None at the Moment (considering C300)
Car looks great. The ///AMG Badge does provide the trunk with some symmetry. The chrome badge is a good contrast against the red exterior. 
Without it, it sort of does seem like the right side of the trunk is missing something.
Just occurred to me that, this is not a problem with 4matic models though!

Well, I'll make sure to show you my AMG badge, and the rest of the rear of my car, if I ever meet you at a stop light. 
Seriously though, it's a very nice car. Not a fan of the darker strip, but the black tint on the Mars red looks sick.

Great looking car. Love the Mars red with those wheels.
Hate the fake AMG badge. For me it ruins an otherwise great car. Nobody likes a fake. The car is great, leave the AMG off.

Because you bought a Mercedes, we are giving you leeway here. Your car IS NOT an AMG. No where near it. It is a badge you don't own.
Its like someone who is in the Army wearing a Marine Corp uniform.
Right now, you don't get it. Be naive all you want. It is a disgrace to what an AMG is. You are on a car forum, with real AMG owners and those that covet them.
Because your car has an AMG part or two does not make it an AMG. I congratulate you on your purchase, but hope that you get a clue. Soon.

I've noticed that the German models don't even have a bag on the back side. I do like the side badge they put in the front between the door and the fender. I'd like to try and order the Avantgarde (which I think is our Sport model) badge.

Whatever there's gas in...
First off let me say that the C350 is GORGEOUS in Mars red, congrats.
secondly, the AMG does not belong on the trunk IMO, but to each his own...but also, debadging both sides will also even it out in a less poser-esque manor...

CLK55 AMG vs. C350 "AMG" --- LOL!
Don't bother Vinh. Everyone here doesn't understand the whole AMG badge on a non AMG car thing. You have to own a REAL AMG to understand.
Just ask yourself one thing....if the car has so much AMG on it then why didn't it come with a badge from the factory. Why did the dealer have to put it on for you? Hey, if it helps you sleep better at night then go for it. But don't be surprised when people drive by you pointing and laughing.

1st) The C350 in Magma Red and Sports Package is sweet. The fresh paint helps, too. No need to present the car as anything else than a C350 sport.
2nd) Everyone here in MBWorld knows your car doesn't have the power, transmission, suspension, brakes, interior gauges and acceleration that an AMG car has, because your C350, while nice, is not an AMG car. The engine was not handbuilt by one man in Affalterbach.
3rd) I don't live in your town, but if you lived in mine, you would get hit up by all the M3s, C55's, CLK55's, SL55's, RS4s, S4,s and hell, even the new BMW 335is, to remind you while they are smoking you on the street, that your C350 is NOT AN AMG car, and more importantly, does not PERFORM like an AMG car.
4th) It's your car, you/daddy/mommy/grandpaw/boyfriend makes the payment on it, and not any of us. So drive it and "label" it how you want. Just don't try and get any sympathy from those of us who will pass you and cut you off at will on the freeways because we are faster and more powerful.
5th) Apologies for the rant.
Nice car.

Stiggs, you are 100% right. Thanks for sticking up for those of us who have the real deal.

... When the AMGs and Ms came around, I simply didn't take the bait. 
With regards to comment 4, are you implying that AMG drivers are "@$$&*le drivers" who contribute to frustration and eventually accidents on the highway? If that is the case, I am glad that I am a "poser".

If you buy any MB in Norway with AMG styling and suspension kit it comes with an AMG badge, just like my neighbours 130i with M kit it comes with the motorsport badge, I don't see the big deal.

Same here, to be honest. The tint shop that my dealer suggested quoted me $370! That was too much, IMO so I found an all-in-one tint/alarm/stereo shop and that was how much they charged. And it looks amazing. I'm gonna take some better pics when I clean the car. Just look around and check some of those shops - you may luck out!

The AMG Badge is Ridiculously Lame. If you search the Sclass and CLK class forums, and type in poser as your keyword. I think the badge will come off rather quickly. There are pages after pages after pages of why this "simple" AMG badge does not belong on your car, even for aesthetic reasons. My GF just got a C350, while its a nice car, and I enjoy driving it, it is not an AMG, not even close. The only person that your fooling is yourself IMO.
Your tint looks good, except for the strip on the windshield. Paint your orange sidemarker red, and you should be in good shape.
Now that I think about it, I will introduce you to the "official poser thread"
here is the link. These are just random posers spotted all across the country
Enjoy!
