Judgement would be to be scornful of a kid whose parents bought him a new Mercedes. (I'm not saying that's the case at all, just my gut).
I'm making the observation, that's all. If it's accurate, there's no negative connotation, at least not from me. I bought both my sons brand new, very nice cars for graduating high school and I've promised my daughter a CPO SLK if she graduates with a full Bright Futures scholarship. But if she sticks an AMG badge on it, she will unfortunately, have to be disowned.

Thanks for sharing that you are "bank of dad" for buying cars for your kids! Again I don't see the relevance for this thread. However, I hope to be able to do that for my kids when they're old enough.

Whatever his age, if you look at his prior cars, he's got a great eye. I was totally digging his C300...the color choices, wheel choice, drop, Diamond grille, quad tips...those are all things I'd do (and have done) myself.
My only quibble is the combo of shaving the C300 badge, which was the only remaining visual cue the car was not a C450, and adding the AMG model trunk badge, which further implies the car is a C450.
For example, leaving the C300 badge and replacing the 4Matic badge with AMG, while a stretch, is not deceptive. I think it's a little goofy but you're not misrepresenting the model.
Shaving the car, with no model designation and no extra AMG badge, also does not misrepresent the model IMO.

Obviously a C450 is way more fun, and they're not exorbitantly more expensive than a 300, especially now as a close out. Just trying to understand the thinking.
My two boys did not get Mercedes, because their grades frankly weren't great. One got a new CC R Line, and the other a new Scion FRS. I put a set of staggered 18's, rims, and a nice Pioneer audio system in it. The CC stayed stock because that little MF'er is lucky he's not driving the beater 2005 Camry we keep around as a spare.
Now once those two cars are paid off, and my C300 lease is up, the Bank Of Dad is looking at a black C63 with the split 5 spoke wheels.

1968 Barracuda with a slant 6 here, for $350.
We're a bit better off than my folks were. So far the kids are not total entitled retards. My 21 year old is a TV sports director for SEC Network and ESPN. He freelances for NFL Films at the Jaguar home games and teaches Intro To Production at UF. Which ain't bad considering he's still in his Senior year. The other one...eh...

2016 AMG C63s
Anyone find it highly stupid that the poser badge that the OP installed is in the wrong place? Should be on the Left.
I have a C63s that I should maybe re-badge as a Chiron since I'm a broke dick and can't afford a $3M+ car. I know I know...but what if I owned a VW Bug and rebadged Chiron. Same company...
The car is clean. I think it's super "kiddish" to upbadge it in the wrong PLACE more so then anything. It is definitely a head shaker. You want to be stylish...got that. You obviously wanted a 450 and didn't have the cash so why not tweak it...got that also. But why didn't you at least look at existing C63s photos of decklids and put the ebay badge on the correct side? (i attached a few of mine for reference)
I'm not a hater because I could give 2 ****s, its his car. However those of us (meaning me) that did buck up and roll 6 figures think its funny as HE11 that you would do this to the point of doing it wrong. If you are going to admire something to the point of emulating it...which is the best form of flattery I might ad; at lease emulate it correctly.
/sidenote
Anyone got any felling on me Rebadging who handbuilt my motor? I was going to rebadge my Sasha Jonas motor to being built by F1Mike aka: Michael Kubler? (see attached photos). I think a magic marker could change it if i have a steady hand.
BTW Just for fun I posted my Track car with all its ///AMG logos on it for fun. I rebadged the BMW as a HOF. And I really had fun with all the AMG references on it.
Let the posts fly.....

Nice car...Congrats!
As far as the badge thing goes, people should really understand that this is exactly the promotion that Mercedes-Benz and AMG want...it is advertising and brand awareness! This is not like buying a GTI and putting a Porsche crest on it, the car has AMG components all over it. I wish all you purists were around years ago when we had every poser in town coming into Brabus to buy a $110 trunk logo, but they couldn't spring for anything else, but they would want the Brabus badge because people didn't know any better. Back in the days we always would supply the trunk badge willingly to those who purchased wheels or a body package and exhaust, not everyone would buy a $40k-$80k engine upgrade, but for those that did there was always the engine designation 5.8, 6.1, 7.3 etc...
I laugh really hard at the emails from time to time that I get from used car dealers that say I got a Brabus car here or a Carlsson car, can you tell me what was done to this? I would get pictures and 9 times out of 10 they would have some knock off chinese wheels and the trunk logo only, and these used car guys are supposed to be specialists...ha yeah right! Some probably don't know the difference between an AMC and a AMG! LOL!
After I removed the Carlsson stuff I also removed the Carlsson trunk emblem, left it clean and I personally hate car emblems, so putting on the AMG is not really for me, chances are if I bought a AMG 63 I would most likely remove the badges, but that is just me.
Enjoy your car, and hopefully all the purists will continue to praise the brand! Cheers!

Well to your point..."Not exactly." The M sport package includes both styling AND performance related upgrades. (Styling, Brakes, Suspension) and obviously the 335 (which is now the 340) boast the bigger engine. Again... By no means an M3, like the C450 is no C63....Mechanically the BMW's are much closer than you give credit for and by no means any further a part than the C Models, which would be a direct competitor.
Apparently you and some others on this forum created a gauge that measures how "AMG" an MB truly is, as well as the thresholds to stipulate if your allowed to brand it "AMG." Give me a break....
Again, to the OP, Beautiful Car! Keep doing what makes you happy and what looks great to your eye!

I had two 220s (420, 500) and a 221 (550), all with "AMG Sport Appearance Packages". Once in awhile someone unfamiliar with the brand would ask if the cars were "an AMG". They weren't. I always said they weren't.
AMG cars historically have had their plebeian base level performance parts replaced with monstrous, substantially upgraded, absurdly over engineered ones. I'm sure you've seen the brakes on an S63. They look like they could stop a 747. Ditto the blown hand built V8 or biturbo V12, the ABC suspension, the terrific exhausts. AMG body parts and wheels were window dressing...the least functional but prettiest elements of the car. The outward sign of what lay beneath, never considered performance elements in and of themselves.
After wholly acquiring AMG, Mercedes started down a slippery slope. IMO, my little T4 C300 Sport should have zero AMG branding. Floor mats with a Mercedes logo or star would be fine. Love the body kit and the little 5 spoke wheels. They look great. They're not AMG either.
The C450 earns the badge. It actually has AMG mechanicals. Ten years ago, no way that car exists in the AMG line up, but things change, I get it. The car's price point brings a lot more enthusiasts into the brand, at a much younger age. Maybe MB thinks those same guys when they're older and bigger earners will be AMG loyalists and start ponying up for the monster AMG cars.
But a stock C300 with different wheels and a body kit? Nah.

Hey Jim. I'm confused by the assertion that a C300 has AMG parts all over it. You're referring to the cosmetic parts...front fascia, side skirt, rear fascia, wheels?

Let me spell it out to you slowly, so you can understand.
Your Point:
AMG badge is deceitful.
My Point:
Mercedes already brands the AMG logo in the interior of his c300 sport. No difference in putting a badge on the outside of his car. EDITTTTTT - and to Latec300's point, the outside too!
Putting the c63 emblem WOULD be deceitful (as he does not own a c63). (If putting an emblem on a car could even be categorized as "deceitful.")

Hey guys/gals, I'm putting my AMG Floor mats on Ebay that came out of my c300 sport. I think the dealership accidentally put them in there, as I apparently don't have an AMG vehicle. 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Ben...-/371645114360
First $10 and or AMG emblem takes them!

Also, when making your point about how child-like you think someone else is, try using fewer little animated cartoons as punctuation. Unless you're going for irony.
Cute horsey though.
Mike, to each his own...but Mercedes and AMG are making the push for the Brand as a whole. Like Brabus we would sell a trunk badge to a customer who put on wheels or a body kit etc. but when it came to the Engine designation logos we would police that for the purists only, so for example we would not offer to paint just the engine covers in the famed Red like all Brabus engines, we would never sell a (point/period) emblem unless a Vin number for a engine built car was provided, and it is the same thing with the AMG cars...if you have a car with cosmetic AMG Components then having a AMG badge is up to you, but certainly if you remove your C300 and put a 63s emblem on, then you need therapy!
Either way it is a branding concept that exposes the product to help sell more cars, which at the end of the day that is what they want to do.

Who are you to decide how he badges his car? Mercedes already put a C and a 3 on it. And last time I checked, 63 is less than 300, so he'd actually be down spec'ing.

The floor mat argument is terrible. So, if he had WeatherTech floormats, should he badge the outside of the car has a Mercedes WeatherTech? Give me a break. This is a total poser move plain and simple. I'm in my early 20's and should be part of that fanboy group but even I think putting an AMG badge on the outside of your 300 is extremely childish. Why pose? It's like when someone has an X5 with the m-sport pack and puts and M next to the X5 on the trunk. Painful to look at especially since BMW uses a different blocky font for their M cars than on regular series cars. Like you think people don't notice? If you were really proud of the car you have you would keep the C300 on there. Mercedes may be diluting the AMG brand, but let them do it if they want, and not a car with a fake badge on the back.

It's ALL over the car already... it's humorous that by adding the logo to the boot, makes it taboo. haha
