Olds Emblem......Removable?


Recommended Posts

Posted

The Olds rocket emblem on the front bumper is really gettin in tough shape. About half the red in it is gone, I duno how. I looked on the back and it doesnt appear to be held in with anything from the back. Is this something that I can take out and put a new one in, or is it part of the bumper where Id have to by a new bumper?

im not toally sure but i think its like held on with glue, or like a double sided sticky tape.

Its glued or something. I have a good one laying around somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.

I've taken off the two door emblems that say "cutlass Supreme" on my 88. It came right off and with a little bit of elbow grease the tape came off aswell. You might want to try some wd-40 to get the residue off and then wax it right after.

Glued on. It also has a little nipple that goes into a hole underneath, so if you go to pull off a good one, try not to break it off.

 

Just pry it off carfully...and if you are looking for one, the sedan badges from the front and rear will fit too. :wink:

Yup. I got mine from the rear of a sedan in a j/y a while back. Now where did I put it haha.

yea you can remove them and then just use an adhesive to reapply them. I might have another one laying around I can give you. I'll take a look when I get home today. I got a few of them from John a while back when he sold his cutlass.

yeah, if someone has one let me know, I d hate to think what the dealer would want for such a small piece. Also, how much do you want for it if you have one your willing to part with.

not to hijack or try to steal the emblem from jay, but if anyone has anymore of them ill pay for it since i need one for my trunk!!

I don't have any around, but I might be able to get one from a J/Y next wednesday, so if you don't get a hold of one, let me know.

I had to change mine...really simple...got it from one at the junkyard!

I dunno. I remember paying around $10 shipped for 3 of them. I found 2 of them, but one is going on the front of my cutlass (as one i gorilla glued on there somehow dissapeared a short time ago?!?)

 

One has a small crack on the inside on the very middle I think from how it was removed. I'm leaving to fly out of town this evening. I won't have a chance to take a picture of it before I go to the airport. Lemme try and find the one I can't find from my old trunk pannel, because I know that one looked perfect. As for price...hell I dunno maybe like a dollar or two besides the cost to ship it to you at the most? I'll get back to you about this on Sunday or Monday.

Thanks Mike, thats a big help.

 

I went to OTTO olds, the olds dealer around here, they wanted $22.00 for it and didnt have it in stock which means Id have to pay freight for them to order it in.so roughly about $26.00 for it. the guy told me that and I just said thanks for you time.
