$43 piece of plastic!

i just got back from my dealer because i needed a new Nissan Emblem for my grill... they cost $43!!!

I can afford it, it just blows my mind that they have the ***** to charge $43 for a small piece of plastic. My sister just had work done on her 02 Eclipse and she needed a new emblem and it cost $17, why the huge difference?

Ok I am done crying.

i'll sell mine for $24 and would throw my SE in there for another $8... that's right! while supplies last, you can opt in to buy any letter of the emblem for $4 a peice... (first come first server only)

Pepsiman, nor anyone affiliated, nor anyone not affiliated with Pepsiman or Shift_Pepsi does not claim that the emblems sold by Shift_Pepsi or Pepsiman is better than the emblems sold by other ORGers...

Seriously though, i may not be able to get parts cheaper than DaveB but I can get them cheaper than your average consumer. Here's a list of emblems for the 02 and 03:

Front Grille Emblem $22.48 + shipping to whereever
Center Cap $18.78 + shipping to whereever
Rear Emblem $15.04 + shipping to whereever
"Maxima" Badge $12.43 + shipping to whereever
"GLE" Badge $15.04 + shipping to whereever
"SE" Badge $15.04 + shipping to whereever

It seems sad to me when the you can have six letters of an emblem (Maxima) Cost more than 2!! Enjoy!
