Default For the dash??

I was reading another thread on the Shelby Signature.... and got me thinking!

Now seeing that my car was not produced as a Roush Car, I built it from a GT Premium, all work carried out in the UK. However, I have a Stage 2 Roush Engine upgrade, with the Roush Suspension package.... would it be out of place to have the dash plaque that states the Stage 2 conversion?

http://www.race-mart.com/items/produ...2-A-detail.htm

Do you think that this would suit the car or make me look like a "wanna be a Roush" car??

Thanks for your input! (If I do decide on getting it.... center dash or Above Glove box??)

No offense Elmo but what the heck is it with you always wondering what others will think of you or your car. You are always worried if people think you are a wannabe Roush this or that. I learned a long time ago to do things to make me happy. I don't give a rat's behind what others will think. If it makes you happy to have a Roush car, then go for it. You have my blessings. Again, no offense intended, but dude, loosen up and have fun with YOUR car! If you like the plaque, GET IT!

Chronos love the input and no offense taken! Normally I go ahead and do pretty much whatever I want to on my car and generally it comes out good!

There have only been a couple of times that I have asked for advice on some upgrades, this being one of them! I have always had a passion for American cars and had this Mustang in the UK (where I'm from ) and brought it over to the States when I moved here, but I just don't want to put something on it that would make it look completely out of place. As an extreme example, I just don't want it to look like I have put a ricer Whale Tail on my car which would obviously look out of place! (Which of course I would never do!)

I'm still learning everyday and have put loads of hours and money into this Mustang which is my pride and joy. Just don't want to F it up on something as little as this!

Personally I like it!

I would say the plaque fits perfect. Your car is a gt converted partially into a roush
