Clean Back
I think it gives it a much more balanced look... If it's a 55 AMG or a 4MATIC, it's looks blanced, but I think when it's clean like this it makes the *** of the car flow with the rest of the car...

LOL, I could give a **** less about what other people think about the car... if they think it's a debadged 430 then let them think that.

How hard is it to reattach the badging when you want to sell the car?
Yeah, I see some low end models debadged. But I also see a lot of higher end models debadged as well. I've seen M5s and M3s debadged to look like regular 3 or 5 series.
If I do it on my car, it will be just for the cleaner look. Not because I think my non-AMG package S550 (the low end of the S class in the US) will fool anyone into thinking it's an S600 or S65!

Agreed, it looks much better, especially in Black.

It was really really hard to take them off... there was a lot of glue left over that took about an hour with a heat gun, wax and windex to remove.

If people ask me about it, I'll tell them its a S430. I can care less. I would still debadge if I had a S600.
