Ricerish is telling people that a WS7 or WS9 was a factory option that was better than a WS6 (not directed toward Runn WS7, cause he said he just liked the way the emblem looked). I tell anyone who asks that it is not a true SS, but if they don't ask, what is it hurting that I am not yelling it out everywhere I go that it is not an SS. Nothing.
I really don't care if he was serious about the Ranger comment. I mean it might have been funny if I were putting an SS hood and emblems on a cavalier or something. Then it would have made sense, but the way he used it just made him sound like a *******. And so you are saying if someone offered you an excellent deal on a 69 Camaro that had SS badges on it, but had started out life as a basic coupe with the 307 in it, you would not take the offer because it was not a real SS? I highly doubt it.

Honestly, your car wasn't rice until you put SS badges on it and started telling everyone it's an SS. Props for telling the truth, but its still kind of ricey.
Are you serious by the way, they don't make Lightning body kits for Rangers? I wonder what mine is then... hmmm

Whoever said he doesnt deserve the right to is a fricken retard, he even said that if anyone asked him, he would say its a Z. Hes not posing if hes admitting what it isnt, but has the features of an SS to back it up.

I have to agree with Josh, this is no different then putting Type R badges on a Honda.

Its different if you car was just as fast as one. Thats not proving that you have Z06 or SS features, that just shows you made your car faster. The reason I say this is because there are so few visual differences between a v6/z28/ss or even a coupe/z06. Aside from performance modifcations all I would have to do it put an SS exhaust, an SS hood, and maybe rims on, and your average camaro fanatic wouldnt be able to tell if I were crusing past (aside from the sound). But I'm just saying, its not that hard to look like an SS, and if you did the engine work, I would say technically its not an SS, but in a way it is.

You should really go buy some Z28 stickers and put them all over your car.. I mean they look virtually the same right?

You guys are F U C K-tards. You are not even getting the point. The comment about the corvette was absolutely the dumbest thing I believe I have ever had the displeasure of reading on the net.
"my Vette was running 11's, should I have put Z06 badges on it?" WTF?! Who said anything about how fast my car was? Was your vette an FRC with the brake vents, and Z06 wheels, red fuel rail covers, ect.? If not, then hell no you shouldn't put the badges on there if you are gonna tell people its a real one. I am not a poser or ricer for having badges, I just like the way they look better and hell, they were on the car when I got it. I knew it was not a real SS but I did not care. Hell, even the v-6 f150 comment made no forking sense either! If its got the same MOTOR work and everything else done to it as a lightening, why the hell should the owner not be able to make it look just like one too? Just cause you spent way too much freaking money on yours and he did his on his own, doesn't give you the right to knock him for it.

I'm not positive, but I believe SLP does the same type of thing.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you your car doesn't look like a SS, because I'm sure it does, but that still doesn't make it a SS. I have no doubt in your mind that the SS badges look better, but thats selling your car as a SS, not what it really is. ****, you have a Berger panel on it too, why not sell it as a Berger?
Better yet, why not go on eBay, buy a crown and a septor and start telling people you're the king. Ricer.

hey look, this ssmokd guy came to the board with a stick up his ***, but since he came here that way lets just leave it.
you are a poser, whether your attitude reflects it or not, your car is posing as an ss when it is not. you may think you resemble a ss in every way, but you will always miss one thing...the RPO code. thats the whole idea we are discussing.
