Supercharged CLK500 & ML500
First of all please do you think I am ignorant like the Camaro /charger dude you made up or yourself I know for sure that our Mercedes Benz product is 100 times better product build than a gm or dodge garbage product anytime brother,plus I think my CLK will do pretty good in a race with over 300hp stock ! Again you guys need to get over this ! Every one has a right to do what ever customize there own cars @ the end of the day my ride is a CLK 500 which is a lot closer to a CLK 55 spec than a CLK 350 ,I am not saying anything bad about v6 model but c'Mon man its my car !
Pretty sure you don't care, but I'm in the camp of no ///AMG Fender badge as well. It just seems that your taunting (trolling) the forum with your signature pic. If you continue to ask for help:

The least you could do is return the favor and replace that rear profile pic with a side/front profile pic, so everyone can drop this issue altogether. But hell, its your profile too so you can do whatever you want!

You are right! It is your car and you are making the payments, do what ever you like! I have a Supercharged CLK500 and I removed all my badges! This is a Mercedes Enthusiast forum, so the people who would know the difference between a CLK500 and CLK55 (and cares about the ///AMG Badge issue) would be visiting here.

Sold 2003 CLK 500,2003 SL 500,2006 Acura MDX,1998 BMW M3 convertible
MODEL: Mercedes-Benz CLK500 Coupe
ENGINE: 5.0-liter V8
HORSEPOWER/TORQUE: 302 hp @ 5,600 rpm/339 lb-ft @ 2,700-4,250 rpm
CURB WEIGHT: 3,585 lbs
0-60MPH: 5.7 seconds
MODEL: Mercedes-Benz CLK55 Coupe
ENGINE: 5.5-liter V8
HORSEPOWER/TORQUE: 362 hp @ 5,750 rpm/376 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
CURB WEIGHT: 3,571.5 lbs
0-60MPH: 5.1 seconds
The different with the CLK55 is that it has more 60 hp and 37 lb-ft and a bit lighter. However, it goes 0.6 second different in the acceleration. That's a lot different, because 0.6 seconds is probably like 3-4 cars ahead.
I wouldn't say it's very similar. Let's not forget about CLK63, which is also AMG. The different is that the CLK AMG can catch up to those "0-60MPH in 5 seconds" cars, but CLK500 can't do that.
That is we are only talking about the acceleration, but let's not forget about the race track and top speed that would make a big different between AMG and non AMG.
Anyway, like what I said - the car is your and I don't have a problem with you. I still think you're a very happy dude with this CLK500. It indeed looks very beautiful. I still wish it's a true AMG inside, but I know it's not.

A CLK 500 is a awesome car by its self it doesn't need any badge to make it impressive ..LOL its a Mercedes Benz product period not no camaro or charger like other has mentioned I purchased car with badge on it ..like I previously mentioned it goes good with my AMG wheels.LOL

Yeah, I have to agree with you about the specs for factory.

Why not change out the "CLK500" to be "SL63"? That would go nicely with the "//AMG" badge. Sorry for the sarcasm, but the reality is that the badging on your vehicle represents what it *is*. It *is not* an AMG vehicle. Yes, the wheel and exhaust tips are AMG designs and deserve the logo, but the car is not. This would be like putting a "Kompressor" badge on a C240 or a "V8" badge on a V6 Toyota. Even though many people don't understand the meaning of the AMG, it's still a lie.

You're wasting your breath on this guy Rod. Remember, we're talking about the guy who hacked on Wes for his replica AMG wheels but he's here saying "it's my car and I can do what I want" in regards to his fake badge.
We'll see how he contributes to the community in time.

You hacked on Wes for his ride and mods yet you troll here with your fake *** AMG badge and puff up your chest basically saying 'bring it'. I could care less what you do mate but don't expect to get much support from the senior members around here.
Let me put it this way - its not the badge that's creating the issue, it's you're attitude surrounding it. You want the attention, that's why you start posts saying that you're ready to be a poser, you want the negative responses. I may have been born on a Tuesday but it wasn't last Tuesday mate, you're trolling plain and simple.
You're car, do what you want, flaunt the poser persona, I could care less, just expect not to earn much respect for your attitude/actions.

Hey, I'm not trying to be a ***** here but when I get called out by someone pretending to not know what I'm taking about I put it out on the table, plain and simple.

Come on man, are you saying that you don't remember riding in on your 208 bling-mobile to your buddy rock-choppers rescue in the 208 forum when he asked opinions on his ridiculous exhaust tip? That turned out to be some epic ownage that you should have stayed clear of.
