C63 AMG
I actually just got my set yesterday.
You are right 200 bucks for a set of pins are highway robbery. But I try to justify to myself they are worth it, since they have a decent weight to them being aluminum
I figured the AMG logos are worth atleast 20 bucks a pop . hehehe.

I remember buying off of ebay a similar set to the one I posted above. Bought it a week after I got my car because the plastic was annoying. I've had zero issues with them and they look and feel great.
Just saying, this is definitely a part where it is identical to OEM but at 1/4 the cost.
Personally I think $50 is still too much for what it is, but alot easier to swallow than $200.
Alot of members here I think bought off ebay, no one has had issues either AFAIK

The plaque is held down with an epoxy adhesive. I was contemplating the removal of it. But its too much trouble, I understand that it was "promotional package" but like everything else in this world the value is in its rarity more-so as to how the vehicles are spec'd. I would only assume those affalterbach editions command a premium over the normal P30 sedans. If you can even find one for purchase.
