Does anyone have a source for the colored badges for the front grill (with camera) and the small emblem on the right side of the Platinum tailgate plaquard.


I want them to be color matched to the Platinum white tricoat paint. No more blue for me...

Are these the same emblems from previous models? Like the 9.5", or are these new for this year?

How difficult are these to switch out? I don't want to damage my Platinum grill or tailgate plaquard.

Wouldn't recommend them. Every badge he's done so far has peeled.

Peter Pal,

So what sizes are the badges? I asked Brent and he didn't know. He said he could get them though. What was the process off taking the old one apart?

Any other recommendations? If Brents peel, I'd love another option...

Thanks

Yup. Don't do business. I'll post pics of mine when I get a chance. Not only that but when they peel and flake off he won't do anything about it. Told me mine were "out of the warranty period"
What a joke

I use to work doing vinyl signs/decals and whatnot. I'm sure he's using vinyl. Vinyl will fade and start to peel/crack in the sun after some time, but it should be lasting at least 3 or 4 years.

This link will be informative. When you get to the last pages you'll find the complaints. The emblems are 9-1/2" and I personally did not take them off. The body shop was doing the grille and bumper so I just gave the emblems to them. If I remember the front has posts, and a nut and the rear has post and adhesive. The front grille has to be taken off. Mine look awesome and for the quality of the craftsmanship only time will tell. There are many people who have used Brent and have no issues even after a year+.

He claims they use ppg clear coat, so I assumed it was paint.

No idea on cost but they look top notch. This is who I'm going with.

Wrong. He's painting. Albeit poorly.
