I'm thinking along the same lines. People know a Mustang when they see one. Nobody's going to mistake it for a Volkswagen. It's just like when someone puts one of those big banners across the top of their windshield that says "MUSTANG". "No! REALLY?!! You're kidding me!!! I never would've guessed this was a Mustang!!!!"

If someone doesn't know what kind of car you are driving, what good are they?

Tell them to go back into the library and stop reading science fiction books and instead try reading an issue of Road & Track.

I was shooting for a more '68 look. The car has quarter window louvres now also.

I like what I like and the hell with others opinion.

Oh, I'm 68 so I really am insulated against opinions of others.

Or you know, I must advice against over accessorizing, you can only do so many exterior mods before people start asking what you're overcompensating for.

I'm kind of surprised. I like the letters on IkeMike and the bumpers on Dennis. I wouldn't have thought so. As always, do what you like.

I am with Pascal on this one. The trunk lid letters could look nice and blend in conservatively with the rest of the car, so long as the letters are not huge and gawdy.

For me, persoanlly, I miss the rear lid 5.0 emblem that the classic Foxes used to have. I actually thought about buying a 3rd but smaller 5.0 emblem and sticking that to my truck lid.
