Diablo New Grill Badge
Diablo is excited to announce the opportunity to purchase a high-quality, limited-production Official Diablo New Grill Badge!
As the accompanying photo demonstrates, the exceptional finish and detailed construction make this badge a stunning addition to your vehicle or an esteemed centerpiece in any grill badge collection for years to come.
This is a strictly limited production run of only 100 units, and there is no guarantee of future production. A waitlist option will be available on the Eventbrite page after the initial sale in the event of a potential future run.
Due to the limited quantity, we anticipate these will sell out quickly. The Diablo Grill Badge will go on sale from Friday, October 2nd at 12:00 pm up to Saturday, October 31st at 11:59 pm. The Diablo Grill Badge is priced at $45.00 per badge and limited to one badge per customer / Eventbrite account!
To facilitate distribution, the Grill Badge will be shipped directly to your address. The $45.00 price includes shipping and handling. We will start shipping the Grill Badges at the end of October.
While we've designed the badge for easy mounting, the ultimate responsibility for its secure installation on your vehicle rests with the owner. Diablo PCA and Fabrice Di Meglio cannot be held accountable for any issues that may arise during or after the installation process.
