Debadge trunk completely?
When I take my car in to get the AMG kit put on, I'm going to debadge the "E500" emblem. I'm also considering:
1) debadging the centered Mercedes "star"
or
2) replacing the mercedes star with a small (if I can find one) flat hood emblem
What do you guys think would look best?
1) only remove E500
2) remove E500 and Star
3) remove E500 and replace Star with a small flat hood badge
Here's a pic from Eric's car for reference

If you remove the star, you'll need to fill the 3 holes and have the trunk painted. It's not held on by adhesive tape like the E500. Use a credit card and wiggle out, you'll see. With that being said, keep just the star and paint it black if you want to do something different. I did a black star and black sport grille, but my car is Tectite Gray.

Keep star!
I think it's wrong taking the star off, it gives a kind of symmetric look, especially when the "E500" badge is taken off - it just looks the best, and I think you would regret taking the star off.

I'll try to find it later, unless you have a link handy
If I did remove the star, I would have the holes filled and sprayed. I'm getting an AMG kit installed and my front grill painted anyway

Having trouble finding this thread. Any ideas on what words I should search for? I've tried trunk star, debadge trunk, mercedes star, debadge.
