I'll post some this weekend, the top is actually slightly domed with a silver AMG logo on a black background under a small soft clear "dome".

Sounds interesting, looking forward to the pics. Does it look like a plastic piece stuck to the top or a clear cover over the detail directly in the top of the pin?

I'm still working on the pics, I have not taken any good ones that are in focus enough to see the AMG logo. More like a plastic peice on the top, but it does not look stuck on. I'll try new pics with a real camera, sorry for the delay....

Thanks for the update. I had contacted them about the pins and was told they were out but expected more in a few weeks. Our nice days seem to have vanished for a little while anyway.

Two poor quality photos, the top of the pins was not easy to photograph as the flash always caused glare. I hope these help??

Thanks for the pics. I e-mailed them and they said that they were currently out of these. I think that it would look nicer with the logo laser etched in and annodized black. The plastic bubble just makes them look cheap but still better than plain.

I ordered the same pins but they sent me ones with the mercedes benz emblem instead of the AMG one.

Etched would probably look better, I will tell you that the bubble top does not make these look cheap, they actually look really good. They're just not easy to photograph.

Something similar to some of the valve stem covers you can buy with the logo on them would be cool.
