    Sorry to hear..I know you just got the lights too. Weird how it managed to just damage "optical" parts of the car. Any harm to the paint or body? Glad your okay
    After I was in the car with my boy when he hit a deer in his civic, I sometimes beep once or twice about a 1/4 mile down the road if I see one. Sorta my warning call to any others to stay off the road lol.

    I'd do the lettering if I was tracking the car, plus the white letter on the Michelin looks nice. I don't think the car has to look more aggressive to pull it off, just needs to have more 'track' look to it.

    @8thLS6 - Surprisingly there is no damage to the body. When I hit it, I thought my front end was done for.

    Debadged. Still need to get the "ghost" lettering off. That Arizona heat really melted that tape on, and Goo Gone can only do so much.
    Also installed my color matched EGR visor. (pic was just it sitting on the window, got it fully down later)

    ^ Best thing for the residue from the badges, polishing compound. Takes it right off!

    Hair dryer and I would also try turtle wax bug and tar remover. Reheat it first then try the bug and tar remover. I took a decal off my mirror, and the bug and tar remover went to town on it and left a nice shine. Plus that stuff works wonders on the stuff its really made for...bugs, tree sap, tar etc.

    I got the letters and residue off about 90%. no worries there... just a small outline from sun fading. I'll give the polishing compound a try.

    Turtle Wax polishing compound has never let me down. I always use it after debadging, works like a charm.

    Of course :)

    Started with these.


    Cutting the "Mercedes" logo out of the rings.


    Baked these open to get the red lenses.


    Re-assembled in the original LED ring tails.


    Finished product on the car.
