Emblem question....
Stupid question, but...
Does anyone have a certain trick in sticking letters/emblem on the trunk?
Say "Brabus" there are 6 words.. so do you just stick them on directly? with no guidance.. Couldn't the letters be not squared up or have different spacing between them??
I'm jsut wondering if you guys have a certain way in doing it..
thnx anyways..

Well first off IF YOU BOUGHT IT FROM BRABUS THEN IT IS ALREADY SPACED OUT FOR YOU EVENLY. IF YOU STOLE IF OFF A CAR YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PUT IT ON ANYWAYS. All emblems IF you buy them from any manufacturer all come pre spaced for instance go to your local MB dealer and ask for a AMG emblem. IT IS SPACED OUT. You just peal and stick. So simple. There is no skill envolved.

NO i did not steal them, and I'm pretty sure if we can all afford a $30K+ car, there really is no need in stealing a $30 brabus emblem..
The only reason i ask, is becoz i bought mine off e-bay! The words are all spaced out on one side only!! The stickers seem original on the back of the words though, but it is definetly not as easy as you mentioned! Probably the guy who sold it to me, did something to it!!!

Hmm...well, first off I hope you have some brabus things. Not just the emblem you bought from E-bay. If it was me I would have bought it from Brabus North America or a tuner shop. I wouldnt want to condone people stealing emblems off other cars and selling them on E-bay. But thats just me.
GOod luck on trying to install. You better get a tape measure and a ruler. Lay it flat on a table. Measure out the distance between each letter. Than apply masking tape over it. Make sure you have good double sided sticky tape like 3M on the emblems. Then apply it to your trunk. Push hard and hold for 20 sec and remove the masking tape.

as simple as this task is, i dont think i have the patience, or dexterity to get it mounted straight, i would have to pay someone to install it

You could add this:
Technically it's accurate. Since the MB does have electronic controlled variable engine timing. As does just about everything else out there. :p

Thanks very much for all the suggestions and replies...
I guess I'll have to be very cautious in doing this!
And yea. BrabusCclass.. I only have the 18" Monoblock V's, perhaps not as much as brabus things that you have on your car! but hoping to install a body kit later on! How much did your body kit cost? And how was the process of installing the dual exhaust?
Thnx very much!

Brabus, i have a Q for you. Did you get YOUR C from Brabus of North America yourself? Or did you just buy Brabus parts yourself? If you did it yourself, then you shouldnt bash on people trying to start off their car. Now if they dont have any Brabus mods then i would understand. Its just not right to bash on people who are trying to fix up their car. Just tellin ya! No offense to anyone here. Just thought i should bring it. Im sure you guys all have nice cars. But you shouldnt do that to fellow benz owners.
