Mercedes C200 (W205) Avantgarde petrol RWD
White debadge
Looks very clean de-badged. I've been debating if I want to do that with mine. Just not sure it would look as nice on white. I did pick up a CF rear spoiler to put on mine so I'm hoping that sets the rear off and makes a bit more sporty looking. That might look good with the de-badge, hmm...
yet, I just wanted an idea of what it would look like. I like the clean look.

Chicagofan00 if you would like me to I can shop a pic of the rear of your car so you can see what your would look like. You just need to post a pic.

It's done by the dealer. It can be done any time, not just at the time of initial delivery. All that is necessary is a heat gun. Some people have talked about doing it at home. I don't know if your wife's hair dryer is hot enough. I have seen warnings NOT to try sawing a badge off by working a thread back and forth under it.

A hairdryer will work as long as the ambient temp isnt too low, just use a credit card, insert it on the left side, then lift on the opposite side with your fingers.
The credit card will prevent the sharp edges from the badge to damage the paint job.
You can also order the car debadged from factory.

Once I get the rear spoiler installed I'll take some pics and PS it to see how it would look with the spoiler and de-badged.

I've used dental floss with good results as well (after warming with a hair dryer) just mind the letters digging into the paint as Vic mentioned.

Same here, keep having regret after I got the car. Wanted to vinyl wrap it white. But today, I went out to lunch, and baby really shines under the sun. My regret is fading away :-) black or white, each has its own beauty. So, enjoy.

Tinted windows over a certain percentage become hard to see out of. Not being able to see out of your car might be a teeny weeny bit unsafe don't you think? Hence the law. Imagine windows so dark it becomes hard to see out of in the daytime... imaging what that same window shows you at night, nada.
This is why you see factory cars with 'privacy' tints only tint the non driver using windows (from the driver back).

Here's a link with tint law in all 50 States. It gives you an idea of the general law. I can't vouch for this web sites accuracy or currency though. It's better to check the statutes in your state directly.
