I reused my GT faux gas gap when I painted it and it worked out just fine.
The fact that people are letting you know of what is to come with these badges has nothing to do with our maturity level but rather experiences we've seen at swaps/shows/meets. While I think you're right that your car looks better than most shelby's it's still a mis-representation of a brand in a community of purists (ie Mustang enthusiasts).

Looks good man I like the badge. It absolutely reflects on the persons maturity level, I mentioned I already read the hating threads and to save it but a person still feels the need to go on and flame they are 1 opinionated and 2 immature. My experience at shows is that guys who act like that are douche bags that I dont want around my car anyway. Maybe its a good way to weed out the idiots from the nice enthusiasts.
Like I said I love shelbys and the brand but I will never say a car like mellow yellows ride is misrepresenting the brand, you know why? Because to the average guy walking by he is representing the brand better than a stock GT500. You want to know what the worst representation of the brand is? Go look up a dodge shelby charger.

LOL at the Dodge shelby charger!!!! Why would they ever do that!?
When it comes down to it, as long as you're happy with your choice that's all that matters. My comments soley came down to warnings of bs to come. I can see your point of the maturity issue when you put it that way. Hopefully you're not including me in that crowd. In the end you're driving a much nicer stang than most people that will give you flack about the badging anyway! lol

lol idk what shelby was thinking in those days.
I know your comments were more warnings rather than bashing so I dont put you in that crowd. In fact most real mustang enthusiasts are rather nice people but the cheaper these cars become the more young crowd they attract and in turn the more bashing that comes around. Thanks for the compliments man, enjoy your ride.

Nevermind the naysaying man. Your car, your money. You wouldn't believe the number of purists I've pissed off with what I've done to my Bullitt
yep, it's relatively nice in the forums at first when you have a new car version. Their too expensive for most of the younger crowd, so you get to avoid alot of the BS. As the line ages, the overall maturity level drops. This section of MF was a pretty good area for a few years, but lately it's just degenerated.
I saw this happen here on MF back in the day when I had my SN95 and my New Edge. And can see it happening now here in the S197 area.
luckily alot of good guys are still here in the forums

You hit the nail on the head. Good luck with your car and ignoring the idiots.

Wait, nobody talks crap about Mellows or Cutterwolf's cars(both sweet rides). Both have Snakes. Yeah I know the general public probably think they are GT500's. If he had a GT500 clone with his mods, nobody would be saying ****. Bottom line, let the haters hate.
