ero1220 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi all, about a month in to enjoying my 2002 Escalade, grille emblem stolen recently. Culprit(s) left greasy handprints all over the front and clearly my grille emblem put up a fight against whatever tool they were using. Feeling violated. Local dealer wants $230 for new inserts (HAHAHA) and I was wondering if anyone here may be or have a resource for these? I have seen them online for $180+ but I think this is absolutely ridiculous. It's pretty clear that the market is being driven by the sheer number of these I would imagine are stolen all the time. Really gross. Anyway, I'd appreciate if anyone knows of or has the resources to obtain these at a (more) reasonable price point. Also, thanks for letting me vent.

Texas Jim Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Darn, I had no idea the grill emblems were that expensive. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I remember years ago... punks walking around with the Wreath and Crest hood ornaments from Fleetwoods hung around their neck on a chain. Despicable.

ero1220 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks for the responses guys. I investigated custom grills (that might look good sans logo), but I am a little wary of cutting the grill out. I was able to find a gentleman in CA selling an entire grill unit from a platinum edition truck, including the emblem pieces, for a pretty reasonable price. I think I will epoxy this in and seal the edge somehow! Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 The stand up hood crests used to be a high value target. I lost one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
