does anybody know were i can find black emblems. i need the e55, amg and mercedes star on the trunk in black. i know if i cant find it i will have to buy a new set and paint those black

 

buy a new set and paint those black

 

Official new sets are pricey.Grrrrrr.

 

Take off the existing set and paint them?

 

my next project. i only have the star in the back though, the rest is debadged and in front is a flat emblem. a nice flat matte star would look really good on a black car.


a fellow forum member did this, he said it wasnt too hard and looks really good. based on the pics i saw i would have to agree.

 

a good friend of mine works for mercedes so i get everything his cost

 

Just did mine I took off the old ones and sand blasted them ( on low or else you will melt them) then when it was down to bare plastic i painted them with gloss blk. IMO it looks good

 

Same here, debadged. All I have is the Silver star on the trunk. How's it look in black?

 

I would never debadge an AMG...

 

totally agree with you

one more option for you
or live it stock

 

i like how u did ur grill do u think it would look good on silver. see my car is silver and im not sure that if i do a couple of things black that it will look good. its a 2000 e55 and the car comes wit chrome acc.

 

yeah i dont have an amg, but yeah i would never debadge such an awesome car.

i think if you dont have anything sweet to brag about it looks good with less badges and model numbers on a car.

i think it looks good on a black car, i just think it would look better with a flat black star instead of the silver one.

 

Which is why i'm thinking of adding the badges again. Not sure if I want them blacked out or not. Hmmmmm

I purchased my baby debadged. I liked it at first.....

 

I keep mine completely debadged. I let only the keen eyes realize I drive an AMG. I like the subtlety that I have knowing I can run with the obvious performance heavy weights.
