I like it, it's subtle, tastefully done and I am all about standing out from the crowd. That being said, how long until we start seeing these on run of the mill 350's and 550's, the poser world just got another weapon. LOL!
I say go for it, just make sure you spend a lot of time measuring and making sure everything is placed perfectly and level and the same on both sides. There is nothing I hate more than a mis-placed or ****-eyed badge positioning.

If we all remember Cyberimage/UberKar/GermaKar is one of the folk around here with a 350 putting these types of badges on.

I agree 100%.. Thats the easy way to spot an "accident" car. A mis-placed emblem.. Ive seen genuine E55's with "v8 komp." emblems near the top of the fender before. Looks absolutely ridiculous..
If I go this route.. I'll probably "mask" the entire area of the V8 kompressor emblem, prior to removal. Then just center the new 5.5 emblem "inside" that area. Also, Im going to take measurments and tons of pictures. So that if I want to go back original again. I can just buy new V8 komp. emblems, and put them back in the same exact spot. Im seriously **** like that, so I can appreciate your comment.
I saw a CLK 430 the other day, with an ebay AMG emblem on.. You could tell the emblem was off, from literally 15 feet away.. Hideous..
This emblem is all about being "tasteful"... Like I said, Im not trying to be something my car is not. Just looking for a little update.. With all "55" models made. The "V8 komp." badge is starting to look a little tired.. In my office complex alone, there is an SLK55, S55, and another E55... Then, I go home where my neighbor 3 doors down has an S55 as well.. So, just looking to made my car a tad unique.. NOT into the de-badged look, so this is my choice.. We'll see.. I havent bought them yet..

i think these are a subtle but very appealing upgrade and according to the guys on the c forums...the quality is great
a GREAT upgrade to update the looks of the e55 imo

I must say, from mkonei's pictures, they aren't very legible.

+1 Like the 63 engines, yes they are a lttle over 6.2 but since its says 63 the side markers should say 63
And like the 63 the 55 is really a 5.4 but why would anyone be silly enough to have 55 on the back and 54 on the sides...now that would be lame...
thats like telling everyone..ok since you really have a 6.2 change your back and sides to AMG 62...or changing the 55 in back to an AMG 54....you get the point!
IMO I personally like seeing the 55 amg tag on the sides too. Keeps the flow

The car is an E55 AMG, not an E5.5 AMG

Its exactly the same logic as the 6.3 just an updated look. Also its not like people walk round calling it an E6.3 AMG, usually just refered to as the E63 AMG. There is absolutely no difference in the logic behind it apart from the time in which the car was released for an updated look.

I think it's a great badge. It looks just like the 6.3 badge and is within the same concept of design. It looks so factory that it could be factory and you guys wouldn't be complaining.
