Where did you get the seat AMG logo? Do you recommend it based on how it sticks?

From my dealer. They had to be modified, though - they're meant to go inside perforations in the seat. I modified them and used an adhesive to stick them where you see them in the picture. They're holding up well so far.

Too many stickies

I love the color combo though. I was looking at trading the c450 for a 2019 coupe with this same combo. I have the cranberry seats with black ash trim on the c450 and it's a very nice interior contrast. I also think the graphite grey really pops when it's in the sunlight. Have you considered debadging the lettering and just leaving the star on the trunk lid? It will give a cleaner look than the black badges.

Yup, considered it, but I've debadged my last two vehicles and wanted something different this time.

Hello from a fellow CO C43 owner (FoCo)!

Interested to see what you put down with the JB4.. I did EuroCharged on my '17 C43 and it was a blast, but didn't come close to my Evo X.

I see AMR and the others have improved significantly since then, so after my 1k break-in on my '20, I may go for a tune again, but not sure which. JB4 is appealing because of the piggyback aspect vs. ECU removal/buying a handheld.

At this time, neither Eurocharge (MyGenius) nor AMR (Comport) will work for the 2020 model due to the new protocol. Mail in ECU will be the only option if you go with flash tune. JB4+BCM+Bluetooth kit+Draggy arriving tomorrow

Thanks -- Yeah, I had read about that unfortunately. Thankfully between WFH and having a second car, it's not much of an issue to ship the ECU. When I did the '17, it required shipping as well (in 2017).. twice actually since I got the updated Eurocharged tune in 2018!

Who knows when I'll get the 1k miles for break-in though, by then maybe they'll have a remote option

Hi OP,

Have you tried to log map 0 and map 1 or 2? Do you mind sharing your log? I have a 2020 running firmware 53/2//5, 92 octane.
