I just changed my grill to a 7.5 inch MB star and looking for a MB hood pin. Know any sites that sell them?

Thanks

Not a site ... you need to send an email to amgbadge@yahoo.com with an inquiry. The *good ones* are $150 and worth it. He is the exclusive US seller (according to him).

You can get them on ebay for really cheap deals..
Try your luck-

Don't buy the ones on ebay - complete waste of money - they look horrible after a year (the plastic dome yellows).

Here ... take your pick -

$150 enameled solid brass ............. or ............... $40 solid cr@p

wow, big difference, thanks for the advice!

No problem. The one on the left was photographed by someone who put it on a piece of wood so it looks like brass ... actually the metal base is silver-chrome, not brass-like.

"outacre" sells a decent one on ebay as well....about $60. Metal. Laser cut and no cheapie acrylic. I bought mine from him (black and silver finish, not the mulit-colored one).

The $150 one is very nice too....

Chappy: For those of us who are not ebay aficianados how do I find "outacre" for that hood emblem?

Chappy

Go to the main page and click on "search". There is an option to do a "seller search"....then just type in the name.

I checked this morning....it doesn't look like he has anything for sale right now. You just have to check back periodically. Usually, I just type in "AMG" and search on that....15-16 pages of stuff normally come up. Then just browse.

FWIW, I bought my first item on ebay just a few months ago, so I'm still a newbie there

There are also other international sites to search (German ebay is one of my favorites). Again, just type in AMG and lots of hits come back.

I was at the dealership and was looking at some accessories there and I saw a hood pin which seemed bigger than the stock one but was only $13

Mr. Xristo

Here is a photo of mine.

I believe Mr. Xristo sells them himself.

I know of other parties that sell them too. All for about the same price. PM me for more info.

Just for clarification, the badge is made of heavy chrome-plated brass. It is NOT enamel (which chips) but epoxy color-filled which is much more durable and long-lasting. The cost is $149, payable via PayPal. The price includes USPS Priority mail along with all mounting hardware. If interested, e-mail me at mdonati@interserv.com

Mr. Xristo

Yikes.. mine are from $69 - $85.

Buy quality, cry once.

This might be a naive question.
Does anyone have photo instructions? I heard you have to use a plier then twist 90 degree. But, I need more details before I start doing it.

thanks a million.
