it's OK quality. Don't know how much it will fade over time.
I've only seen this knock-off badge on real AMG's though. Unless you have a lot of AMG accessories (brakes, wheels, suspension, interior, spoiler, etc...) I wouldn't do it.

Um, not the White Star Flat Badge. This is a standard upright star, with the stand-up star removed and the hole filled with the AMG plug. Notice the plug with AMG on it is no bigger around than the word AMG, and that the silvers don't match. The AMG disk has a flatter finish than the chrome surround inside the Laurel Wreath.

Nice badge, but no White Star Flat Badge...
