Dare I ask

How much it costs to replace the front Acura emblem?

Mine got cracked in half, and I have a feeling this tiny plastic emblem is going to cost a ridiculous amount through the dealer. Anyone know how much it is, and if there are any aftermarket alternatives?

I would use the glue if I could find the top half that got cracked off.



So I asked my dealer about fixing this, and I was told that the emblem is part of the grill, and therefore the entire grill will need to be replaced. He said its about an hour of labour to do all this and I'm looking at about $120.

Can someone confirm that just the emblem can be replaced? Is this something I can easily do myself?

From the diagram in the link posted above, it seems the dealer is trying to rip you off. *OMG Nobody saw that coming!!*

You can order the grill in its entirety ($128 list price, USD), or just the individual components (emblem being $17.xx USD, also guaranteed to be order-able through the parts department at a dealership in Canada w/ the same part number).
