have any of you noticed weird spotting on the steering wheel pony badge? i thought they were blemishes i could polish out but the spots are not technically above the surface. Feedback on this eye-sore issue is very welcome.

 

I have the same thing on my 2006

 

My 06 has a little, but unless you are really looking it is not noticeable. Plus, there is a gash right in the middle of mine where the person who owned it before me screwed it up.

 

Same with mine. Well, when I had a center cap. I need a new one now.

 

my '05 has a little of it, not enough to really notice. I do not know of a way to fix it though.

 

Same issue here on my 05. That's weird maybe it's imported lol.

 

wow... this is pretty widespread. can these badges be safely popped off? for replacement?

 

Yeah they come right out, they're just a piece of aluminum. I tried to buy a replacement at the Ford Dealer and apparently they don't sell just the center cap, you have to buy the whole airbag assembly...I don't know about that. Maybe there's a place that sells custom replacements?

 

You have the uncommon "Apaloosa Option"!

Tomorrow morning I will be scrutinizing mine

 

My Pony has blemishes, but not the vertical silver on the tribar.
I painted the pony with bright silver testors model paint.
