Wow, that humility sure didn't last long here.

Use dental floss to remove the badges after the car being in direct sunlight for several hours. Works like a charm.

Thankfully, I don't think that anyone makes cf stick-on B pillars for our cars.

Tommy, it sure didn't last long. Oh well, keeps the forum entertaining at least.

ROLLNNN

theres a diy around here somewhere. if not there are a few on youtube.

If you dont have sunlight, use a hairdryer and dental floss, then cleanup residue with 3m residue remover.

I believe they sell the stick on cf pillars on ebay for around $80

Taking off the rear badges is very easy. Just need a little heat to loosen the tape then remove dental floss or a non-marring plastic trim tool, starting at one corner and working across badge, keeping heat on the tape as you work the badge. They come off quickly. There are threads on this forum that address this question, so use the search function on the site.

However, the MB star on the rear deck is attached with clips mounted through the trunk and not tape, so if you attempt to take that off, you could break it and/or end up with three holes showing from where the badge attached, unless you access it from the trunk panel to remove it correctly. All other badges are just held secure with double-sided tape. Also make sure to use an adhesive remover that is not too harsh to clean up any residue. Don't use something so strong it softens the paint. Usually a bio-chemical or water based remover works just fine and does not eat at the paint

Ebay always has these types of CF window pillar trim pieces available. Just make sure your surface is properly prepped before adhering the double-sided taped pillars to the car, as they can come loose from lack of adhesion and or the tape gets really hot in the sun and loses its grip.

I have seen these fly off at speed on an Audi S4 going down the freeway due to incorrect mounting of the parts or no prep on the paint prior to installation.

Got to watch his $60+ purchase literally fly out the window! Not cool.

I may have made this forum entertaining but I never told you I plan on keeping it that way. I have like 200 post, becuause I did 9000 searches and all these same stupid question come up every week. How can i make my c230 faster, how can I add my ipod, how do I put in Hids, what amp for my sterio, will these wheels fit.

If any one ever FN read they would see the search and the thread that answers every questions noobs have.

Any also there was nothing in the sticky about lying about having a c350 LOL
