No problem. I dont know if you have a wing or not but if you dont and plan on getting one get a ticker size because then you can cut it into smaller strips for the letters and still have a thick enough for wing (kill two birds with one stone).

I don't think so. From what I heard there is a screw. Why, did they take that off?

The Benz emblem is attached to the trunk from 3 points.

You can use 3m Automotive tape to reattach the spoiler. Just make sure the poundage on the tape is pretty high and when you install it to let it cure overnight with some weight on the spoiler to ensure its on there correctly.

To clarify this, there are no screws - the three points are just prongs, and nothing needs to be done on the inside to be able to remove the star from the outside.

Nice, do they easily come off? I should look into making the emblems flat black.

If you have patience, yes. Just wiggle the emblem from the center carefully at first. Then get in a putty knife, and push the emblem out a little at at time, going from behind each prong, then on to the next one, push it out a little, on to next, and so forth until you can remove it easily.

When you do paint the emblem, tape off the prongs - they're a very tight fit, and if you get any paint on them, it's harder to push it back flush with the body.
