Man, I completely mis-read. I thought you said you had a red hood and that kind of scared me. Yes, red badges on a black car look stunning. But it needs to be done professionally. You should look at the side badges as well. Not completely read but read on the 6 the . the 3 and the AMG but not on the background.
Badges look sweet!

There's also a much easier way to do it which I found out later.

I did it once bud. Took me 6 hours for the two of them. 3 coats and clear coat. It was fuggin perfect. Then the red didn't suit the silver so I changed it. If you do the 6 and 3, you also need to do the dot ( . )

This is me from last weekend Global Time Attack/Shift S3ctor event...red tow hook and all...
. I've retired the CLS as a track car and just pick this one up to modify into a full time track car.

Decided to bite on the JL tow hook but this:
<<Thanks for your order. Sorry about that the shipping department found the mercedes tow hooks we have in stock are the wrong size. The tow hooks are for the VW cars. We already refund the payment back to your paypal. After we have the tow hooks back in stock, we will keep you updated.
Sorry for any inconvenience

Has any one picked up one these (that actually fits) from this company or any other source?

Can you contact them some how? If the threaded part is 22mm x 3.0mm pitch it should fit. At least that is what my Go Mini Go plate mount bolt measures.

Will try, appreciate the measurement info. I have to check before I ever order again. I'm O for 2 already. You see the JL response above, and I also ordered one through Ebay this year which did not fit and I had to file a claim for misleading fitment info to get my money back.
