Got a pair of "Power by Ford" badges at Carlisle.

Picture of the car right now:

Been trying to decide how to position them on the fender. But every spot always seems to be plus/minus in my book. Some pictures below. I'm open for suggustions. I kinda like them where they are on the passenger fender. The start of the "power" badge above the last letter in the 24V badge.

Driver Fender, forward bias, lined up on the rear of the 24V badge(Still kinda liking this, but seemed to look awkward from some angles):

Passenager Fender, Leading the 24V badge (Todays idea, but who knows what my mood will lead me to tomorrow)

Its hard not too.. i find my self loosing sleep at night now because of its hidiousnes.

I will give you my stock black hood if you give me those wheels? :D
 
If you're determined to put them on the fenders, then CENTER them over the other badge. Not staggered, not lined up on one edge or the other. The sides of the scoop might not be bad, but don't you already have "Duratec" there? Personally, I say use just one, and put it on the back of the trunk lid, since you've really got every other place used.

Seriously BAD SVT, where have you been to not know about the dirt catcher?
 
Maybe because that is "dirt catcher" 2.0

The old one is just bondo'd under the new one :wink:
 
not sure what a Camaro Z06 is, but back in the day you could get the Camaro with the Vette motors, maybe thats what he is referring to. They had a cowl style hood on them over the regular stock camaro.

all I know is .... 93-97 z28 Camaros Have Lt1's
97-02 z28 Camaros Have LS1's

No ..Zo6 Camaro.... I used to own a 95 Lt1 6 speed.
 
I'd say center them immediately below the 24V DOHC badge. Maybe it's just me, but I think it looks better and more balanced to have the longer badge below the narrower one.


And I figured the ZO6 Camaro thing was a bit of a dig on the scoop on the hood.....you know those guys who have V6 auto Camaro's with big cowl induction hoods that might try and bee cool and put a ZO6 badge on the side of the cowl.
 
I'd put them above the radiator for car shows. Not feeling them on any exterior body panel.
 
If you must go with the hood scoop, go with the smaller one and put the badges on the sides where it said duratec.
