Hood Emblem Interest

I've recently considered taking it upon myself to get precise hood emblems for our cars.
Would anyone be interested in purchasing some?
Would anyone be interested in helping this process?

When you say Precise, can you elaborate a little more?

I think he means one that properly fits. While most of the ones on ebay fit 90% okay and in two years i've never had a problem with mine, there's always room for improvement.

Guess it comes down to:
1) Cost
2) Materials
3) Looks

Doesn't the car already come with a hood emblem?

Are you sourcing a hood ornament emblem?

It does come with one. But custom ones. For example, something with the AMG affalterbach logo is popular but the mounting options are limited and cheap, and the sizing is usually off.

Oh I know that. Lol. I was eluding to the 'biter' tactics Hyundai uses for they're car designs. The first time I saw the Hyundai Genesis sedan, I thought it was an Aston as well because of the badge. Lol.

I've actually seen better ones, but they all have the "older" AMG logo, not the new one.

How can it be out of proportion if it fills the indent like that?
Out of proportion doesn't fill it or its too large to go into it.

I have one of those and it sits just a little high, but really only I notice it.

Thanks for that, they look great. But they are both too small.
Our cars re 2.25" (57mm).

I should have explained myself better, i meant the star in the middle, looks a little odd. Something just doesnt feel right for me.

Thats what i meant.
