After you get the new star, make sure to connect 10,000 volt electrodes to the back of it (just wire a direct connection to the car's coil packs) so as to prevent theft. If your talking about the star on the hood, use a whetstone to sharpen the edges until razor sharp. Polish it too, so its tempting. (Just kidding) Good luck, I know how it is, someone stole the chrome door handle strips off mine at a mall.
