MB Hood Emblem
Just wondering why so many people take off the Mercedes Benz Hood emblem? Does it mean you have worked the car? Does the replacement emblem come part of a package? Or does it just look plain "cooler" without it..

I think that the flat MB emblem looks much sportier than the "gunsight" star. Combining that with pre-painted lenses, to replace the stock orange sidemarkers, is a great low cost aesthetic upgrade.

When I saw the traditional vertical hood MB STAR on the racing CLK-DTM, I was convinced, that it belongs on my hood as originally designed by the first-class CLK design team for the 208 series.

Why flat hood emblem?
I just got one for my CLK 320 for three reasons, none of which is earthshaking:
1. I think the car looks a little sportier with it; I've always associated the upright emblem with stodgy MB sedans.
2. The upright emblem is a target for petty vandals.
3. The upright emblem snags on my car cover.
