looks great

Sweet! keep your eye on those valve stem caps. I had two separate complete sets stolen and then gave up and put the cheap plastic ones back on. Car looks great!

MERC_BENZ 11-14-2014 04:15 PM

Thanks guys. Yes the thought of the caps being solen did cross my mind but I'm just hoping that it doesn't happen.

you need to put a lighted emblem in front. My emblem goes on when I open the door of the car and while the car is running. Hooked up to fuse 23. No transformer needed.

that star is a nice touch dbldpr looks good but im not sure it will work with my grill.

dbldpr 11-14-2014 06:48 PM

Does the star turn when you twist it to the left or is it a fixed star that does not move. Mine was one that you twist and then you can remove it. One of the most simplest of thing to do on the car. I am surprised they are not stolen. They come off that easily. But if yours is fixed you cannot replace it with a lighted one.

Awesome car . Nice mods and pictures Merc Benz. I'm not a fan of illuminated star but to each his own. Enjoy.

MERC_BENZ 11-15-2014 08:30 AM

Illuminated star looks cool, like you said to each his own but i still love the fact that I can switch back to my original grill and standing star on the hood i still love that look and will switch it up when I get the itch.

That's nice when you have the option. Great job with the mod though.

Quadcammer 11-15-2014 09:31 AM

He's proud of the brand. What's wrong with that? I agree that someone putting an AMG emblem on the trunk is going a bit too far (IMO) but even my X3 has an M-sport package with a few M-emblems. Some manufacturers do that. My E350 will come with AMG wheels. It's only pedals and door pins. Come on, cut some slack.

I just don't understand the appeal of placing parts with AMG logos on a non AMG car. Seems cleaner without.

MERC_BENZ 11-15-2014 12:10 PM

The wheels, valve stem caps, door pins and pedals yeah.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it in no way shape or form am I trying to make my car a E 63 the pedals have AMG logos on them, I will be the only one to see them I shared them on this forum for other enthusiasts to look at. it is my car I will do with it as I please. To all the people that purchased non amg cars but have AMG packages with AMG wheels maybe they should take a grinder to the AMG logo on the rim It may look cleaner.
