No, rebadging is different. VW heads don't put Merc wheels and act like they drive a Merc. Also, VW owners aren't ricers by any means, they are intense at DIY stuff and aren't tools. Why respect VW people? Because they know what they are doing, they don't put R32 badges on their Jetta and expect people to believe them. Ricers put random shit on their car in the hopes of fooling people that they have what they really don't. Yes, it is easy to look at ricers and the VW scene and think that they are the same. In reality, people tend to judge the VW crowd based on what they think they are. I understand their scene, their pursuit to be unique. Ricer's can't be respected because they put Type R badges on every panel. VW owners should be respected because more often than not, they know their car at an intimate level. Go through a ricer forum, then a VW forum and tell me that you respect ricers more.
