Default TRUNK LETTERS YES OR NO? PLEASE ADVISE

yesterday i had a tread about the new look of my car and really would like to thank you for all your great reactions.
But my car has no sign of MUSTANG on the car , and in The Netherlands you see rarely a mustang and I am really proud of my car .
So do you guys think it will look cool to put trunk letters on my car ?

Please look at the last pages you can find the rear of my car ,i want to put chrome letters on the black stripes

No

Tacky in my opinion. Don't guild the Lilly

I think a black rear medallion would look good though

I think you'll get a variety of answers on this one, leaning mostly no.

But for my input, I wouldn't do it. I did like back on the new age bumpers when the "Mustang" was simply some shallowly impacted lettering. But I think the silver Mustang badging would be a little much, definitely tacky if you ask me. Plus you already have a lot going on with your car in terms of mods and aesthetics, I wouldn't add more to it.

for the chrome letters, i vote no.
bc i think it is a little too much, too busy.
but i think something more subtle would look ok.
maybe a little 3rd brake light sticker

^ +1 if you need something that says Mustang I would do that.
But your car so if you like it go for it.

I have to agree with most.....I think with the stripes and Ducktail, it would be on the borderline of being tacky.
Do you have chrome GT emblems on the sides? You could switch it out with a script one saying Mustang.....it would be different.

Check out this website....very good prices;

yeah, def. no letters. I think its really easy to go overboard with that kind of thing and with your car i think that'd be going a little too far.

I'm not a fan of the letters. I do have a 3rd brake light decal that lights up as mustang though.
