What is out there to replace the Star emblem on the hood to flat like the CLS?
I am not a big fan of the MB star on the hood, do you guys know if there is an alternative out there to have it look like the CLS without that eblem poping up???

Again, personal taste. I think it looks much more sporty and exotic without the star sticking up.

Having the 3 pointed star on the front of your bonnet is one of the very best things about owning a Merc saloon/sedan. If you want a Merc without, buy a CL coupe, a CLS or a CLK, or a Mercedes sports car but the saloons/sedans get the 3 pointer and long may that remain so.

The best saloon car in the world is meant to look refined, elegant, majestic, stately, grand, opulent, luxurious and swish but not like a sports car.

KKilo,
If you don't like the hood ornament, why get an MB that came with one.
Come on now.

Lorinser has a grille for the S550 coming
The car must not have Distronic Plus to fit this grille. Pic shows full Lorinser front end. The grille is supposed to retail for around $1000.00 Chrome finish only. You will also have to buy a Laurel badge to replace the hole left by the Star. The Laurel badge from a dealer is about $40.00.
We will have the Lorinser grille's available when they begin distributing them in the USA. Release dates from Lorinser are not always set in stone but we should have them available by Septemer.
Thank you, our Performance Manager here, Michael Marsillio can order for you.
