Default Re. Swapped owners, do you rebadge?

For all you swapped Ti owners, do you rebadge the trunk? Just a general question. Thanks in advance.

I pulled the '318' part but left the 'Ti' badge there. dunno, I personally wouldn't do the '330' or '332' frankenstein badge but I've seen it on other cars and it doesn't look too bad... I think it's more fun to let 'em wonder though.

Mine says 328ti.
I had 328tii but that took too much explaining.

I did a turbo and stroke to 2.1L but left the 318 badges. I like the sleeper look so when someone f'es with me and gets bitch slapped they don't know what hit them

Yeah. I kinda want to add the "328". People have no idea what's under the hood. But that is also a good thing as well. But it is "special". Without it, people assume its just a mildly-dropped, stock 318ti.

At local car meets, the car never gets any attention. I guess people dont really care about it, even though it's relatively rare.
