I've been thinking about the same thing. Although back in the late sixties the CS did have a mustang badge below the side stripe, it might be too much on the side maybe decals on the hood.

Slap a nice aftermarket exhaust on it, that will announce the presence of the 5.0 in a much more authoritative manner.

Yeah I think it is FAIL of Ford to put the GT/CS where the 5.0 goes. I would not order that package SPECIFICALLY for that reason. I would want my 5.0 badge. The 5.0 badge is an American icon and should be proudly displayed on every 5.0 car now that the engine is back.

I agree.
If you must put them on it, make it a matching design decal that goes behind the front wheel well on the rocker panel like the '68-'70 Pontiac's.

That's what I did. I am intrigued by pascals idea of a hood emblem. I might look into that.

I just ordered these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2011-...Q5fAccessories

Not sure if I will actually put them on but for $10 I figured I'd check them out. They are actually aluminum and not just stickers.

I was thinking more of a small decal on both side of the hood bulge...

Any chrome badge would look like **** imo, but a black one would look cool.

What about placing it in the grille opposite of the tri bar? If I had to have one that's where I'd put it, but I'm more in the less is more camp and if you really want to know then ask or keep guessing.
