if you say badging it to try to hide that it is a chrysler is ricer? I think its more like its badging by chrysler would be ricer in your classification... for obvious reasons mentioned a million times before... and if you can't call this car a mercedes you can't call it a chrysler either... this does not apply to either of the situations that you mentioned regarding the Mercedes and Honda badging...
What does it state on the title? Point, set, and match.

Rice has many meanings. Rice is something done by ricers. Changing emblems in order to fool the ill informed is rice. Personally most guys like me, who know about cars would find it rather humorous.
Another example of rice, is underglows, and lambo doors. Useless.
Leave that to the kids with the econoboxes, you have a higher niche car. Be happy about it.
EDIT: If you had a 300C, would you take of the 300C emblem and make it a E570? or the SRT-8 version a E61? Because the LX shares the platform of the old E class.
