hood ornaments and grille stars...

Hood ornaments on Top of Grille stars...what the heck!? Why? Either get it right, or don't. I am a purist and everytime I see some goofball car with a grill star AND a hood ornament it tells me...this person has no understanding of the heritage of the car they are driving or they "think" they are super special. Retarded. Tell your friends and do some research. The Mercedes is not a Honda, and thankfully there are no "mercedes" windshield banners out yet..hopefully. 🤦‍♂️ Have some class you.

Triggered?

Given what I see a lot of people doing to their Benz cars on this forum, a double star arrangement is one of the least "lack of understanding of the heritage" things I can imagine. The W204 grille is easily swappable, but that is not the case for all of the lineup (the facelift W212 grille is riveted to the bumper). So some people want the star on the hood to see from inside the car. No, it doesn't necessarily look right.. but its not nearly as offensive as some of these modded cars on here.
