Whats sad is that he will fool alot of people with badges alone. I had like 8/10 people think my car is a C63 without even having the badges just because they see the quad exhaust tips. I hate having to correct people =(

You didn't know? Putting an AMG badge makes it an AMG! HAHA! I would be on the floor if it said Black Series.

I know some countries the AMG is actually an additional package unlike what we have her in the states. The other badges just make me cringe.

Honestly, I think the people that know what AMG is will know that his car is a joke and the ones that don't know about AMG won't notice it anyhow.
"Up-badging" is kind of a lose/lose situation.

Very true, some countries the AMG body kit is an optional package

This and that.
So other than the quad exhaust, rims and badges (as far as cosmetic mods are concerned), the C350 and C63 are exact same looking?

I thought the front bumper was different too....and who knows what else.

The amg badge doesn't bug me to each their own. It's the first pic posted. That's just wrong and uncool. Sad thing 80% of people wouldn't know the difference for a c300 and c 63. Poserssss!!! Suck!!

I don't understand, I mean it's so much different from C63 that anyone who knows even a little about them would know.

And the people who don't know about them, might think it's a C63, but the chances are they probably wouldn't know what the difference between a C350 and C63 is anyway. For all they know they could be anything. I just don't get the point behind doing something like this, other than perhaps trying to fool yourself.

I ordered a set of replacement emblems for my trunk and received CLS300. I know some body shops could care less and just put the whole set of emblems on since it is easier than removing the unneeded letters and figuring out the spacing. I threw the L and S away.

Just a thought.
