Of what could have gotten damaged on the front of the car, I'm glad it was the Cadillac Heritage emblem. Much better then a head light but if it was the fog light it would have given me an excuse to change over to the STS fog/DRL's, oh well.
Since this is a CTS-V I'm not sure that the emblem can be removed and if it can is there a replacment available?
If there isn't, my company has a machine shop so I might make a modified V logo to take it's place. I will make it out of SST so worst case the rock might scratch it! A little extra weight but not enough to matter.
Any help would be appreciated on this one. - Thanks

You should make one out of false gems. That'd be neat. |

Yup, mine took a rock about a year ago, too ... gotta crack right across the center of it.
Usually, there's a guy on eBay that's got 'em for sale for about fifty clams ... too much IMHO. I just checked before posting this, and I don't see it now. Maybe he'll have them again.

What is SST? Supersonic Transport? Space Surveillance Telescope?
They sell replacement grills on ebay for $250. If you can make it look better for cheaper, then go for it. Liberal use of LEDs on the emblem would be interestiong as long as it didnt look too ghetto

GMpartsdirect.com and other websites like E & G Classics sell just the crest and wreath emblem. The emblem is held on with a special adhesive that you heat up with a hair dryer to get off. Just replace the emblem, not the whole grill. |

SST = Stainless Steel
Wasn't planning on replacing the grill but was concidering a custom emblem.
Thank you for the info on how to remove the emblem and were to find one. |
