Does the C63 come with a flat hood badge or vertical star?

I'm on jbspeed.com and it is saying tht the flat badges they have won't fit if the factory badge is already flat. Bought my car with a flat badge, never bothered asking the original owner whether he changed or not.

Do C63s come with a flat badge? So I'm assuming the jbspeed ones won't fit?

thanks in advance

Thanks man. The JB's look like they're 45mm.

Any idea where to buy different OEM flat badges (metal base)?

I am looking for this one; or something along these lines ... maybe even all black?

That's the one I have. They're all over eBay.

The badge itself is a hard metal sticker shell over a plastic holder. They all are.

Thanks. Reason I asked is because the OEM one currently on the car is $40-$50 vs. this one is under $10 bucks. Just makes me wonder on quality etc. (not that that's a lot of money, you know what I mean).

It's nowhere near OE quality. I change mine out at least once a year. It is what it is.
