By adding the MB badge and keeping all of the original badges, a subtle link is established that signifies the once joined efforts of Chrysler and MB. I never said your decals didn't belong, just that I don't care for vinyl on a luxury sports car. Again, this is just my opinion. It may look great to some, but I just don't care for vinyl stickers. If I were to do that I would use some actual badges, perhaps the "V6" portion of the "V6 Kompressor" badges. If a mod doesn't look as if it came on the car from the factory, than perhaps it shouldn't be there.

Much of my post was satire (hence, the emoticons) and a bit over the top on purpose.

Didn't mean to get you all riled up, post some pics, then we can all decide.

Apology not needed....I know about the whole mercedes thing....was just trying to make a point that people put whatever they deem acceptable in there crossfires. But when People say vinyl there are many different types of it, Not just stickers...I actually used a cast vinyl that resembles paint....You cant tell from the picture but you have to stand in the right angle to even see it ; it blends nicely w/ the white..and its not that large in size.... I didnt want something that didnt look like it was painted on. Sorry for the explosion.

Can't we keep things on a higher level, not personal, and agree to disagree when necessitated?

Remember, this forum is all about this car:
WELL SAID. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY.
Discussion is fine but bashing is unnecessary in any discussion. Let's grow up here. You know who you are. I am sure I too am guilty of this in the past but I have decided to respect others here and try not to argue with them or bash them. It adds nothing good to the forum.
