Default Custom Trunk Emblem

So I think I am going to get a custom trunk emblem made from billetbadges.com. I have had a couple of threads talking about this (and some of you are probably saying "Shut up and just do it already!" lol) but I think I am going to ditch the "Mosstang" nickname and go with something more bada$$... I was inspired by the Saleen "Dark Horse" Mustang and created a few mock-ups in this 3D software called Maya... I like #5 the best but I just thought you guys might wanna check it out and give me some input...

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

I like #5 also but I think the red white and blue kinda clash a little bit with the rest of it, So #2 is my fav

Where is this going to go? I'm having a hard time picturing it.

And, if you don't mind me asking, how much is this going to cost? Seems like a cool custom mod.

I actually like the original #5 w/o the slanted ends.

I don't know exactly how much its going to be but their prices seem pretty fair... I am in the process of blacking out my rear end and getting a GT500 spoiler and GT/CS rear bumper but I was thinking here... ?

I like either number 5 or 2 best. But if you're putting it on the back of a black car and the emblem is all black you're going to have a hard time seeing it. Have you tried one making the lettering a really dark gray, like #4?

Well I was envisioning the emblem face to be flat black and all the engraved lettering and lines to be glossy so it kinda sticks out through the flat black color...

I am a fan of your skill with the mock ups and the direction you are going. But I am not a fan of putting the phrase "Dark Horse" on your car.

But....it is your car.

That being said, I like the last one with the red white blue in the middle.
