Installed My New 56mm AMG Hood Badge and...
I like it far more than the factory MB star... It is made from aluminum, is 56mm in diameter and is concave like the factory badge. I know they are for wheel center caps but I think it works equally as well as a hood badge. It was very easy removing the factory badge, prepping the surface and applying the new badge.
Best part is I paid .99 cents for four of them and $4. in freight from China! I couldn't go wrong!

What do you think? These pics are the best I could do with my camera phone at night.

I've seen people walking past the car just stop and stare at the grille. It really made a vast improvement in the front end of the car especially combined with the CF front splitter.

Nice job on the emblems... looks much better than stock!! Ditto on the grill? BTW, i can see you have a gap in your front lip on the passenger side... I have the same gap but on the driver side.

I think that's just a crappy camera phone pic with a shadow. I was very careful in installing the front lip and used pop rivets to fasten it very tightly against the front clip. See the pic below. I highly recommend using aluminum pop rivets to secure the front lip. It really draws the CF lip tight against the front clip. The hardware (self tapping screws) the manufacturer supplied was horrible.

It's not a vinyl sticker, if that's what you're implying. It is a thin concave aluminum badge with a peel & stick adhesive on the back. You remove the original emblem, clean & prep the surface and apply this one in its place.

Very nice. I did something similar with a 57mm emblem.
