I should get them this week.
@Scrming,
I got my last running pony emblems from the shop you reccomended, they came with the pins. Because I didn't want to drill or deal with cutting the pins off and finding a way to stick them on, my son took them and made a Mustang display out of them. Turned out pretty cool.

wrx's will own is stock in the quarter...they run 14.4's and can launch like a bat out of hell if it is done right.

So wait...he wouldnt drive a v6 over the GT because it has a smaller engine...but he would drive a wrx which has an even smaller engine than both? ANYWAY, i have to agree with scrming about the posers... I want people to know they just got beat by a v6!

I agree with making your V6 faster, but when I see or hear someone talking about getting the grill and foglights from a V8, that's crossing the line. I'd rather be supprised by a V6 (obvious appearance) with a turbo, than see a "V8" (really a 6) and get let down. IMO, it gives the GT's a bad name.

I don't give a rip about what you think. I knew the day I drove my vert off the lot that I would be putting the GT grille in it, I never did like the plain grille of the V6. Some people like it better than the GT grille, so it's really personal preference. I thought the GT grille was awesome, and the 6 grille boring, so I did something about it. But hey, if someone wants to put GT emblems, fascia & grille on their 6, more power to them. It's their car, who am I to judge what they do to it? I've seen some GTs with giant wings on the back and lambo doors that made me want to hurl, but I bite my lip. If they're happy with it then I'm not going to bring them down.

C'mon Tres, don't sugar coat it! Tell us how you really feel, hehehehehe
I tend to agree with what you said. We often forget that when someone mods their car it is their money, their preference, their car.
But it all boils down to personal opinion. I really don't like fake badges, ie Cobra badges on non Cobra's etc. Again, it is just conjecture.

I am still in search of the perfect emblems, looking for some retro running horse emblems.

Now that he has been exposed , he doesnt even have the guts to post back . IF i want them to know its a 6 i just roll down the window and tell em , after i beat their asses. And if i lose , still roll down the window and tell em its an auto 6 , should see the look on some faces thinking that they just beat a v8, jeje. In my opinion you give the GTs a bad name by being such an ^%#$^%, lol.

??...people have been modding out, tricking out, pimping out their rides since the model 'A lol.. 4 bangers, 6'ers, 8's, hell even VW's lol. It's a matter of self expression and people do it because they enjoy it, not to mention it's extremely addictive. Don't even sweat that dude. I haven't even done any performance mods to mine, a K&N drop-in thats it, and that was really for the 2 to 3 mpg better I'm getting with it. People do tend to snub they're noses when you say its a 6, but thats kind of funny to me. My hot rodding days are behind me, and i think when some of the bashers start paying their own insurance (car payment too probably) they won't be so quick to bash.
now... who was looking for emblems? I surfed into california mustang or one of those sites that sales all the vintage mustang parts looking for the same thing, i want the "f o r d" for my hood and "m u s t a n g" for the trunk, but anyway, their emblems are now sticky backed instead of the old type that used the "tabs". look around, shouldn't be too hard to find.
I also wanted to mention my first car, which was a 67 coupe 289 3 speed. I put used Keystone Classics (rims) on it and used to get ragged on because they weren't Craigers. They were cool to me though, They were 14's too lol, but that was the stock size back in the day. Had traction bars too, remember those! I'll post a pic of it one day, it weren't real purdy, but it would fly!
