I have the original prototype left of the Polished Flat Badge. Shown below, it is unfinished, so that either the WHITE STAR, or AMG insert can be put in place. Buyer to choose which stlye they want. Once this badge is sold, I do not plan to make any more. This means there will be less than ten of these on the planet.
Anyone interested in this last of its breed should click on this link DFWdude@tx.rr.com to inquire ASAP. First come first served.

People continue to ask whether I have my badges "in stock." I manufacture 10 at a time, and make a trip to the dealer for parts when I have just a couple badges left.
So I am generally never caught without badges for sale. This allows me to process and ship orders within 24 hours (sometimes sooner) as I promise.
Just answering the question...

I continue to get questions about whether I can create multiple color replacements for the blue Laurel Wreath in my badges. It's been a while since I explained this -- or it wasn't clear -- so here goes...
To accomodate the special White Star or AMG insert in my badges, I remove the upright star and mill away the mount for it -- the area inside the Blue Laurel Wreath surroud. That's all. The blue Laurel Wreath surround that comes from the factory is not touched.
Hence, I cannot change the color of the Laurel Wreath, since there is no need to do so. Nor am I equipped (with parts or silk screen skills) to replace the surround with another ring of a different color.
Hopefully this picture will explain it fully...

People continue to ask how "difficult" these badges are to install. It's quite easy... In fact you will spend more time opening the driver's side door, bending down to trip the hood release below the dash, and opening the hood than you will in swapping the factory upright for either of my badges.
It's OK, though, here is review of the procedure in picture form...

Should you want to order one of my badges for the holidays (as a gift for yourself or someone else), I suggest that you contact me so that your order can be placed no later than Monday, Dec. 17. This will ensure that your package is mailled on the 18th for delivery by Dec. 22.
I mail all my badges using USPS Priority Mail, in a Small Flat Rate Box, with delivery in 2-3 business days.
Each year, someone always wants to place an order at the last minute and demand overnight delivery. I can't accomodate these, as I may be travelling and out of touch after Dec. 22.
So, if you want a badge before Christmas, please place your order sometime this coming week, please. Thanks.

Happy New Year everyone. We survived the end of the Mayan Calendar, and the Fiscal Cliff (for the time being). So it's back to business now...

Here's one. On a W204 Sport Sedan. Shows you what it looks like after removing that larger, plastic flat badge.
