MB Star/Emblem Ripped Off Of Hood

Well, went to a large party/beerpong tournament (32 teams) in Tucson last night. My car was parked in the driveway of the house.

Upside of this event: won 3rd place and some money

Downside: Some mother f***** ripped off my MB emblem on my hood. And it is now gone. I am so pissed. People do not have the decency to respect other people's things. Unbelievable.

So now that I am driving around with an interesting looking stub where my emblem should be, I am thinking about replacing it with a flat badge. Which badge do you guys recommend? I know 123mercedes is selling a flat star one right now for like 34 shipped. I was also looking at the AMG flat badge being sold at formymercedes.com. What do you guys think of that one?

Who still steals Mercedes emblems? Never mind.

Mario and DFWdude make sharp replacements.

What a tool who ever did it!
I live in a college apt. complex and a day after I got my radar stolen some broke my driver's side mirror and left a broken a broken bottle of grey goose around my wheels (this was like 2-3 weeks after I moved in, so I didn't **** anyone off fore sure, not that I did now).

That's what you expect with a drunk college crowd lol, I am not an angel either when I go over the limit, but doing crap like that behind someone's back is just low.

Good luck with your replacement, all I can recommend is for you to do some research and pick which one you like best since this is an appearance mod.

I bought this kit on ebay a while ago, it included front and rear emblem replacement and all 4 wheel caps, for like $90 bucks or so. I saw just the front one on ebay for like $15 the other day.

Here is what mine looks like:

Also here is a thread for "Mario's" emblem, they were advertising it for $165 (just the front), because it is a metal engraving that fades off in a year . Ebay one I got doesn't.

Honestly man $150 difference isn't worth it, I already talked about it and got flamed by some girls in that thread

I'm with you Kindafast. $150 is to much. And in my own opinion, I like the star badge better. Never been a fan of trees and such on my AMG.
