Hood Emblem

Has anyone bought a different hood emblem for their car? I was thinking of buying a black carbon fibre mercedes hood emblem...



any thoughts? Any other cool ones out there? (Non-AMG, non-lorinser, non-carlsson, etc)

the etchings on that carbon fiber one looks pretty flawed. but of course, from afar, nobody would notice=)

i wouldn't mind one with black borders (instead of blue).

Not a big fan of CF but I'd love to have a black outline.

I have one of those. I painted the actual holder for the medalion 040 black.
It is smaller than the stock medalion, and as a previous poster has said the star is not the cleanest but from a distance it looks good.

I thought it would be neat if someone made custom hood emblems for like $150-200... where you submit to them your design, and they build a high quality version of it. I'd do it. You could put your initials, etc...

No interest? I just took my emblem out of my hood, and it's really cheapy plastic, so a custom one could be the same cheap material... so it shouldnt cost that much. Any ideas where you could get it done?

There was the white star hood badge that was being sold a while back, but never saw any real interest in those.

I have #351 out of 365. Its smaller than the OEM plastic badge so it sits inside the hole.


BTW, somebody posted one for sale for half of what I paid for.
