Ha
Really bugs you doesn't it?
Not a huge issue for me, especially if that badge is another $100, but I may do it. I don't want the amg badge as I don't have an amg.... That's just wrong

I don't think it's a big deal, people have been moding Porsche, MB's, BMW's, etc for a long time, knowledgeable people will know what model a car really is and the others 99.9% of the people in the world won't care. IMO in the end whatever works for the owner is cool, I just like it when it looks right.

Hi Guys, thanks for excellent pictures, and that has inspired me to take the jump. I am a bit confused though. From what I gather, I have narrowed it down to this seller that sells both grille and flat hood emblem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2010-...Q5fAccessories But then there is some reluctance about how well the hood emblem fits, and thus I looked at this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/M-BEN...item3361875720 which sells just the hood emblem. Please assist. Thanks

Thanks BPhilly for the advise. Now, a personal preference question - whether I should go with Black or Chrome. My car is Black/Almond. Personally, I want to get Chrome, but then I am also thinking that the black mesh in the Black one would match really well with the black mesh under the front bumper. I know there is no correct answer, and its all personal preference - yet, I want to hear what you think. See? this is the problem with choices...do you want chocolate or vanilla? lol

Really really pretty.. Do you think a girl can pull this off on her own?
I'm probably going to ask for help from friends.. But it looks really nice I'm very interested in doing it to mine.

For the hood emblem, I found 2 sellers. Both are same on top, but different at bottom. Please suggest which one to go for...

If you can afford a $60K plus automobile, I think you can afford $90...and NO, I have NO affiliation with the ebay seller of the ornament I chose, it simply is the best one I could find.

The ONLY thing I can add about the badge I got is that if you get it and the star is slightly off (I AM slightly OCD) then all you have to do is loosen the allen head on the bottom of the mount and the star in the middle can be turned and adjusted. Then simply tighten up the allen head on the bottom. Simple.

All Chrome great look and it's on order, thanks to kingofire for directing me a paint supplier who provides spray can's (MB 040 Black) so I can/or have my body shop paint the grill back. This should provide a nice look on a dark colored car, thanks again King.
