I'm just a stick-in-the-mud and like my upright star, thanks.

Poll: Preferences for a NEW DFWdude Chrome Badge...
From time to time, I've gotten requests for WHITE STAR Flat Badges or AMG Flat Badges with the blue laurel wreath done in black, mostly from people with black cars. While changing the color on badge inserts already made is not in the cards, I thought this all chrome style might work. What do you think?
The core of this badge is made from an S-Class part (#221-880-0086), not the blue laurel wreath cores from the W210 E-Class part (#210-880-0186). So the S-Class part will cost $10 more to buy from the dealer, which means the finished badge will cost $10 more than my previous work. So keep that in mind.
If any of you are interested in this new, Chrome Flat Badge, please click on this link DFWdude@tx.rr.com to let me know and I will put you on a list. At this time I am only gauging interest in this style and have not decided to actually make examples for sale.

Here are some photos taken outside. Difficult to do, because of the glare...

I understand the plain comments, all this is subjective to individual taste. I actually really like it and am considering it for my car(not the amg)and I'm a keep it stock guy, I actually wish I could just remove the flat badge altogether on my sport model, 2 stars that close together??? Just my opinion but think it would look cleaner with nothing on the hood for the sport model, the star on the grille is sufficient no need for another one 2 inches away.
