The dealer has the badge, however they do not have the adapter necessary to make it work. Waiting is tough, but if you order it today, I can have it to you tomorrow.

Get the Brabus ones, it's smaller and look nicer, but it wouldn't match if you didn't have any Brabus stuff on the car.

Correction!.. Dealer does have it, depending on which dealer you to go...

The one in Santa Monica had one, with the 2.25" badge rather then the 1.75" badge sold by evosport.

It comes with everything, badge and adapter, etc... Price: approx $80

Is the badge at Evosport sells for $80.00 different than the one that Performance Products sells for $39.00? Is the Evosports Badge 1.75 and will it fit down into the hood like the original!

Thuged-out Does this badge fit down in the recessed area on the hood or does it sit on top? Is it 1.75 or 2.25? I have been looking for one thats sits in the recessed area.... Thanks in advance for the info.

GBD i think the badge sits on top of the recessed area cause the diameter of the 2.25" is bigger than the recessed area.
