Last time I checked, hood stars from Mercedes were about $25 - $30. If they're now made in Turkey, I would hope the quality is equal to original, but these days, who knows. So many brand-names are outsourcing now. I've seen Bosch parts made in Austrailia, Singapore, India, Spain, Brazil or Mexico. So far I've had more problems with parts that aren't OE brands - like those Lemforder tie-rod ends and that aftermarket star I got for about $12.
Happy Motoring, Mark
