GT500 conversion grille emblem options

ebe · 09-04-2009, 10:42 AM

I am considering my options on the grille emblem. It is screaming for a snake but I am resisting for the moment. I was thinking of doing an SVT theme and put SVT emblems on the fenders. But then what do I do with the grille? With the honeycomb grille I don't think double sided tape would hold up. I don't think I want to use glue. Open for suggestions.....

if you do a snake on the grill, you're going to have to replace the other remaining other 3 (2 fenders & 1 trunk). others have installed a pony emblem that looks really nice, but ultimately you have to decide what you want...I don't think I've personally seen the SVT on our body style yet??

Go with no badges

Put the pony over tri-bar on there. They look good if you get the right size (though I don't know off the top of my head which size that is).

I personally like the clean black look without any badges.

Apologies to all, but I put the snakes on. The faux gas cap is the plain snake version that ford racing sells. ( I guess they want somebody to buy it. ) My local dealer was more than happy to sell me everything I needed. My car does not say GT500 anywhere nor does it have shelby anywhere. The side stripes are solid. Funny thing, when I was at the dealer a couple days ago, a salesman thought it was a real one. Dead obvious to me without the shelby and GT500 labeling that it is not a real one. Also the GT spoiler sticks out like a sore thumb as well as the GT bumper. I pointed out the differences and he said "oh, I didn't know the difference".

As for adding power, I don't take the car to the track, and the local police seem hell bent in giving me tickets the way it sits now.....

The Snake emblems are cool, but as others here have expressed many times before, unless you have the power too, it's giving a lot folks (including Ricers) that you are driving a car that packs hp.
It would be like me putting GT emblems on my V6 or worse a Snake.....but hey, it's your car and you have to live with it.

Even if I had the power it still wouldn't be a gt500. I have a friend that runs the 1/4 mile in the 12 second range in a Subaru. I could care less that he is much faster than me. I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do love the look of my car though.
