Sudguy4 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hey T.S., I'm looking to buy the center emblem for my 2008 GT500 steering wheel....my car is now a daily driver, and over time and wear, will accumulate small scuffs and scratches.... I would like to buy an emblem or two now, if they aren't too expense,to replace when mine begins to look aged. Does anyone have some for sale? I've already talked to Ford, and they don't sell it individually...you have to buy the entire air bag assembly at $900+ dollars....no thanks. I appreciate any help in my search. Thanks, Sudguy4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Sudguy4 Yeah, I went down this road about 8 months ago. Tried to find emblem and was told the same thing. I have yet to find just the emblem. Let me know if you find them, I would buy a couple as well. QSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 As far as I know its the whole assembly. I wanted to purchase just the cover (with emblem) but no can do. I've seen the bags on ebay for less than the dealer but being used the chances are the emblem will have scratches. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Sudguy, Could you cover it with a piece of clear bra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradona Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 WOW !! $900 plus ?? I show retail at $685. I know that's still high for just an emblem but Damn, sounds like your dealer is REALLY ripping off their customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done business with them for over 10 years, and I'm in good with the parts guys. I'm not saying that it may be less expensive at other dealers, but this is the cheapest they can get the ASSEMBLY for...... I appreciate those who have commented...looks like it's something that will have to wait 15-20 years down the road when it's time to refinish the entire wheel after 200k+ of daily driver miles. I'll bump my thread just a time or two more to see if anyone knows of any other outlets for a "new" emblem, but I may be out of luck for now. -Sudguy4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudguy4 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm not getting into a debate over who is selling these airbag assemblies cheapest. I could care less. All I need is the emblem. If anyone has an emblem for sale, or a link to someone who does, I would appreciate it. -Sudguy4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudguy4 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Is there a need for what? Correcting misinformation? Gradona, There is nothing to correct. All I posted was what my dealer told me. Beyond that, I have NO contol over their books to know how much mark-up is actually in there. Reinforcing my first point, it is meaningless to me how much an actually assembly costs because I would never pay that amount, or even your "corrected" amount for the assembly. All I want is an emblem, which is going to be hard to come by. Sudguy4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musclebeach13 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 True that.....definately the best way to go & cheap on top of that!! hello, i took mine apart there are 6 tabs that hold it to air bag. The bad news is no one will sell just the emblem because of " lawsuits" because its part of air bag assembly if not in right it could hit u in the face or what not. Best bet is to find a good used one or buy new,or get a clear sticker to put over it. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
