I can't make up my mind!

I know this has been talked about before, but I just can't decide if I should debadge my 400e. On one hand, I want to because it will clean up the car...but on the other hand, I don't want to because I should be proud of the 400e badge (rather than a 300e badge...no offense to the 300e drivers)

And am I correct in assuming that the badge is just glued on? Or does it have pins that go into the trunk like on older mercedes? If there are pins, then I definetly won't debadge.

The badge is glued on. Only the Star on the trunk is pinned on.

3M adhesive remover, tooth floss is the way to go.

I debaged my 400E may it rest in peace, you can let people know it has that beautiful V8 by putting on a flowmaster or some other high flow exhaust, and the best way is to blow their doors off! That was my favorite way before I rolled my car last weekend. see the horrible pics here http://www.mbnz.org/forums/forums/th...osts=16&fid=11

The ****ty part is i had just painted my calipers and installed SS brakelines.
