Default Ingenious or stupid?

Since I'm in the marker for a jeep and driving on my 2.5 hour intestate trek back home from LSU I was wondering what you guys thought of this:

Say you were selling a wrangler X to upgrade to another vehicle (another jeep obviously :rockon: ). If you slapped rubicon decals and a 2.5 inch lift on it and went to sell it to a random car lot do you think they would notice? Not an official "dealership" but an average used car lot.

I would think this would be an easy way to get a few more grand off a jeep. It's obviously a douchey move and I'd never do it or condone it but what do you guys think?

They would know... the VIN is going to let them know and must used car trade guys are going to know the differences.

Ingenious or Stupid? Yes......and Yes. If this is actually gone through with, some where down the line there will be a thread dedicated to "Rubicon that is not a Rubicon, found for sale" or "Fake Rubicon found on Used Car lot" or "Newbie Jeep buyer who may have just been screwed...."

Karma is a bitch, don't mess with the Jeep Gods sense of humor.

I can imagine some a**hole has tried it at one point or another. It's amazing how many people out there don't know their info though.
