Intake, Brakes, AMG emblem
Hey,
I have a 95' C280 with modifications and would like to buy an intake. I've been trying to choose between the Dragon Weapon-R carbon fiber intake or the HKs super mega flow intake. I was wondering if anyone has these intakes or knows anything about them and which one is better, and also where I can get factory size cross-drilled rotors as well as if anyone has bought an AMG trunk emblem for their car and if so where did you get it from and does it look real?

I would go with neither. From what I have heard the HKS is just not worth anything. Many have complained about rough idling and strange noises once it is installed also no performance gains. The stock airbox seems to be the best or with simply a new filter. I have seen one custom intake with enclosed filter that seems to be better, but it will be hard to keep the hot air away from any open ended filter intake system. Just my $.02

well i've seen two AMG trunk emblems, one on some site that was selling for $15 and it looked like a cheap sticker type thing, but I don't know if it was just the picture, it said it would adhere to the car because it had a 3m sitcker material on it, is this how the are normally put on, and I found one that looks real in the performance products magazine, has anyone bought one, and if so where from?, how does it go on?, and how much does it cost to get the old C280 badge shaved off?

Get the one from performance products but if its more tham 60 bucks then get it at your dealer. But i would wait and keep looking on ebay you can find the real thing for 12 bucks.

To remove your current badges:
Take some dental floss (yes, dental floss) and simply run it between the badge and trunk. It is only held on w/ 3M double sided tape.
Simple, now just clean it up w/ bug and tar remover, or adhesive remover. Make sure you wash and wax immediately following the removal, to save the paint.

floss isn't always strong enough and sometimes frays or breaks which can be a big pain in the ***. i've found that a strong but soft fishing line works pretty well at removing badges.
