To clarify, I call these "Chrome Badges" because they look like chrome. However, truth be known, the mirror-like finish is a highly polished Aluminum, cast as part of the entire core mount of the original upright star.
All three style badges are available.

These Polished badges are a custom-order, side business, made only when requested. In contrast, my other badges remain available, and I carry stock of these at all times...

People still ask me for the White Star Flat Badge with the deeper relief background in the tristar insert.
Everyone should be assured that I sell ONLY this deeper style, the "Current Production" example shown in the picture below... I ran out of the "Original," flatter tristar inserts years ago.
WHITE STAR Flat Badge #524 is the next to be sold.

Here are a few pictures showing how my badges sit within the hood divot, flush with the top of the hood. Compare these with the OEM, 2-1/2" SLK badge that sits on top of the hood...

I have the original prototype left of the Polished Flat Badge. Shown below, it is unfinished, so that either the WHITE STAR, or AMG insert can be put in place. Buyer to choose which stlye they want. Once this badge is sold, I do not plan to make any more. This means there will be less than ten of these on the planet.
Anyone interested in this last of its breed should click on this link DFWdude@tx.rr.com to inquire ASAP. First come first served.

The CLS Coupe already has it's own flat badge. My badges are too small.
The polished chrome badge prototype sold within hours.
There are 539 White Stars in circulation.
There are 80 AMG Badges in circulation.

This has been discussed several times... People can customize my badge all they want, but I don't. The inserts come from a factory already painted WHITE, and I'm not equipped to change it.

Thanks for the post. Glad you like my work...
People continue to ask whether I have my badges "in stock." I manufacture 10 at a time, and make a trip to the dealer for parts when I have just a couple badges left.
So I am generally never caught without badges for sale. This allows me to process and ship orders within 24 hours (sometimes sooner) as I promise.
Just answering the question...

I continue to get questions about whether I can create multiple color replacements for the blue Laurel Wreath in my badges. It's been a while since I explained this -- or it wasn't clear -- so here goes...
To accomodate the special White Star or AMG insert in my badges, I remove the upright star and mill away the mount for it -- the area inside the Blue Laurel Wreath surroud. That's all. The blue Laurel Wreath surround that comes from the factory is not touched.
Hence, I cannot change the color of the Laurel Wreath, since there is no need to do so. Nor am I equipped (with parts or silk screen skills) to replace the surround with another ring of a different color.
Hopefully this picture will explain it fully...
