well, I ordered the lightining bolts from that nissan. They will be modified though. We'll see if they look any good and then I'll decide if they go on..

Such as the Shelby reference. I did consider those emblems at one point.. Well I wanted a '09 but they had become difficult to find in Spring '09..I settled with an '06 and the emblems had crossed my mind but I gave up on that idea.

Absolutely! Even if you don't show your car, I'm sure it would feel really crappy if you have a friend one day that says "Hey, aren't those badges from a different year than yours?" No one likes to look stupid and there is always someone out there that will point out your mistakes or goof ups no matter how small they are. I too like to keep my car as FORD intended it cause I don't want to feel foolish one day. Also, who knows, one day you may get the bug to show it some place and all you need is for a judge to call out some problem with your badges or something. It's like back in the 80's the people that had the Pontiac Fieros and they would change the body panels to make it look like a Ferrari. Looked really fake and really gay. If I didn't have the 09, I wouldn't add the badges even though I agree they are cool looking.

Glad you liked the lightning bolt idea. I had never even heard of that Nissan model, so I doubt anyone will make the connection.

I don't like the Stang lettering one, the running pony tribar, or the V8 lettering, or the engine size ones, nor the Powered by ford rectangle..
I've searched the forums and spent ****less hours on Google image looking for ideas and can't find anything that sparks an interest.

I want to see what " different " ideas some of you guys came up with.

One idea I had but I can't find anyone for the life of me find it nor find anyone that offers any for sale.

I would love a pony that either has it's hind legs kickin, or standing on its hind legs..
I'm willing to even paint this black and put it on but it looks a bit overdone..

anyways help me out here.

you'll have to forgive me for asking, but why is the car in the shop getting painted? everything alright?

At some pont I wanna get badges made with the logo in my sig. You should come up with a custom logo based around your cars theme.

I like the black skull ALOT...I want it were can i get it? anyone else have this already?...Mellow that looks good and the lighting bolt will look good on your ride python. What did the first shop do to mess up your paint? I have some places I am not happy with as well and could see this being me in the future with the repaint!
