Debadging my E55?

Hey guys,

I have finally decided to initially start modding my E55 with a pulley, header and ECU upgrade.

Do you think it would be silly to debadge the car of all it's emblems? The only reason I am considering this is to try and make my car more of a sleeper. Then again the 4 cannons sticking out of the back is a clue of its true potential.

What do you think?

Thanks
Tony

imo, nobody knows what an e55 is anyways. it's hard enough for me to find someone to play with already. now if you like the look, by all means do it. otherwise you don't have to worry about these cars being sleepers.

I had the car debadged for about 2 weeks before I traded it in. I actually like the clean look of not having any badges. I'd say go for it.

I love mine debadged!! Here in socal, AMGs are known and there are lots of posers as well. I get challenged all the time just so they can see if it is real. Besides that, I like the clean look better than the screaming badges.

Does anyone have pictures of the side and rear views of a debadged car they care to share?

Thanks!

I've debadged the entire car, and replaced all Laurel's with AMG. I'll post as soon as I get some new shots. The only Mercedes symbols left are on the steering wheel & engine cover.
