i don't like the complete debadge of everything because to me, that just looks like I bought the cheapest, bottom of the line car with no options and tried to pimp it out and take off the badge to fool lame people that dont know into thinking that I actually have a higher end car like an e or s class or something (for example if my parents saw a debadged c they couldnt tell the difference between that and an s class, all they know are the letters)
If somebody had the stats, I bet the number one debadged mercedes of all time is the c230 (least expensive mercedes), which means most people would think you had a cheapo car and are trying to pretend its something its not... i know i sound like an hypocrite idiot since i am also modifying the badges, but i am talking about a complete debadge here that I think is worse in many cases (my opinion im sure many disagree)

Benzes sold in most parts of Asia have the AMG badge put on as stock from the factory if the car comes with the AMG sports package. Whether its a real AMG or not. So I don't see how putting the AMG is a bad thing as long as you don't over do it. Having a car with a AMG badge because it has the AMG body kit and sports package is ok, but claiming your car is a AMG C63 when it's not is another. I feel you're ok, you do have the AMG body kit afterall. Just don't put C63. Just leave the C350 on it. That's how it's done over here.
this is like the 5th time i have heard this in this thread, so i believe you and not the naysayers who say that they don't do this in other countries... as long as there is no c63 emblem, then there is no big deal Exactly, some got the point, but I think most here are missed that.
He wanted attention, he wanted to get flamed and called a poser. Mission has been accomplished. 3 pages? LOL.
It's his ride, it's his rep, he can do what he wants. It's not a AMG, never will be. He acknowledged that, that is a wrap.
Is it ok for the badges? Not in the "ethical" sense I guess. My CLS500 had a 55/AMG badge on it from the dealer, I had it removed. It was my choice to do so. My car has the kit, rims, pedals, etc, but not the engine.
Bottom line, some people will what they want and not care about what others may think.

I would never do something trashy and stupid like that that doesnt look clean or OEM
When I got my trunk lid resprayed after someone hit me the body shop told me they used some form of liquid adhesive to reapply the c350 emblem after it was stripped off... maybe they reused the old one and just removed the 3M tape?

If you noticed the only people who said it "looked good" were people who own brand new stock W204 Mercedes and are not "into" cars.
Why do you "mod" your car if you arent an enthusiast?
Badges dont get you laid, tire smoke does.

For the record, badges don't get you laid. Neither does tire smoke. Character and class do. If you're on point with the ladies, your car wont matter. But if you'd be the "ladies man" you hilariously attempted to portray yourself as, you'd know that.

I own a SL600, and have had my fair share of cars for my age. I own a detail business. I said it looked good.

If you paid cash why the **** didnt you buy a 3 year old AMG for cheaper instead of an 8 dollar badge???????
Or why dont you just own and build 2 of the 4 or 5 boosted Cosworth 190s in the country
if you are an "enthusiast" then you should be well aware what they are.

Sorry I gotta agree with him. You're reasoning also is a little off IMHO as well. You claim that if it weren't for your AMG rear diffuser and exhaust you wouldn't have done it? How does having a quad exhaust setup make it anymore of an AMG car?
You may get a few Oooooohs and Ahhhhhs from non-car guys that don't have a clue...but any real car enthusiast will know immediately and will laugh at you. Especially since you left the C350 badge on. Reminds me of the Civics that slap on the "R" sticker a the end of their trunk badge or the BMW guys that throw the "M" badge right next to the "328" badge. Just looks stupid.
There's a whooooole lot more that goes into an AMG than just random parts slapped on a car. But your car, your money
Just my $.02

kudos for not putting the C63 badge on.
I have seen a C300 Luxury with it's badges replaced with AMG and a C63 on crooked.
The finishing touch were cheap chrome wire spoked wheels and sticking out of the wheel wells -- ugh!

There's no such thing as being a "little bit" poser. 
Anyway... I dunno how this thread hasn't been locked yet, as it obviously doesn't contribute anything productive to the forum. It's a **** match with both sides priding themselves on how dark their pee is.
You made your point... you're a poser. Let's be done with it and enjoy the ride.

Non-AMG cars never come from the factory with an AMG badge. On the AMG Private Lounge, AMG representatives gave the same response. If a Mercedes does not come built from the factory with AMG motor, suspension, brakes, etc;... there is no AMG badge. Just because Asian countries sell cars with fake badges doesn't mean it's right (in my opinion).
To the original poster, your car already looks good with the diffuser and quad exhaust. Just ditch the AMG badge. It makes no sense to leave it on just to fool or impress a few non-car enthusiasts.

For the "AMG" parts that you have on they already sticker their "AMG" logo on the part itself. If you look at the AMG wheels that the C300 and C350 sport have on them it actually says "AMG". I'm sure the quad exhaust you purchased said "AMG". It's like saying a 328 with an M3 body style can put a M badge on it...yet when people see them they're constituted as "posers". Would people who changed their body style from an Accord to a BMW does it mean that they're not a poser if they changed their emblem too? They're doing exactly what you're doing.
I'm not here to make you feel like crap and if I did I'm sorry. It is your car, you should be able to do whatever you want, but you will recieve negative comments just like we all do for whatever mods we do to our car.
