Never been a big fan of after market flat hood (AMG, white, black or whatever)

but the frist 2 are the sticker kind.

At 45mm they'll fit into your recess nicely. It's hard to tell what their quality is - most of those e-bay ones fade after a while. The prices sure are good though. Not sure about the quality of the fastener at the back since its not using the OE snap-lock mechanism.
I've had the 2.25" flat badge that covers the recessed area and I didn't like it. I got one of those MB flat badges from DFWdude and that looks really tight - fits into the recess perfectly (1.75") and locks down nicely.

Go for the last one.

The sticker kind (first 2) are total, complete, utter garbage (quality-wise). Might as well just duct tape it on your hood.

For the first two, you screw it on and tighten, it will leave a mark (since the hood is bigger than the original recessed hole).

The 3rd one fits and looks like it locks like the original.

If you want something like the first 2 (just for a look), I have it for sale, ultra cheap, say $20 + shipping? I bought a CL-grill and it came with it. I ordered a star from DFWdude instead after looking at the one I received.

i disagree. i've had the one listed (1st one) for over 2 years now. first on my 05 c230 and now on my c55. it hasnt faded or left any marks. DFWdude's product is great. dont get me wrong, i would buy his but not for that price.

that third one is gonna fit the best, it looks like its an oem star base filled in with the "amg" filling...quite expensive tho.

fill in the hole and have no emblem!

Third one...OEM looking

Thanx for the feedback.. A buddy of mine showed me his.. and it was the sticker one.. I am leaning toward the 3rd one but I found this one on the E55 forms..

Anybody know where i can get this one.. this one is all metal.. and I like the style..I know the price is higher but I heard its excellent quality and won't scratch the hood.. The other question is, do they make it for a C32..

Appreciate the help.....

Just one other opinion to consider...

I love my OEM upright hood ornament and there's no way I'm going to a flat hood emblem. I didn't come to Mercedes-Benz so that I could make it look like everything else.

Hey Tectite - that's the one I have, the amg flat hood metal emblem. Do a search for 'Mario emblem' and PM him. The guy is cool and shipping was fast. Of course, it is expensive but... what's not expensive for these cars anyway. Totally worth it, it fits perfectly, the only thing is missing is the /// next to the AMG to make it look OEM, other than that, I'm happy with the quality.

3rd one I like best since it looks like OEM.
