Nevada Jack: I like your wheels......could you tell me if they are AMG and what size they are. I would like to replace the standard 17" alloy wheels on my 2003 E500 with some other 17" MB alloy wheels so I don't have to buy another set of tires since I just replaced the original Continentals with new Pirelli tires a few months ago.

Now that picture posting has been restored to the forums, I'm hoping some of you who have recently gotten badges for your W211s will post pictures. There are a few colors not covered, yet.

Wow, call the doctor, we have a case of tunnel vision... Not to throw rocks, but look around... 3/4 of the entire Mercedes-Benz line does NOT display the upright star, as delivered from the factory, including many of the most "exclusive" cars:
CL-Class
CLS-Class
CLK-Class
SL-Class
SLK-Class
ML/M-Class
G-Class
R-Class
SLR-McLaren
In contrast, there are just a few with upright stars:
S-Class
E-Class
C-Class
So, I think the upright hood star is no longer a "tradition." Mercedes-Benz is ensuring that all by themselves.
I like both the upright star and DFWdude's White Star Badge, and swap between them whenever the mood hits me.

The "star" is MBZ
In my opinion the upright star looks the best on sedans.
The star in the grill looks best the way intended, on sports models
For those of you who do deface/change the ornament, keep the original as the next buyer may not share your taste.

I was going through my statistics over the weekend, and realized that about 25% of drivers with my WHITE STAR Flat Badge are E-Class owners. So, this is a shameless bump to remind you that I have resumed production of my WHITE STAR Flat Badge. For information, please contact me at DFWdude@tx.rr.com.

Thought I'd share the stats of WHITE STAR Flat Badges located outside the US...
Australia = 4
Canada = 4
UK = 3
Singapore = 2
New Zealand = 1
South Korea = 1
Germany = 1
I'm not able to ship outside the US anymore, so this will not change in the forseeable future.

Thanks for the photos of your '07. I wasn't sure how The White Star Badge would look with the new grill. Now I know. IMO it's too much like the grill medallion. Too bad as I really like the the quality and execution.

The star on the top of the grille looks tacky. I wonder if it is removable? Could it be held in place with double-sided tape like the trunk emblems? If so, just "de-badge" it with dental floss...

However, the grill for the 2007 E Class also has the grill badge but I am sure there will be others that don't. Then the combination should be nice.
Performance Products also has one listed:

It looks like it may not have the grill badge but the price is quite a bit more.

It is nice to have an option of the raised star vs. flat badge (especially if I decide to ever take the car to a car wash) and it only takes about a minute to swap them. Rob does great work and the quality is excellent.

On the S Class I don't think it is possible. The shield is curved and fits into a indentation in the grille itself making it almost flush with the surface of the grille. I would assume the same is true for the E or any other new model where they have placed the shield on the grille.

When people purchase this item, I have no idea whether they like the double badge look, or whether they intend to replace the OEM grille with an aftermarket grille that wouldn't have the badge in the grille, like irishstout. Certainly, the 2.25" plastic SLK flat badge would be even more "overkill" than the WHITE STAR Flat Badge.
