2018 E400 Coupe
Questions on Mods

Have some questions below in regards to my 2018 Polar White E400 Coupe, if anyone could help out that would be greatly appreciated.

Just had some chrome trim done with black vinyl.
- Window trim, door handles, front lower bumper and around my Panamerica Grill, rear lower bumper.
What's missing and have questions on is the following:

1) E400 and 4Matic Badges? Should I just debadge the car of replace them with black badges.
2) The Mercedes rear logo (with camera) how do I get the chrome to black?
3) The exhaust chrome, no vinyl because of heat of course, what's the best option to convert to black?

Also, I just swapped my 19" Factory Rims with 20" Savini Rims, and I would like to have it lowered a bit like no more than an Inch but I'm not sure what to do?
Are there any examples of H&R 1.2" drops that anyone can help with?

Thank you : )

I can give you my opinions on 1 & 2. 1. I would just de-badge. 2. Since you have distronic, I assume the covered star on the front grill remains chrome. if so leave the rear star in chrome for symmetry. Good luck and nice car!

throw away the badges, pipes can be sprayed with high heat resistance flat black primer - remember to cover bumper areas next to pipes with protective tape, won't be burnt and can simply sand it off later,

Maybe the rear star also can be done with primer like the pipes. just need some accuracy covering the trunk lid's surface next to the star.
