I know a few have done this, but just wanted to share some details I learned!

I went to a junk yard this past weekend and hoped to find something to cover the hood ornament hole on the '95 RMW. Just wanted a smoother look (and it will look nicer with the front bumper I'm going with) Sorry about my grille too. I have plans to fix it up as well!

Found two I liked. The one on the top is from a '01 LeSabre and the one on the bottom is from a '96 Park Ave.

Removing the hood ornament is straight forward...just undo the large nut at the bottom Smile

This is the '01 LeSabre badge (I didn't clean the bottom so it's not flush..that plastic tab is not in the way too, goes right in the hole)

Here is the '96 Park Ave one.

I like the one on the right. The black outline makes the tri-shield pop off a little better.

I noticed the Park Avenue shield didn't have a tab on the back. How did you attach it?

I like the look of the "smoothie" ornament. Where are you guys getting these though?

As far as the Dead Thread comment, that is what this forum is for...it's my How-To Encyclopedia.

Like seeing threads arise from the dead!

I actually ended up getting a badge from one of those new Buick SUV's. It's just black and chrome but should look nice with the black and white look I'm going for. I'll try to post some pics when I get it and my "new" grille put on...
