I am really debating changing P100D to P1000D just to see if anyone notices.

I play a nice person on twitter.
If the OP takes even more pleasure in his car with the upgraded badge, then go for it.
These upgrades go too far although one could honestly argue that today exhaust trim embellishments have reached a point of eye candy rather than any performance enhancement so why feel left out. I like the black one the best.

Hmm. A couple folks thought my Tesla looked like a Maserati for some reason - maybe I should get Maserati badging and really confuse people?

I have had the Maserati comment before also.Hmm. A couple folks thought my Tesla looked like a Maserati for some reason - maybe I should get Maserati badging and really confuse people?
If I were to change it I would do something odd like a P47D or something like that.
See if you can get an old Thunder bird badge and enough letters in matching script to make Thunderbolt - or take the easy way out and go P51D instead (which you can definitely get - You'd have to find an old 40 badge to get your 4) and add Mustang badging...
If you want to really screw with people, have it wrapped in zebra camo like a test mule but add a tunnel ram hood scoop on the front.
And an 8" pipe coming vertically out of the Frunk, like those Diesel pickup guys sometimes do...

I've always had a fondness for the Alfa Romeo badge... not that I would put one on some other car; I just happen to like the design.
It's your car, do as you please and whatever makes you happy. We buy cars for our pleasure, not for others. Everyone will always have an opinion but in the end, it's you making the payments! I say go for it!

This. On the BMW M5 board I'm on, we mercilessly ridicule people who take an ordinary E39 5-series and badge it up with all the M badges and accessories, like the rear spoiler. But those of us with the real thing can tell in an instant which cars are real M cars -- there are several very subtle queues and features the posers never pick up on.. like the rear-view mirror is oval, not square. Side mirrors also oval, not square. One of the biggest telltales is the quad exhaust.. It's funny to see a tricked out 525i with the M5 badge and single exhaust.
I swear I saw exactly that parked in a driveway in my neighborhood. I did a double-take and continued on.
What is so funny about this?
Manufacturers do the exactly the same thing. They glue spoilers, ground (in)effect(ive) panel, bling wheels, fake intake/cooling scoops, and stick badges on them to make them look faster.
Rebadging in your driveway is a lot cheaper and every bit as effective.
I'm more into building sleepers.

Manufacturers might bling up their cars for profit, but none of them badge a car differently than it's actual configuration.
I don't care how much people want to bling up their cars, but rebadging? That's like cheating at solitaire. What's the freaking point?
