Question Is this rice or just a poser?

What do you guys think about people that put Cobra emblems on non-Cobra cars?

The reason I ask is because back when I was younger, I wanted to turn my 5.0 into a Cobra coupe. I bought Cobra specific parts (intake, wheels, heads) and installed them with the goal of creating an LX Cobra Coupe (hence my username). I always felt Ford missed the boat when they based the 93 Cobra off of the hatchback.

I was going to concentrate on the exterior over the next year or so and collect some parts to have it refinished next winter/spring. I'm going to get a cobra-style wing and up until recently I was going to replace the 5.0 badges with Cobra emblems and toss an SVT badge on the trunk-lid. Now I'm wondering if putting Cobra emblems on a 5.0 LX or a 4.6 GT is the same as a Civic EX with an R emblem on it. I'm leaning towards not having any emblems on the car at all.

Thanks
