I'm sure the AMG badge from eBay is on its way to his house.

It must me that MB’s zeros lack sufficient adhesive.

I've seen a lot of those about.

I've heard it adds 85-90bhp (conservative estimate)

Nice photo work while driving.

Along the same lines, I was at my local MB dealer this weekend seeing if they had a c63 on display yet (they didn't) and I saw a brand new C350 with an AMG emblem on the right side of the trunk. Too bad that dealers are slapping the badges on non AMG's...and I feel bad for the person who picks up the car not knowing that they will be the subject of ridicule for the term of their ownership.

Hmmm... wonder what that does to the value of real AMG's? Can't be positive. I think that might just make me mad. No, wait, it does make me mad and if I knew about a specific MB dealer slapping AMG badges on non-AMG cars I would definately report the dealership to AMG.

I think what they call it is the "AMG Package" which may consist of body kit, wheels and exhaust tips. They then affix the AMG badge on the rear as well.

If AMG is fine with that then okay, but still makes me mad. I would rather that be called the "Sport" package (aesthetics) v. "AMG Package" (performance).

What if you bought the badge on ebay and when you find his car
stick the "0" back on. Rebadge it for him. I mean it's cheap enough....

I might do that to that C63 i saw last month

I'll pay the other half, or would that be a third?

eBay sellers should start making some "poser" emblems so we can buy them and stick on those posers' cars.
