Default Why the hell do people rebadge cars that shouldnt be?

I completely understand why people rebadge their Gs to Skylines, cause they technically are, but why do people rebadge their cars from one model to another?

For example, I was out driving and I see a current-gen corvette and as I approach closer, I see ZR1 badging on it. Im like 'wow, I didn't even know they were available yet!' Upon pulling up even closer, I don't see the CF top, or the bulged hood w/ the engine showing, nor the other little mods a proper ZR1 should have. I just don't get why people do it, especially to relatively higher end cars. The only people that would give respect to him for having a ZR1 will actually know what it looks like....so whatever respect I had for the guy driving a vette went down to 0 for making it seem something it isn't

I've also seen this on several BMWs, where guys rebadge their 330i to M3 and honestly expect people to believe that its a M3. Seriously, I have absolutely no respect for those people and even called a guy out on it. He was just embarrassed, as he should be. I can't be the only one who thinks its retarded to do this, right?
