If we could get a group buy on Mario's emblem at a reasonable cost, I would be game for one.

Ebay and many other dealer are practically the same...as I stated above...if you desire to spend more that everyones perogative...I am sure they are better made but as long as the visible side is durable big deal imo...I am interested though in seeing what nick55 talked about...

I can't believe no one is supporting you. It's crazy people are paying so much more for emblems. $200? that's insane. I plan on getting the $33 one from ebay too that comes with valve stem covers.

Support or no support I feel my way they feel theirs but it won't change me in my buying methods...when they sell their cars it will be better to try to sell certain mods seperately while I since I went the conservative but visually fine way well won't loose as much.....mods honestly will barely add appreciation to any car and most if not all will be a lose. Even rims won't help alot..our mods won't matter to a buyer who knows nothing of our cars....they will only pay what the market says its worth. Sure you can hold out til an enthusiast buys your car but if you are in a rush its like an automatic lose. Thanks Brother.

For those of you who have not seen Mario's badges in person you are really missing out. These are Mercedes quality emblems. They look like they come from Affalterbach...

Anyone know if he makes these in other sizes?

Whoa, what happened there? Looks good but wasn't it complicated? How exactly did you patch the hole and indentation?

Anyone know what the details inside the Affalterbach badge are?

If a price was listed it would have sparked more interest. I asked for the price but never got it so I figured that we weren't doing it.

Thanks man, avatar or sig? Definitely no connection between the Glasgow band Simple Minds and the C32. And, as far as the King, Peter Forsberg, is concerned, he's more in SLR territory!

No question IMHO that this is the coolest badge out there but this Mario cat hard to find. When you search you get lots of noise like this (pretty funny!) thread.
