hey now i resent that sh*T  i just turned 22 and have believed in keeping it the same or completely debadged for cleanliness and sleeper effect so lets keep flamin the other guy and keep age stereotypes out of it. by the way, i speed everyday, have unsafe sex and go to rave parties  [/sarcasm]

Did you also alter it to the STi's drive system?
Anyway... I say an STi badge is false advertising and in poor taste.

I can agree to that.... at least the first three.... But we're not talking about some pro-street drag car, or a sprint car, or any kind of track car. Its a daily driver.
But thats all off-topic since its not an AD for anything, like a K&N sticker. Its an obvious misnomer of the car.
As for the fourth reason, I wouldnt want MY car in a magazine just because I have some company's sticker on it. I'd want it to be a full fold-out center-fold because my car is just that damn good.

What would you call it if, for example you put an SE badge on an SVT contour? Or in my friends case, wanting to put the Grand Prix Gt badge on his GTP? Is that also seen as wrong and "posing", or would it be different because he is trying to make his car a "sleeper" (Didnt know another choice on words)

No. Cause that is also misrepresentation.
If you want a sleeper just debadge it.
