The Pony seems to be going the same direction as the one on my front grill and license plate.

Did you spray paint the door panel black and then spray the Pony logo in blue?

I wanted a darker black so i went with a gloss black and a global blue insert. No i had the inside painted blue already, but took the panels off to touch up some areas. I printed out the pony on google then just took my exacto knife and cute the stencil out and tape it to the middle after i got done prepping and then just painted the door a bit blacker and just took the stencil off when everything was dry. And ya it is the same direction as the grill. Pony head to the left is the correct way. Passenger door is the same

I was thinking of taking the doors to a local upholstery shop and having the inside panel done with the leather like the GTs have. Thinking of having the pony in blue stiching. Either this pony or the tri bar

But.... when you put pony's on the side of the car, inside or out, they should point to the front,,,, The one on the grill is fine for the passenger door, but on the drivers door it needs to be reversed to point to the front...
