maybe a project for a rainy day... Carlos
I do collect stats on purchases, but while I ask folks what car they drive, not everyone volunteers the information. Also, I ask for MBWorld screen names, too. But not everyone is a member. Some guests to the site request WHITE STAR Flat Badges, and I also have placed some with members at other MB enthusiast sites. Not sure I can say which sites.

I've probably got the only ones in the UK #017 and #099

Love the exclusivity...

I've got a Star from DFWDude, and it looks great, I was at a car meet and got some nice compliments on it compared the regular caps.

Here are the stats of WHITE STAR Flat Badges located outside the US...

Australia = 4
Canada = 4
UK = 3
Singapore = 2
New Zealand = 1
South Korea = 1
Germany = 1

I'm not able to ship outside the US anymore, so this will not change in the forseeable future.

that post was from April 2006, when NO one had even seen the White Star flat hood badge before. It was easy to assume it was probably an eBay item, since DFWdude had not begun his awesome product assembly line !

Sorry, just now seeing this. Yes, I began finding homes for WHITE STAR Flat Badges in late July, 2006. I have several more orphans looking for excellent homes, too! Just write me for info at the addy in my signature.

Some of you guys with recently acquired WHITE STARS need to post some pictures. I can't continue to bump this thread forever.

Appreciate the compliments, but the credit goes to DFWDude for making such a quality product. I only wish I had another Benz that way I can order a second emblem

The badge looks nice as usual. Creative photography only accentuates it.

I have No. 003, the first production one... here it is after over a year in the Cali sun/heat and probably 15k miles (excuse the dirty car):

I'm glad N003 has held up well after so long a time. Obviously you keep it well maintained.

Of the 196 sold to date, however, I have received two comments from those who feel the white star insert has started to discolor. I would like to think such comments are related to environmental conditions beyond my control -- or a need to clean the star, as your pictures indicate a well maintained star will retain its brilliance for years. However, when 1% complain that's still too much for me.

So, effective with all new WHITE STAR Flat Badges produced (N191 and forward) I have applied a triple layer of Clear Coat to the WHITE STAR Insert to guard against any weathering effects.

Not a guaranteed modification, of course, but I always want to improve this product wherever possible.
