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.

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????

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.

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.

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