Got it from a website in Japan. I've posted the links before, but the mods don't like them so I'm not going to post again. Check your PM.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PM the link.
It that Flat Hood badge a screw on type?? I saw the back piece, so i think so. Also, is it brass and 3d, or is it like a decal??
VERY HOT!!!!
I need the back star, too.
No stinking badges for me, though.

Do a google search on 'aoyama-pitin' and you should find a google english translated version of the link.

Not to change the subject too much, but if I remeber correctly, they are the OEM ones painted. No group buy really needed. Just buy some and have them painted.
One thing I wonder about is how well the finish will hold up? Assuming the chrome coating was not removed or scuffed, I wonder if the black will chip off. Any long term users have a comment on it?

I did the same to mine but I removed all the emblems and painted them. I replaced the hood star with a flat emblem after the those pictures were taking.

No it isn't. Heat them up (sunny day even) and use dental floss and then wax. It takes me 15 minutes on each new Benz. The Star in the rear needs to be broken off. Also, I'd get new emblems as it is a ***** to line them back up and add the tape correctly. Most I know that did it just bought new emblems and painted them.
