There are removeable hood stars out there. If that doesn't appeal, I've seen a flat badge replacement.

Check with Phil at FastLane -- he can probably get you one.

I bought a removable tri-star several years back and never installed it. If I can find it I'll sell it to you for $5 to cover the cost of shipping & handling. Send a private message.
regards,
Mark

The mercedes stars are cheap. The star's only 25 dollars with the whole assebmly peice. Its usually the damage people do trying to steal it. Like I've had people take a scrapper to the my rear mercedes star...cost 400 to fix small dent and repaint the whole trunk. I wounldn't worry about the star, more so the damage from amatur mercedes star stealers.

My uncle owned a older E class, and he had a theft problem at work. Mercedes actually has the flat coin style mercedes badge which you place in the hood instead and problem solved. He got it from a Mercedes dealer. If you want to try that give your dealer a call.

If you're really worried about it just put a flat badge on the hood. I have only once had the hood star stolen off my car and the kids that stole it got caught and got to spend a night in jail.

Never had a problem. I'd worry more about the damage they do trying to steal it, new stars are only $26 last I bought one.
