I did function all the blank buttons on center console: "the red triangle button" for changing screen mode - TV/DVD/CAMERA/NAVI; "the ON/OFF button" for righthand side camera. I spent a lot of time to mod 2 these buttons. Because I want to keep my car have factory's look.

Your car looks great. Just a little warning- You are about to hear alot about the AMG side badges and the Black Series badge. It's your car and you can do what you want, but most can not tolerate it when owners misrepresent their cars. You car would be even more amazing without them.
Your center console buttons look fantastic, you rear/side view cam/display is top notch, and he steering wheel makes me envious.

very nice mods, that is something unique well done. I dont mind the interior AMG badges because they are accessories, you really should just remove all the exterior badges including the C300 one. Better to make people guess what ur car is instead of add fake badges. If your car was a black series or whatever badges someone installs it would have came w them from the factory right? I know things are different overseas but here in US no badge is the way to go. Again nice job on your cameras/buttons, very custom and original.....good job

LOVE the interior redo, great job with the cameras, never seen the mirror mount before. Thinking about doing the same steering wheel swap as you, how are you liking it so far? And i agree with everyone else on the fake-AMG badges, anyone who knows what AMG means will know that your car is NOT a AMG......

Thank you for all your opinions! I live in Vietnam. In my country MB has C300 AMG version. I know in the US only has C300 or C300 4Matic with sport bodykits. Here in Vietnam they call C300 AMG. I added only Black Series badge.

Ah i figured it out, overseas you have to pay extra for the amg/sport styling while its standard on US models, that still does not excuse re-badging it all over as a 'real' amg

Nice work. And as soon as I saw the pics, I knew you'd be caught in an AMG badge argument. Dealerships even in the US sometimes will badge the mercedes as AMG. Even if you have the AMG body kit which does not come standard outside North America. This doesn't mean it's an AMG though. It needs the engine. One easy way to find out if Mercedes recognizes your car as AMG is try to access the AMG lounge with your vin number. If you can't get in then not even Mercedes recognizes it as an AMG.
But to everyone else, understand that different countries play by different rules. If all the MB dealers in Vietnam choose to recognize AMG sport kit with the badge, then OP is just doing what's customary for his country so lets not be too harsh.
