put on for aerodynamic reasons and to allow for the fitting of a large FMIC. Bodykits, rims, paint, wings, etc etc, don't verbally state in written text so everybody can read, that the car is something that it is not. So definitely an irrelevant analogy on your part.
who cares what their justification is for lieing, they are still liars.
