SMG is too close to AMG.
People will get confused.
It would be the same if someone debadged and put E60. People would think of MB again.
Either completely debadge or keep it oem.

But, if you want to put SMG then do so. We like to get each others opinion, but in the end it's your car and if you like that then the heck with us!

Either de-badge it or get the black emblems.
