My favorite part of my car is driving it and staring down the hood at the ornament, a constant reminder that I MADE ITTTTTT =) Not sure why anyone would want to rip that off, but hey, to each his own.

For some people, looking down that hood at the gunsight reminds them of grandpa's Cadillac. There are a significant number of others who prefer the less ostentatious look. It is for this group that this thread is intended.
As noted, to each his own.

Here are some more pictures of the AMG Flat Badge. At this date there are only 61 of these in circulation on the planet, so they would make a very unique customization for your beast.

Interesting idea. Yes, I could, and have thought about it myself. To date, I haven't, as I don't keep the fully chromed Tristars in stock. It would have to be a special order, based on when I need to drive to the dealership to buy the regular OEM tristars. Thanks for asking.

Happy New Year to all.
As I write this, there are 514 WHITE STAR Flat Badges and a scant 65 AMG Flat Badges in circulation worldwide. Still an exclusive way to customize your Mercedes, regardless of which badge you choose.
Let's start off the new year with some new pictures, please?

Going forward...
With the purchase of either a WHITE STAR Flat Badge or an AMG Flat Badge, and I will throw in the chromed upright tristar that is removed from the OEM Mercedes upright hood ornament in order to make your Flat badge.
Use this star in several ways. Below are some ideas...

From time to time, I've gotten requests for WHITE STAR Flat Badges or AMG Flat Badges with the blue laurel wreath done in black, mostly from people with black cars.
In addition, there are some with the newer sedans sporting the blue badge in the upper grille (such as the W212) who prefer to avoid the "double badge look."
While changing the color on badge inserts already made is not in the cards, I thought this all chrome style might work, instead as a third option among my custom flat badges.
So, what do you think?
The core of this badge is made from an S-Class part (#221-880-0086), not the blue laurel wreath cores from the W210 E-Class part (#210-880-0186). So the S-Class part will cost $10 more to buy from the dealer, which means the finished badge will cost $10 more than my previous work. So keep that in mind.
If any of you are interested in this new, Chrome Flat Badge, please click on this link DFWdude@tx.rr.com to let me know and I will put you on a list. At this time I am only gauging interest in this style and have not decided to actually make examples for sale.

Others wanted to rip the star off my hood (2 different thwarted attempts).
Now with the flat badge, I am safe from this kind of vandalism.
I like the look of the star as well, just not the risk of a damaged hole in my hood!
