Chrome to Blk benz star

Does anyone know where one can source/replace the factory 3 point chrome benz star on the front grill to a black one? The stronger than time edition promo video shows them doing it on the assembly line. Its not an option. Have a 2020 G63 being delivered in a few months, with night pack. Want to get this chrome dealt with.

That option is for g500/550 with g-manufacktur only. But you can just buy the part. Part# A0008177702 9197. There are some online mb part sellers.

Here is the Black Star for the rear, which I just bought to match the one I bought for the front: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333273516535?ul_noapp=true

You can buy just the star or combine it with the emblems.

if you have a 2020 G with night package, it comes with the star in the front and trunk cover in black. i can confirm this because my 2020 G550 night pack has them blacked out.

I know in some countries you can spec a black star or have you got the 'stronger than time'? I dont think any vehicle comes with a black star by just having the 'night package' - I maybe wrong, but that was my thought.

In response to the OP. You already have the star(s) why not just scotch it and paint it/ take it to your local bodyshop to do it?

I agree since I have seen pics of them and they are all chrome. But if you order the option DE9, Night Package Plus, you get the MB Star at front an rear in black (CS1).

Ok, I see.... I’d love to see some pictures as I’m sure everybody else would... I think you maybe correct with the Canada point.... I’m sure somebody else may shed some light.

Regular night pack does not come with black star, I believe the night pack plus will have the front rear star in black.

Anyone find Black star wheel center caps? They come chrome and since I am replacing the front & back ones it would be nice to replace the ones on the wheel to match. I see some on fleaBay but are the ones on the G 75mm?
