Lee, can you show the rest of the car please? it looks very well accessorised. I like the front lip and the rims. The grille looks great, but I'll still want the three pointed star there, blackened, of course.

Why do many of you remove the hat rack in favor of a flat emblem? I don't understand.

This car looks badass though. My white car could never look intimidating.

I think it's cleaner looking, plus I don't feel the need to have "crosshairs" on the hood

It's a must IMO.

i'd have to second that, def a must. adding the flat hood badge seems to make the car more aggressive. a cleaner look, too, IMO.

But I hang the dear carcass from the rope tied to the hood ornament when I come home from hunting.

How do y'all get your kills home with nowhere to tie the rope????

I sent to cali for sandblasting, then primer and paint. Sandblast is the only way you can do it sucessfully IMO.

I don't know...a white grill might have the opposite effect. It might make us look like rolling pillows!

I'd have to see a pic.

Peter's car is sweeeeeet! If my car was black i'd do the same thing...however, i just don't think painting mine silver to match would have the same effect.

"Why do many of you remove the hat rack in favor of a flat emblem? I don't understand. "
rbrenton88,
jmo, i agree with this myself. the mb hood ornament will never leave my car. maybe we should run a poll on it. i havent looked, perhaps one's already been done.

If you want to give your MB a sporty look usually they replace the star ornament with flat hood emblem.I change mine to flat hood,It s a matter of choice..
