Chrome plated tow hitch..

I saw this picture on benzworld.org...does anyone know, who makes these chrome plated tow hitches, and where can I get them from?

Any help appreciated...

Pretty tacky, IMO.

How about this one?

I still haven't decided which way to go...full chrome or just the chrome ring...any opinions?

I'd do neither. The hitch is nothing I'd want to draw attention to, and why do you need more M-B symbols on the car--whou are you trying to impress? If they can't figure it out by the one on the liftgate, it's not worth it.

The MB OEM mud guards have the 3 point star on them too...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts...

By the same logic, neither would I be attracted to some car's mudflaps....then why have the 3 point star on them?

I think, the idea more here is to convey that it is a factory OEM accessory, and not some cheap aftermarket replacement, more than anything...

But, I'll definitely keep your thoughts in mind before deciding on weather to put a 3 point star on the hitch receiver cover...
