Ford hood emblems?
Does anyone have the Ford letters on their hood like this 66 Fastback? I think it might look kind of cool on an 06, I checked Auto Badges but they dont have em, anyone know where I can find them?

RE: Ford hood emblems?
word of caution...the hoods of the cars are obviously different. the hoods of the older cars had more of a curvature at the front, allowing more space for the letters. A stock set of Ford letters from a mid-60's mustang will be too tall/big for the front lip of the 05/06's. You could space it up a bit, but that might look a little weird. (owned a 66 before my 05, and already looked at doing this)
Now, the mustang letters on the trunk is a completely different story. That is my next mod.

California Mustang has em, thanks! Thats is a pretty awesome store, gonna have to bookmark that one. I think they may be studded but Ill just have to shave em if they are, theyre pretty cheap so I can afford to buy them and not like them. I dont think they come with tape tho so Ill have to cut that myself I guess.

Yeah good point there, they have wide ones and normal looking ones here, theyre pretty cheap so Ill probably get them any way, put em on and see how they look, and nice idea with the trunk, Ill try that too.
