Re: The DINAN Badge

>> I got rear ended and the body shop misplaced the badge, so I went to 
Dinan for a new one.  Since everyone there knows me, I didn't need to 
show receipts or have them inspect the car for there stuff, but it was 
still $120 for the parts and labor to installit. 

The cool thing about this setup is that if you see a Dinan badge on a 
car, 90% of the time, it really has a bunch of Dinan stuff on it.  
Unlike ACS or Racing Dynamics who simply sell there badges for a price 
(I think a RD badge is like $100), Dinan badges rarely make it onto 
other cars.  If you see a Dinan badge for sale, I would value them at 
about $300, since otherwise you need to spend $3000.

Up to this point I thought Dinan's marketing strategy was greatly 
flawed, but now I'm speechless.
