I'd be interested in a discrete factory looking emblem like this. Some of you may have seen the "membership" badges for Overland Bound. They are nicely made metal emblems, discreet and are attached with 3M adhesive backing. Might be a good way to go so an individual could place it wherever he liked best on the truck.
Perhaps a base model, something like circle with graphic and extending rectangle with 100k, and then you can add more rectangle pieces, 200k, 300k, etc. Sorry crappy quick msPaint pic.
I would only buy a metal badge if I know it won't rust/corrode. Otherwise I have to find a place inside to put it. A 100kMile badge should still look good after another 100k miles.

Chrome plated plastic is OK if it is done right. The problem is getting it done right...I only know of one company in the US with good capability for this in mass production.
Aluminum is OK, but still has problems if not painted right.
Stainless is better.
Something contained completely in clear 2-part polyurethane(with UV resistance) would be best.
Are there rules for these in Mercedes land? Like how do you address engine swaps? I know it's kinda silly, but purists are purists for a reason. Also, if it wasn't apparent, I'd buy one if it looked good. I'm at 266,000 miles today, so maybe a 300,000?
I'm making these but if I were to go hardcore then A) I wouldn't sell enough to recover costs and B) I couldn't even wear one cuz I'm on my second motor and second rebuild

Here to revive a old thread...I recently started making these if they're of interest to anyone. These are domed and go on via adhesive on the back....But they also come off without peeling anything. Im not sure how to upload a video from my phone, but I do have one of me peeling one off since some people asked to see. Im asking $10ea for the badges, goes all the way to 500k. I went with what I felt was a OEM style. Best way to contact me for one is via email at ToyotaHighMileageClub@gmail.com
