looks great, I don't even mind all the chrome trim; although it would look **** blacked out

I like it! The wheels are a tad too big for me and while I love blue cars I couldn't live with a matte colored anything...overall I think it's a good looking car.

Definitely a unique colour scheme. I like the look of it and the fact that you went out on a limb to have it done. Gives the board something new and different to look at. I would probably never wrap my car in that kind of blue but maybe a different colour in the future so its good to see an example of the change a good vinyl wrap can do.
Reminds me of a variation of this AMG GT colour...

IMO the color and car looks fabulous.
No badge is better, but I think the AMG badge looks better in front than on the back.
Enjoy your car - Haters gonna hate anyway.

According to Wikipedia:
Saying, essentially, "that sucks" is NOT constructive criticism. It's just criticism.
Constructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one. The purpose of constructive criticism is to improve the outcome. In collaborative work, this kind of criticism is a valuable tool in raising and maintaining performance standards.

If the OP had put a C63S logo on it I could fathom why people get so upset, but I really don't understand the hatred - What defines an AMG car these days anyway? .. a hand-built engine? What about the C450 that has AMG badges on both flanks of the vehicle?
I think the exclusivity around the use of the AMG logo is diminishing (like it or not) and if people do something different or unique then kudos to them I reckon.

OP, I truly do like everything else about the "build." Good job.
Badging decision was highly questionable though, IMO.
What else? True limited-slip differentials for the RWD variants. More robust engine cooling. Wider front and rear tires. Stiffer elastokinematics. Unique, performance-oriented seating and steering wheel options.
I would say those are a few attributes that distinguish AMG vehicles (obviously not an exhaustive list; just the "highlights"). Until a skeptic/"non-initiated" person owns one or has the pleasure of driving one on a circuit, it might be difficult to mentally quantify how much engineering goes into the AMG cars.
I love Benz's "standard" cars too but what the AMG cars are capable of is something else.

Does having factory AMG carpets, body kit or wheels advertise it any less?
