You say this in a thread literally about a counterfeit coat. People don't have access to Mercedes-Benz knock-offs.

I'd hazard with luxury vehicles, showing off is part of the appeal.

Higher end Mercs and BMWs have had a "dechrome" in the options list for years. That's paying for removing all model badges.
