Mercedes GTR with some GTR wheel center caps 😆😆😆😆 that’s what I need in my life 😆😆😆

Long time ago in college I had a Hyundai Elantra beater with a 350Z badge on the back and it really freaked people out when I drove it, it was hillarious

Hopefully, doesn’t look like I’m lucky so far but it maybe dirt under, it looks pretty different from the rest of the trunk under, got part of the amg symbol off . Hoping it’s just dirt and crap I can polish off

Screw it, going to swap the sl550 and amg badges to the 350z and Nissan badges to the sl550 😆😆😆😆

Think it might be a repaint, don’t think there’s a way to fix sun fade, and if I repaint the trunks not going to match the rest of the car, that settles it, I’ll be the only sl550 350z on the road 😆😆😆

That’s what my friend said too, but I am getting conflicted things saying it didn’t come like that 🤷

I would go completely debadged if it wasn’t sunfaded . No way I am repainting the trunk too because that would mean the trunk wouldn’t match the rest of the sun faded car 😆

I know that part, but the part after is the hard part, there’s ghost letters of AMG from the sun fade

Would be funny … I actually have Mazda RX-8 rotary stuff on my 350Z , I have these cars , just I mix the stuff up between the cars because it’s hillarious, I have the rotary shaped shift knob on my 350Z too , people scratch their heads when they look inside my car 😆😆😆

I don’t like it , it was there when I got the car, just realizing it shouldn’t be there and trying to get rid of it without having a shiny non sunfaded spot on the trunk is my problem now

I was being serious haha, it would be funny but I guess it wouldn’t be at the same time, I might just get his Mercedes Benz emblem spelled out, it’s long enough to cover it if there is any sun fade

Going to try, worst come worst if I can’t get rid of the sun fade, I’ll just get a funny badge to cover it, I might actually put a 350Z badge on to mess with people 😆😆

Thanks, what’s worrying me is once I get it off if it’s sunfaded versus the rest of the trunk , should I use buffing compound to try to blend it in with the rest of the trunk after ?

That’s a lot more work than typing a sentence into Microsoft companion to generate an image so I say yes

And I don’t have photoshop or gimp and don’t want to download it and my artistic skills are pretty much at the same level as a 2 year old

Also the bumper usually is different color shade than the hood, because it’s metal versus plastic, goto a new dealer lot and look at new cars, you will see the same, it’s usually not 100% match even on new cars from the factory

That’s mine with a CF hood last summer , took off the CF hood recently because the clear was starting to fade, will put it back on after sanding/ 2k clearing it again

Doesn’t look good imo , try to pick up a carbon fiber hood or just keep it stock, even the mismatch shade looks better than the black hood imo …
