FYI, I will have minimal access to e-mail, July 23-July 29. Orders and inquiries received through this weekend will be shipped/replied to prior to Monday morning. Afterwards, I will reply to your e-mail or process your order when I return July 30.

People continue to ask whether I have my badges "in stock." I manufacture 10 at a time, and make a trip to the dealer for parts when I have just a couple badges left.
So I am generally never caught without badges for sale. This allows me to process and ship orders within 24 hours (sometimes sooner) as I promise.
Just answering the question...

I continue to get questions about whether I can create multiple color replacements for the blue Laurel Wreath in my badges. It's been a while since I explained this -- or it wasn't clear -- so here goes...
To accomodate the special White Star or AMG insert in my badges, I remove the upright star and mill away the mount for it -- the area inside the Blue Laurel Wreath surroud. That's all. The blue Laurel Wreath surround that comes from the factory is not touched.
Hence, I cannot change the color of the Laurel Wreath, since there is no need to do so. Nor am I equipped (with parts or silk screen skills) to replace the surround with another ring of a different color.
Hopefully this picture will explain it fully...

People continue to ask how "difficult" these badges are to install. It's quite easy... In fact you will spend more time opening the driver's side door, bending down to trip the hood release below the dash, and opening the hood than you will in swapping the factory upright for either of my badges.
It's OK, though, here is review of the procedure in picture form...

Should you want to order one of my badges for the holidays (as a gift for yourself or someone else), I suggest that you contact me so that your order can be placed no later than Monday, Dec. 17. This will ensure that your package is mailled on the 18th for delivery by Dec. 22.
I mail all my badges using USPS Priority Mail, in a Small Flat Rate Box, with delivery in 2-3 business days.
Each year, someone always wants to place an order at the last minute and demand overnight delivery. I can't accomodate these, as I may be travelling and out of touch after Dec. 22.
So, if you want a badge before Christmas, please place your order sometime this coming week, please. Thanks.

Happy New Year everyone. We survived the end of the Mayan Calendar, and the Fiscal Cliff (for the time being). So it's back to business now...

Thanks for posting your pics, Cillys! As the plastic flat badges start to wear out on other W204 Sports, more and more owners will wish for one of mine as a replacement... if they are still available by then...

Good point, Cillys!
AMG Flat Badge #97 is the next to be sold. If you want an AMG Badge numbered below 100, you should order one now!

A/O this date, there are fewer than 575 White Star Flat Badges on the planet. Recently I shipped one to Sri Lanka.
