Proud of Your Diesel but Want to Debadge?

Me too. So I made this up. Don't mind the black paint (frame or car..), it was just temporary to see if wanted stainless on front or in back. The "n" in benz also has a piece of lint in it from wiping it down before paint.

Figured this was the appropriate place to show off my latest mod! Let me know what you think.

Maybe I should get this in black for my 190E to confuse my friends

Can we get these in a different font? More akin to the ordinal gender badging and or the fonts used on the instrument cluster?

Looks pretty fresh, is that CAD 3d? The tool icons look familiar.

Looks like the closest thing I have available is Microsoft's Sans Serif.

I don't understand the desire to debadge, then rebadge (via the license plate frame).

Either you do or you don't, unless I'm missing something here.

I don't like the OEM lettering cluttering up the trunk lines but still want enthusiasts to know its a diesel and I'm not an AMG wannabee. A license plate frame is a subtle way to move the badge concept to a location that has to have noise.
