princess Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I want to restore my car to an almost prestine showroom finish. The only faded or worn part of my exterior are the "badging". So I called my local dealership to just get a price on new emblems\badges and was informed that they dont come from the factory gold?Now, I meet the couple who previously owned my car and I really cant see these people going to anyone and saying can you make my emblems gold.... I thought the "gold package" was a Cadillac option? or am I mistaken... if so that poses another question...where to get them? since my dealer only seems to sell the standard silver ones. or is the part dude mistaken?

rockfangd Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Mine is a gold package also. But I do not think anything is available anymore. Mine has all gold wreaths, gold hood ornament, gold grille badge, gold trunk lock surround, gold keys. Love the little touches lol. Good luck with the dealer, if it is over 10 years old they will look at you weird because your car is ancient. Trust me I go through it all the time GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only get my car parts online because I'm so tired of all the annoying "know it all" staff. But then again, who orders new floor mats to a 12 year old car? Have you tried this page? They have many OEM parts. www.gmpartseast.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadillac Jim Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 A lot of little things were left to aftermarket people to support small business and were sold through the dealers. The dealers usually don't carry aftermarket premium accessories for models that aren't on the lot anymore. The parts department may or may not be able to get them, particularly for older cars. An example that I ran across with my car is the premium center covers, with the gold Cadillac wreath and painted Cadillac coat of arms. Cardio Doc on Wheels carries those and may have some of the other items. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Göran W Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I like Ebay and I´ve bought many of the Gold ornaments and extra keys for my Seville there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princess Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 OK, so I shouldnt be to harsh on them in that case because the emblems were probably done just has you stated ...... that does sound better than there confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 The gold ornamentation was not from the factory in most cases - the dealers electroplated the emblems while on the car. I would ask a dealership to see if they still do that. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadillac Jim Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 There is no RPO for aftermarket dealer-installed items. They aren't carried by AC/Delco Parts. The dealers and their parts departments may or may not be able to get old parts from the vendors. If you really want a premium aftermarket, call more than one dealer. Or, send a message to Cardio Doc on Wheels. They may be able to tell you where to get something even if they don't carry it themselves. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Before I paid that, there would have to be some sort of mechanism like the modern Rolls-Royce in which the hood ornament would drop down below the hood. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
