The "blacked out look" is old and over done.. but I think it still looks good if done properly. It's all or nothing, soo once you start with the black grille you have to go 100% remove chrome/black it out. My opinion

so if i do go for the matte black grill, the only chrome left will be the mercedes logo that sticks out of the front hood of the car and the back where it says e350 4matic, is there anyway i can remove the front mercedes logo and put the other logo that doesn't stick out?

You're right. I think gloss black trim/wheels on a flat black car looks cool too.

Buy some plasti-dip and do it yourself. It's fun and easy. Peels right off.

You have to do the window trim, and lower door for it too look right.
