I just wanted to share what I have done to the car so far. I have some more ideas but nothing too crazy. I don't want to go overboard but I am not a fan of chrome. I still have some chrome left and I do have plans with it...hopefully in the near future.
Wrapped (Black):
Rear - Chrome strip, Spoiler.
Side - Chrome Pieces of door handles
Painted Emblems (Red):
Rear - AMG, MB Star, C63s.
Side - V8 Biturbo.
Front - AMG

YOU PAINTED the badges yourself? very nice! do you mind if i asked if its a straight red paint or you mix it?
I don't have any painting equipment or anything. It is spray paint but automotive (http://www.automotivetouchup.com/) and it is way better than Duplicolor. I used the SprayMax 2K clearcoat. It urethane and better for scratches. The only downside to this clearcoat is that you have 24-48 hours to use it after you mix/activate it and you need to buy a respirator mask because of toxic fumes.
Color code is Rosso Tiziano 199A

I think I spent like $80 in supplies. The only other thing I had to buy were clips for the trunk trim and the grommets for the MB star. I destroyed some of them getting the star out...

wow not bad 80 bucks! Thank you! to be more careful.
You might find Plastidip much easier to do. You don't need to remove the emblems. Plastidip is cheap. If you don't like it or change your mind later, you can just peel it off. Not sure they would have the red you want, but great for black.
