Gloss or flat black emblems for the rear?
Hi
Just looking for some opinions or if anyone has done it would they do the same again.

I have a white 507 coupe and I'm debating on gloss vs flat black emblems.

I'm leaning toward flat bc I have the flat black stripe on the side but.... Thoughts?

I did matte black, for the exact same reason. It matches the black stripe.

Where did you get them from?
Do they look legit?

I'm worried about the letters

I bought them off ebay, everything looked good except the "AMG" badge. I ended up having to get the original chrome one painted matte black.

you can’t go wrong either way. From a distance you can’t tell anyway.

I went with gloss on emblems, trunk bezel, and MB trunk Star.

I went matte black with all of my emblems. The grill, hood, and trunk. The front two were painted but the trunk emblems were genuine Mercedes. I removed the 6.3 fender emblems

I did that 2x and it keeps coming out bad. Cleaned and prepped perfectly but it ends up with with a wrinkle finish on some letters but not on others

It's weird
