RE: Cobra badges on a GT
I guess on my GT350 I should change those decals, its not a 350 nor does it make 350HP. And now its a 347 motor so I need those emblems and it makes around 400hp, so I guess I now have to find GT400+ decals, what a pain thats going to be to find!

leave whatever sticker from the factory on. if ya change them, then ya change them. its not a big deal to me. its kool if ya put a 331 or 347 emblum on the side if ya want. i want mine stock lookin so i keep the stock gt emblum. if ya put a big v-tec emblum on ur stang...then theres a problem.

You were right to call him out. Next thing you know people will be putting Z-71 or Powerstroke emblems on their cars.

That's a huge differance. He's not claiming he's driving a cobra by purchasing that hood. Putting cobra/gt500/shelby/saleen badges on a V6 or a GT is RICE. It's exactly the same as putting a vtec/nawz sticker on a car that doesn't have vtech or nitrous. Or putting a 5.0/GT badge on a V6 mustang. It's called RICE!
Body kits are ok. Just don't change your emblems to claim you have something you don't

If you haven't noticed, most of the people here modify their car in one way or another. Your hood doesn't look OEM to me and I don't like it.Should I stop you on the street to tell you how gay it looks to me?

And if we wasn't trying so hard to be a dick, he might have found out that the '84 had a few mods to justify the miniscule hp difference between a GT and the cobra...wouldn't take much.
No wonder fox owners have such a rep for being asshats.
Wasn't talking to you philthy89fifty.

RE: Cobra badges on a GT
I personally take offence to losers putting cobra badges on their GT's. I spent good money so I could say i have a Cobra...
Then some random person asks me... "Is that a real cobra, or just another fake!" GOD that pisses me off!

RE: Cobra badges on a GT
you should take it as a compliment that they think so highly of your cobra they would spend the 20 bucks to try to pass theirs off as one. anyone who knows a little about these cars can tell a real from a fake. guys who have real shelby cobras don't get mad when people buy those replicas because it drives the price of the real ones up.

RE: Cobra badges on a GT
so wait... I'm an asshat ricer because I want to put the '86 saleen kit on my t-top after I convert it to a 5.0 and complete the supporting mods... (8.8, subframes, suspension etc...) now note, I'l be running 5.0 badges and not have a single emblem that reads "Saleen"
