no they are chrome. i could paint them but it will take a lot of time to prep since double sided tape has to be removed from the back. then the glue has to be cleaned then new tap has to be put. it is a very time intensive job since the contact area is very small.

I think the 5.5 AMG emblem looks great!
Have you thought about painting your emblems black?

I definitely think that is a step in the right direction! Those 5.5 emblems are a little too busy for my taste...

Apparently the 6.3 is inaccurate as well... MB overestimating themselves much?

I don't really know why MB did that except as a throwback to the 300SEL 6.3. Then, to top it off, the aftermarket continues the trend with this badge. It really doesn't make sense.

The "V8 Kompressor" badge is part number 230 817 05 15 and you can purchase this actual factory part number from OE Discount Parts (a Benz dealer out of Asheville, NC) for $58.50 shipped, or $117.00 shipped for a pair.
