problem solved...

Man I love it, where can you find this at?

KEY08

That's crazy. Neat idea, but the receiver bed is kind of bulky. If the hood was modified in such a way that it sat down flush that would be cool. Unfortunately, that would be cost prohibitive, but I could see a custom shop maybe doing something like that. Thanks for sharing!

Does it light up?

With a voice over and different music, that video could be a Viagra commercial.

I needed that laugh after a week of sh**t. Thanks!

This is amazing.

I would also like to know more about this and where to buy.

beejAMG

I actually like it, but yeah the base is a bit bulky. I was thinking maybe i could paint the base body color to make it less noticeable. But yeah, its cool. I can see it on dbldpr's white merc. James bond style.

Double stars is never a good look. IMO.

dbldpr

When I have about $340 to waste I will probably buy one. My flat emblem on hood is recessed. I do not know how I would like it above the surface?

beejAMG

Never been

thefisch

When you do, see if you can tie it into the air horn so it sounds whenever the star is raising. It needs a sound effect.

dbldpr

How about a trumpet sound when it goes up and down

thefisch

Yes, some regal fanfare!

dbldpr

Contacted person selling the star emblem to ask how it is actually hooked up to electric on the hood. All I got back was it is easy to do. Must be a language barrier. Without knowing exactly how it is connected to the electric in the car I cannot purchase it. Has anyone out there actually put one of these in? If you have installed one of these can you explain how it was installed. Thanks

beejAMG

lol

im wondering about that too. but hey, if the guys says it easy...

dbldpr

One mans easy can be another mans nightmare. I asked them if they could send me a copy of the instructions and diagram. I will be able to tell right away if it is easy. Looks like only one Guy in spain sell this unit. He says it is Mercedes Benz authorized part specially made for him? We will see

beejAMG

yeah thats what it says on his ad but i highly doubt it. although quality looks alright.

dbldpr

Will see if they get back to me. Hopefully they will. In the mean time I have received a hood star for the car but I am waiting on the tool to install it

beejAMG

shoudl be easy, just grab a long nose pliers, from under the bonnet, simply twist and its off.

dbldpr

I saw on youtube I guy used a normal set of pliers and did it. I bought a $13 plastic tool on ebay from some foreign country that is made to do the job. It is supposed to be here by tuesday or friday. I am in no hurry to do it so I will wait for the tool. For my flat emblem on the hood you have to squeeze the spring with your fingers or use a needle nose plier. Went out to the garage today and took my recording chip to view. When I put it back in I adjusted the settings so you can hear more. Always tinkering my wife said I need to get a job but I have not worked since 1995. I do not want to work I just want to tinker.

beejAMG

lol! i wish i can tell my mrs the same! i dont wanna work i just wanna tinker!

dbldpr

will let you know if the seller gets back to me with the info

I agree with you. The double star on the hood and on the grill is really tacky.

The idea is similar to what Rolls Royce has with their retractable hood ornament.
