Well some people believe that integrity is always important and any falsification, whether it's passing your car off as one that some consider to be fancier or as a lesser one to win a $5 to $10 illegal street race or cheating on taxes or an old lady out of her savings, is always wrong.
But not everyone is made of the same kind of moral fibers, so if you're the type of person that needs to lie to others and convince yourself that it's not a big deal because you're not hurting anyone, by all means continue to put Veyron stickers on your Carrera.

Here's what happens with ethics and integrity don't matter when you're "not hurting anyone" and doing things that are "perfectly legal" and it's "just business" or whatever excuse to justify your actions:

LMAO. I guess Porsche walked right into this one.
Who wants a "turbo" badge anyway if it's not reflecting the actual "Turbo" model? Every car has a turbo. Chevy Cruz can accurately use a "turbo" badge.
Maybe I'll go searching eBay for an "N/A" badge.

Misleading or not... I hate excessive badges on cars. Just looks so cluttered, especially with their close proximity to the license plate. This is even worse because it adds a third line when there is normally only two (or one if you are like myself and just went with the "Porsche" badge).

Interesting that last week at cars and cofffee someone took upon themselves to school me on why I should have bought an S and how my base 911 sucked.... all because I took off the "911 carrera S".... the base cars don't suck and mine isn't a base. Easy tell sign is red brakes, which could be painted but not likely.
People that care, know. They can identify the car without relying on a badge. People that don't care can't tell the difference between a base 997.1 and a turbo S 991.2.
