Debadging
i havent debadged the e, but i have debadged my personal car, and i think it looks a lot cleaner, but the Merc doesnt have that much on the back, so it doesnt even look bad, my wrx had SUBARU with seperate letters on the back which took up a lot of space, and didnt look clean. i personally wouldnt do it on the E. its all up to you though, yesterday i saw a new S-class, it was debadged, and it looked real nice.
First thing I did after taking delivery. I like the clean look.
My wife teased me... she asked me - "would you debage an E55?"
I had to tell her probably not. I would debadge an E500 though - I just like the clean look.
Kind of like the G35 Coupe - I'd leave the Infiniti logo but remove the separate I N F I N I T I badges.

its pretty easy, but i would first wash the area first so its clean. lil car soap should do the trick. then get floss, or string, but make sure the string is sturdy, and it wont break. then get a hair dryer, and add heat to the car from about 3-6 inches away. do this for about 20-30 seconds. make sure the paint doesnt peal, and you dont burn it, then get your string, and use a saw motion to cut through the glue. try to get as much of the glue as possible. you the least amount of glue on your vehicle after your done. after your done with the badging, put some goo gone on the glue, and let it soak with the trunk up, so the googone goes into the glue. after letting it soak, apply heat and try to rub it off, i used my fingers, but you can use a towel, or whatever. i hope these directions are good, im actually in a rush to go somewhere, if you have questions, or if im not clear you can pm me. GL with it! you can also search online on how to debadge. GL
