I like that grille.
I'm thinking about doing one on my car.
First I'll see how the original grille looks with the flat AMG badg.

DFWdude

lunarx, thanks for your order last evening. It left in today's mail...

DFWdude

Going forward...

With the purchase of either a WHITE STAR Flat Badge or an AMG Flat Badge, and I will throw in the chromed upright tristar that is removed from the OEM Mercedes upright hood ornament in order to make your Flat badge.

Use this star in several ways. Below are some ideas...

Got the AMG Flat Badge.
Very quick shipping!
Beautifull product!

Have you ever considered painting the AMG background blue (like perimiter), or White (like Star Badge) so the AMG letters stand out more?

If you can do that, I'll buy another one.

DFWdude

I leave them in chrome so that owners can paint them any color they want. Not hard to do, but harder to maintain. So my badges come in a durable chrome background.

AMG Flat Badge serial #70 is the next to be sold.

Awesome looking badge!

Nothing beats a perfect fit and 10 sec install (excluding open and close hood).

DFWdude

Indeed. It takes longer to reach down to the hood release in the cockpit and then get out of the car.

Thanks for the kind words.

DFWdude

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.

In addition, there are some with the newer sedans sporting the blue badge in the upper grille (like the W212) who prefer to avoid the "double badge look."

While changing the color on badge inserts already made is not in the cards, I thought this all chrome style might work, instead as a third option among my custom flat badges.

So, 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.

DFWdude

I have a list of folks who want these Chrome based badges, so I will make a few on special request only.

lunarx

I think it looks better with the stock grille.
I'll be ordering an AMG Chrome Badge.

DFWdude

Thanks Ernie, I'll look forward to serving you at your convenience.

To clarify, I call these "Chrome Badges" because they look like chrome. However, truth be known, the mirror-like finish is a highly polished Aluminum, cast as part of the entire core mount of the original upright star.

All three style badges are available.

DFWdude

These Polished badges are a custom-order, side business, made only when requested. In contrast, my other badges remain available, and I carry stock of these at all times...

If you want an AMG Flat Badge serial-numbered below #75, now is your time to contact me at DFWdude@tx.rr.com

People still ask me for the White Star Flat Badge with the deeper relief background in the tristar insert.

Everyone should be assured that I sell ONLY this deeper style, the "Current Production" example shown in the picture below... I ran out of the "Original," flatter tristar inserts years ago.

WHITE STAR Flat Badge #524 is the next to be sold.

[IMG][/IMG]here is a pic of my new E63, I installed the flat badge while the car was still at the dealership in their delivery bay, a bunch of salesman were starring at me with confused looks on their faces, also I want to mention the excellent customer service I received from DFWdude (Rob) the fast shipping and the oem like quality of the product, will probably get the AMG one too[IMG][/IMG]

DFWdude

Thanks areuv!

DFWdude

Here are a few pictures showing how my badges sit within the hood divot, flush with the top of the hood. Compare these with the OEM, 2-1/2" SLK badge that sits on top of the hood...

LOLZ @ custom order. Aren't all these made in China, anyway?

DFWdude

Um, I make these in the Dallas TX, area, from Genuine German Mercedes Parts... And I'm not Chinese, not that that would be a bad thing.

As for custom... well, I'm the only one on the planet who makes these particular badges, and there are less than 540 WHITE STARs and less than 90 AMG Badges circulating worldwide.
