That looks great! Can you tell me where you sourced it and if the old badge just pops off?
The local dealer could not order the part for either my GTR or C63S. Resellers on eBay were selling them for $80/each. Instead, I found it on Kunzmann (Link is specific to the C190 AMG GT) https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/tuni...KujmC9k6CPYXyA
They only ship to Europe. So I had it shipped to a reship company https://www.mailboxde.com/ The part was 26€ and shipping to the German mailbox was 5€. Shipping to the US from Mailboxde was 12€ using the slowest service (Czech Mail Express). All around it was about $45 usd.
The emblem comes off with a simple trim removal tool. Ilifted the emblem by alternating from the 12 and 6 o’clock positions at first. Then I went all around. My original part had tape in the 12 and 6 o clock positions, so I “sliced” the tape using forward and back scissoring motion using the trim removal tool. Was not as hard as it sounds or looks.
Here is what it looks like on my graphite grey magno c63s.

Thank you so much for all of this information! Really appreciate it!
Oh that's funny! No honestly it's tough for me because I owned that Turbo S too. When I see it going down the road I get some twangs of regret. But I am really enjoying this GTC! Man did I get the thumbs up last night. Holy cow! It was weird. Didn't get as many in the TTS and both cars are rare in my area.
They're very different cars, but I will say this. When I do trade in the GTC, it'll be for another Porsche. There's just something about them.
I did not like the way how of this suede wheel felt, especially when palms get sweaty and this rubber marker top always felt sticky (yuck...).
Quick plug and play replacement with a custom made, period correct, carbon/leather one and problem solved... original one back in the box - in case I change my mind in the future:
I missed that thicc feel...
Ordering one for my wife's C43 ;-)

It's a local shop here in uae that does that... all hand made to order. @aord.uae on insta. Bare steering wheel with paddles with custom carbon and leather wrap. Couple of hours of work to remove my current one and transplant all electronics into the new one before re-installing - overall I'm very satisfied with that mod. And since it's a plug and play - I can always revert to the original one... (except the tiny holes that one needs to punch at the bottom/back of the steering wheel in order to remove the airbag in this gen car, but it's only visible when you want to see it...)
