isnt Black chrome less likely to chip than paint?? The factory are not high quality construction- I just wonder how long paint will adhere to the badges. I like the black chrome but would need the Kompressor badges too.

Vic,

I'm considering ordering the black chrome emblems to replace my V8 kompressor badge and the rear trunk badges. Once get thme, I'll let you know about the quality. The chrome should not chip if it is anodized correctly. I guess I'll be a white mouse for this.

Mine so far has held up just fine. I guess we can wait for KEV to do his black chrome to compare maybe? I will look foward to that...

I like yours, its kind of a flat black approach, but black chrome will be nice too. I have black wheels and a black pano roof (of course) so it will look nice.

Hmmm nice door pins! Are they flush like the Brabus one when in locked position?

And the emblems, did you get them? Got any actual pics of them? I want to get mine in black chrome (versus black paint) so that they are still dark but lighter than the car's color.

PM me about a price on E55 STAR ////AMG emblems and door pins Thanks!
