Where to buy flat hood and trunk badges
I know that there is a Brabus "B" badge available for the back, are there any others? I have contacted dfwdude on here about the hood emblem, but wanted to see if there were other options out there. Please let me know!
PS- My Tein Basics came in!
Most likely I will have them installed and then car aligned on Friday, I am planning on having about a one finger gap all around.

i think mig has a kleeman trunk badge, and there are all sorts of other ones.
there's the oem mercedes flat hood badge,
the ebay amg hood badge [2 different styles i think],
then dfwdude's limited badges,
brabus has a hood emblem and a trunk badge like you siad,
for the oem hood badges try www.formymercedes.com or ebay it

Thanks for the quick reply. What is the difference between the mercedes OEM flat hood badge, and DFWs? Thanks!

dfw's is smaller and fits in the crevice where the hood star was. i think he basically took the hood star and took out the star, then did some work to attach a special 3d-ish white star. a lot of people has one of his stars, and each of them is numbered. phil has one for sure. you can search for the pics.

I ordered one from him (here's the Ebay link) and I think it's a quality part. This guy doesn't number them like DFW, and it doesn't look like it's quite as fancy-pants as the White Star, BUT it was about $35 cheaper. I didn't know if the
White Star would look good on my black hood (and silver/chrome CL grille), so I went with the MKM Customs one. I think they're probably about the same level of quality, it just depends on whether you want the fancier/more exclusive White Star.
Honestly, at this point I think there are probably fewer guys with the MKM Customs version than the White Star. Also, if you got some touch up paint that matched your car, you could easily fill in the etched/engraved center star with it and make it truly custom for your particular color. I'm probably going to do that next time I wash my car.
