sorry to hear. this is why i prefer the flat hood emblem over the star. i think it looks 10X better too but the risk of some jack *** coming along and ripping it off is too great.

if you want to replace it PM me, i might just sell mine.

Get a flat hood emblem

M230K

pretty good price, but i think i gona get the flat emblem. now that i took the star one off, it actually looks more smoother haha

M230K

naw, they didnt touch anything else. funny thing is, i can see someones hand print on the hood near the emblem. i think they had trouble yankin it off, i hope his, or her hand got cut open nicely.

can't believe it happened right in front of security...
gotta think bright side... at least he didn't make scratch on the hood!
time for white star flat hood!

M230K

the only thing the security guy said was, "i dunoo0o " i was ready to kill someone so choked. since we're on the topic, whats so special about the white star flat hood emblem? theres a thread thats like 5 pages long for it haha whats the difference in that one compared to the other flat badge?

mickle207

mannnu81

i never understood this - why do people destroy things out of spite!?! i met plenty people with more stuff than me, but i dont feel then need to break theyr stuff. if its nice, id rather admire it

Speaking of flat hood emblems.......I actually got one, but was disappointed to see it was PLASTIC???

When I installed it, one of the plastic pointed stars got dented in by accident, so I ended up putting my hood-ornament back on.

Are there any flat hood emblems that are actually, dare I ask, MADE OF HIGH QUALITY METAL????

anthuny85

i have the affalterbach AMG one, it sits in the recess of the hood and is all metal, the white star one is all metal as well, its a bit more costly but looks very nice. its basically the original star with the star removed and filled with a white star logo and print, prolly the best fitting, b/c its pretty much a modified oem part.

M230K

where can i purchase the white star one?

Blake P

The white star emblem is completely custom made from the OEM stand up star emblem. It's special because it's rare and sits inside the recess on your hood. The other flat badge is larger in diameter and sits on top of the hood. If DFWDude made a white star flat badge for the coupes, I'd be all over it.

Blake P

Pretty sure DFWDude has his email address in his signature. Just send him an email inquiry.

Quite ironic if someone had their star ripped out, buy a 'new' one on ebay and it turns out to be the same one that was ripped off their car.
