Is there a hood emblem that doesn't turn yellow?
I've had two already and they both have turned yellow within a few months. Is there any one that DOESN'T turn yellow?

If I were you I'd go to ebay and get one that's metal. That's what I did, and I love it

I have a custom black hood badge that's visible day and night because of the material it's made out of. Never ever seen any other Benz with this one. I have one on my CL and another on the side in case I start customizing another Black Benz


Really heavy and amazing quality as well. You really see this thing at night

$40 for a aftermarket piece of aluminum is insane... especially cuz it's made in china

I bought one from DFWDude, a sponsor on the forum. It is very high quality, and I have had it on my car for about 2 years.
