Hertz fender emblem

The Hertz fender badges need to be replaced on my GT-H also due to the chrome plating flaking off. When I questioned SAI about replacements, they told me to go through the Ford warrantee process.

Gues that's your answer. Though I'm not sure why that would be a Ford Warranty item. Unlike the SGT the car is not sold by Ford. Seems strange. Hertz bought the cars, shipped to SAI, they converted them, then they were resold. Not sure where Ford comes in on this but stranger things have happened!

we bought a GTH at the sale that was missing an emblem. i had to get in touch with SPP and prove that i owned the car. send the pics of the car and do a few things to get the badge. i dont blame them for doing it this way. if will cut down on the cloning.

Just wanted to add an update to the fender badge saga. I emailed Ford warranty regarding this issue and they forwarded my email to both Kieth with SPP and to Doug with SAI. Doug emailed be back stating that the badges are available for $30 each to a valid GT-H owner and I would have to send them the old badges before they would send the new ones.

 

He also stated that the 07 badges differ a little from the 06 badges.

 

Quote: "The 07 emblem is slightly different from the 06. The 06 has black between the ribs of the background of the HERTZ letters; the emblems that I have are all chromed plastic."

Bryan,

You may be able to enlighten the Ford folks a little! I just had this conversation with John Walker at Shelby two weeks ago while I was at SEMA. The '06 coupe prototype (in the SAI museum) has a Hertz badge with black between the ribs, but that is the only one made that way. From experience I can tell you that all of the production '06 badges I have seen (40+ cars) are all chrome. I'm not sure about the '07 badges, but I believe they are the same as the '06 badges.

Per a discussion I had with the folks at Shelby a month back, all GT-H replacement parts (badges, stripes, etc) can be purchased through Shelby Performance Parts. For GT-H items listed above you will need to prove ownership and may be required to send the part back to them. I was told they had a limited stock of Hertz badges.

 

From experience I can tell you that all badging on the -H cars are pinned, even the Shelby letters out back. SAI went away from pinned badging after our car.

A question for MM. When you had the missing Hertz fender emblem was there any holes in the fender for the pin type fender emblem. Thanks.

 

 

There will be holes in the Fender, because it started as a Mustang GT, which has a pinned emblem. The Cal Special is the base for the S-GT, so no GT emblem, no holes.
