Hood Star

I am soooo used to having the star on top of the hood. Do you think it would look tacky if I added one?

Yes, definitely. I think the front is far too sleek to add the ornament. The old body lent itself b/c the lines were boxier. It would stand out way too much. My 2 cents...

If not bother, ask the technician to put one on your hood
check it and makeup your mind. IMO
use double side tape to make it a quick demo.

Lexus RX300...but not for long!
Thumbs down ...while you are at it...

I vote TACKY!

While you are at it, you could also add flame decals to the sides and put neon lights underneath...and maybe a "chain" license plate frame...

Why the hell on earth would you want 2 stars on a Mercedes? Isn't one enough? Do you put 2 firebirds on a trans am? 2 bmw emblems on a beamer?

You make no sense! In fact, the grill star looks 1 million times better than the hood star!

But of course, I can't tell you what to do. If you like it so much, then why ask, just do it. But don't say I didn't warn you when people start laughing.

Likuid5 is right, why don't you place some leopard cloth on the interior and some sticker in the back, my child is a birchwood booster, put the whole word MERCEDES on the windshield at the top and spraypaint the emblems GOLD.

Thank you all for your "opinions" (even the "smart ***" ones).
There will be no hood ornament.
Regards,
Charles

Or how about making your CLK badge fake too, add a zero to the end of it and make it a CLK 5000. Nobody else has a CLK 5000. You could be way cool.

The hood ornament would look fantastic if the grill was just a plain grill without the existing star in it. Have two giant stars up front though, is well, tacky . This is why the flat hood emblem goes well with the CL style grill.
