Couple of pics from my album here:





Sorry that they're a little out of focus; not sure why.

Was part of a $2,300 bodyshop bill for rust, etc., so no idea what they charged me to do the cutout. They did say (and show me a pic) that the paint underneath my original badge was bubbling, so in a way, this saved me some future aggrevation.

Looks much nicer than stock did.

Looks great, tommy. As long as it sits down within the divot, that's all that matters.

But you need to use a real camera, not that cell-phone imitation.

Figured out my SIM card was loose, so re-took the badge pics.

Thanks for the redone pictures of the WHITE STAR on your modified Coupe hood.

Surely you jest about it falling off... There is more hardware underneath the hood holding it in place than what is visible above.

There are 59 AMG Badges in circulation, at the moment. The next to be sold is serial #60, and I have more than enough parts to make another 200 AMG Badges.

The first 500 WHITE STAR Flat Badges have been sold. But not to worry, as I will continue to make these until I run out of parts... another 90-100 or so.

Folks, I rely on word of mouth and people who share pictures in this thread to provide my work to MB enthusiasts, worldwide. So...

Please post your pictures of my badges on your cars.

A Bonus offer for a limited time...

From now through the Christmas holidays, you can buy a WHITE STAR Flat Badge or an AMG Flat Badge, and I will throw in the chromed upright tristar that is removed from the OEM Mercedes badge in order to make your Flat badge.

Use this star to celebrate the holidays, or several other ways. Some ideas are shown below...

Years after starting this project, I still get questions whether my badges are a direct swap for the 44mm diameter Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) Standing Star hood ornament.

To clarify again, my badges are made DIRECTLY from the OEM part, so indeed, they are 44mm badges. How could they be anything else?

The following picture shows how the OEM part is adapted to accommodate either the AMG or WHITE STAR flat badge insignia.

Aluminum doesn't rust. Neither does multi-plated copper. Clean and Wax the badge just as you do any other part of your car.

Send me an email with a picture, please. 600+ badges and this is a new one to me.
