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?

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.
