LCI headlight/tailights aren't stating anything but looks itself. so this is OK.
By puttin on Euro plates you're saying my car is a registed Euro car which is NOT. Same logic as putting on an M5 emblem on a non-M, it's simply NOT...Talk about comparing apples to oranges.

putting an M5 badge on a nonM5 is faking it, with the europlates i think no harm done its just decal brotha
They're both decals haha... but whatever im over this topic.

.....some like the look better. Kind of like how you came to purchase your e60 over any other car....
I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one....

Actually, you are somewhat contradicting yourself here.....
as you stated: not in europe, no europlate. So not an LCI, no LCI lights...correct?
But by my logic it would be for looks...just like a europlate...

A Euro plate does.
It's the same logic im using for the M5 emblem. You can get all the M5 parts in the world on your Non-M5, but that still doesnt give you any right to slap the "M5" emblem on there. Feel me?
But do what you like man... whatever floats your boat

Speed Force,
I agree and disagree with you but I appreciate the antagonism to keep us all real! The M badge is misrepresenting a non-M vehicle as an M when it is not. A euro car is a euro car whether it resides in the US or not. I have no problem representing the origin of the vehicle, just because it resides in the US. Would you have a problem with a Corvette Z06 in Japan with a US flag or plate? To each his his own. Represent... but but keep it real!
