Default Grille Emblem

Anyone have any suggestions for grille emblems. Hope to win some money soon and want to buy a grille emblem for the coupe before birmingham. I was thinking either a Cobra or a Tri-bar pony. Could also do a painted pony.

Also thinking about taking off my tri-bars on the fenders and putting Cobras on them since I do have the GT200 stripes.

How about a chrome pony for the grille? That always looks nice.

I have a chrome and red corral on it now. Just thought about doing something different.

I kind of like what you have now. Its just a subtle variation. I haven't seen anyone else that has theirs done like yours.

I'll be honest with you, if I saw Cobra emblems on an I6 I'd laugh. The I6 is fine, but it's no Cobra, so don't advertise as such. That said, I do like your current grille setup, if you want to change anything I'd say feel free to find fender badges from another year you like as long as they aren't Shelby or Cobra ones.

My car is a hybrid of parts from several Mustangs. If only the grill emblem was different, it would look weird, like a mistake. If you already have other cosmetic mods on the car, it will fit in better.

The 69 plain black grill with the 3-bar pony mounted on the driver's side is a cool look. It would make any gen 1 stang very distinctive. The 68 honeycomb grill with the 69 emblem would make a nice match on a 67 or 68.

The cobra emblems will show up soon enough. Just have to wait until after the turbo setup. If I could get a set of the turbocharged emblems I would put them on instead.

I ended up ordering a fender gripper from AM yesterday instead of getting an emblem.

Ehh. May as well put a SS454 badge on it, it's just as far from the truth.
