"de-badging"
some call it "de-badging" - basically, removing most or all signifying items from the exterior...
was thinking of a mild de-badge on my 2006, namely, the front pony emblem and side graphic. as for the side graphic, cannot decide what to do with it...
as a reference, here's a current pic:
and here's a terrible "chop" image showing the side graphic as one solid bar and the front pony removed:
...
so for the side graphic, i think my options are:
1) a solid bar, as in the lame chop image, or
2) two skinny bars, ie: remove the "mustang" lettering and just have the front/rear skinny bars continue across the lower door, or
3) remove it entirely.
what say ye?
thanks for any input/advice.

RE: "de-badging"
wow - hey now - was offline for a bit and didn't really expect the very nice chops - thank you very much!
i agree - the door moulding needs to go.
i like the look of the shaved front plate; not so much into the shaved side mirrors - i kinda like them as is, tho maybe smaller/sportier would be alright.
and the 2 stripe decal - yes - i like it better than the single thick stripe.
pony removal is in order.
and maybe a front tubular grille set (not shiny/billet, but flat black).
window tint.
sorta aggressive looking and monochromatic (rather, just black & white), and anyone who doesn't know what it is might wonder, is what i'm after.
i think that'll do it, for exterior appearances...
btw - new here - thanks again for the nice chop image work - really is appreciated. just bought this '06 a few weeks ago - my first mustang (last 2 cars were SAAB and Volvo). almost bought a different car and saw this one on the lot and said - hmm - THAT is a nice looking auto. drove it and i was immediately hooked - it just felt right. the last car i had anything close to this was a 1967 firebird (close to - as in - "american muscle"), and that was some years ago...
anyway - loving my new ride thus far. meep meep!
