RE: Anyone like this idea?
I like the idea of going with a custom badge! Question though, where the hell could you find those?
I also think that badging your car as something it isn't is kind of silly. I have a V6 and I would never badge it as a GT, the same as I would never badge a Focus, a Mustang. Not everyone will know the difference but I would and that's enough to deter me.
The SVT idea would be cool but I think you're beginning down a slippery slope; i.e. once one badges a normal GT as an SVT GT then what's to stop a normal GT being badged as a Roush. Go with custom badging, that sounds amazing!

RE: Anyone like this idea?
ORIGINAL: cegha
Ok guys, so i just kinda had this random idea for a unique look for my car.
Since Ford doesn't have a "cobra" model per se on the S197's, i got to thinking, what about making my own "cobra". Now what they did was kinda take a car designed or whatever by shelby and throw the cobra logo on it, but it's not called a cobra, so they didn't really make a cobra for the S197's.
Now, what do you guys think if i was to put cobra badges on my stang and take off the GT badges. I just want to clarify i do not mean adding GT500 badges to make it look like a shelby, just adding cobras to the car.
I also plan to do some performance mods, so it's not a stock GT but it's not a GT500 (well the power of a GT500). It's like a inbetween, like a custom GT which i would dub the "cobra", line if Ford actually made one for the S197's.
I dunno if yall will understand what im trying to say, i havn't slept all night so this might not make much since.
Anyone think this sounds like a good idea? I don't want to be a poser/fake/rip off/etc, hence i just want the cobra's but nothing that actually says GT500 on it.
