Dear all...

One of the things I like about Mercedes is the 3 pointed star on the hood. And I was wondering... classes like SL, SLK, CL, etc etc... don't have the star on the hood... is it possible to get on installed? Would it look good.

I only imagine that it would look fantastic!

Your ideas?

My idea is that Mercedes employs the world's best stylists.

If they think it won't look good, it won't.

I for one am glad that my CLS doesn't have the hood symbol.

Generally, people go the other way -- removing the hood ornament for the sportier coupe look. Coupes have the star incorporated in the grill design. A small star on top of a large star gives the front end a very odd look, in my opinion. You normally see this when sedan owners install a coupe grille and leave the hood ornament. I've never heard of a coupe owner adding a hood ornament, but it would create the same duplication of a design element that's meant to be a single focal point. Of course you could also swap the grill for a sedan grill, but why would you want to do that?

That said, it's your car. If you like stars, have at it.
