Would someone please give me all the details on how to either, 1) replace those ridiculous "waterfall" badges on hood/trunk; or
2) remove them all together (preferable).
Where/how are you folks getting the "God's head" badges and how are they installed? Sure would like to simply remove them without major expense and/or screwing up the grille/trunk. Thanks in advance!

drkknight196: Not to be funny but you can do search under gods head badges and come up with a wealth of info.
Good luck

I made contact with a "Ron Buis" who quoted me a price of $150 for front and rear badges PLUS a minimum of $10 shipping. Doesn't that sound a little high? Maybe they're made out of sterling silver ..........

Stop your sobbing. He does excellent work and he is an honorable guy.

If I am not mistaken, the parts cost him about $50.00 or so. The rest is his labor charge. Why isn't the guy entitled to make a few bucks for his labor and effort?

I have the front and rear godsheads, and Ron does excellent work. WORTH EVERY PENNY! really sets off the car just right. from what i've read, and using a dremel kit in the past, doing this must be one PAIN IN THE A$$ and i would charge alot more that $150.

If you like the God's Head badges, the ones on Martyo's MM look super. They look like factory install.

OK fine ............ had no idea he made them by hand. For some reason I was thinking someone had a die made and they were mass-produced. Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me!

I wouldn't be surprised if the parts cost him more than $50

Just about everything is hand made to date. Even Kenny Brown had to start somewhere and Dennis is still working on goodies.

The '03 Marauder===a work in progress:P :D :)

Either get them from Ron or make them yourself, but do it. It just makes the car.

Remember...Ron's in Canada.
If it seems expensive, check your bank for the exhange rate.

There is a thread running on it in the other forum.
Looking was having trouble getting a Marauder front grille badge, but I think Crusetaker now has one for him.
With those he can get the pattern maker going.
Hopefully Looking will check in

Looking has checked in.
A sacrifical front badge is on its way to me. Hopefully I will be able to get this going soon.
