F-O-R-D Letters on Hood
When I added an Edelbrock E-force supercharger to my 2010 GT, I wanted to add just a little something to visually tweak the car. It's already a beautiful car so I didn't want to ruin that in any way, but in my mind the only thing missing was a call-back to the 1960's. So I installed 1965-66 "F-O-R-D" hood letters.
I used a Dremel to cut the pins off the letters and grind the posts flat. Then affixed with 3M 2-way acrylic bonding tape (cut with an X-acto knife), using a cloth tape measure and painter's tape to guide the positioning and alignment.
A "Supercharged" badge is from a Saleen:
The Edlebrock E-force supercharger kit, rated at 466 RWHP at 5 PSI of boost with standard exhaust. I have the Magnaflow Magnapack exhaust installed and it sounds sick:

Also, just a heads up that the 466HP rating is at the crank and is NOT rear wheel HP. Most of these base kits are putting down ~395RWHP/TQ. With a custom dyno tune (since the canned tune sucked), my base kit is at 422RWHP.
