Dealer wanted $49 for God Head emblem

[MonsterD]

is that normal, or is there anywhere that gives us discounts.
if not, I will have to make my own.
Are they metal or are they plastic. if they are plastic, I can make identical copies.

Please someone let me know...if they are plastic, I can start popping them out in the morning.:flamer: :flamer: :flamer:

You found a dealer that makes emblems for the grille/trunk?!?!

I think the custom ones made by members here are plastic. If that's the case, someone get this guy one! I WANT SOME!

The godshead used at the wheel hub is plastic, but has a thin metal covering that gives it the premium polished look.

I paid $32 for dealer replacement center caps. :up:

[LincMercLover]

Oh... Just the centercaps? Well poo... :(

[scherermaddness]

We Really need to find someone to make god head caps that can be put onto the trunk... something like what the 96 impala ss has:pimp:

MonsterD if your talking about the center cap for the wheels then i paid $27. If you are looking at using them to do the custom front rear badge custom retrofit then I would suggest you look into getting other ones made from your guy. Hundreds of members would want a set also. But if its to replace your center cap then you'll need to buy there's because of the housing.

My Dad ran the model shop for Mattel Toys for something like 30 years, so what I wanted to do was have him make up some plastic ones that I can put into the badge like what the other guys did.....but I didnt want to pay the $50 each. So today, I will take one of them off the wheel, and have him make a mold for it. From there we can put it in the badge, and we can probably make another mold of it then, and get the finished product. He said that would be really easy, but that chroming them afterwards would be expensive. I want mine black so its not a problem.

MonsterD: Sounds like a good idea. Keep me posted onm the progress. I would be intersted in these.
