Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics Cool variation on old mod

Hey all,
This is an improvement (I think) over the standard "svt badge over blacked out ford oval" mod. Instead of painting the oval black, I used black reflector tape, the kind sometimes sold for motorcyclists for nighttime safety. It is also the same sort of stuff that's on many running shoes. The tape is black, unless one happens to be at the correct angle, and then it lights up bright silver. Looks great at night. I'll try to get some pics up later.

Here it is, flash used at night lights it up well.

Looking good lindston! Clever idea, will we see it for ourselves at Ford Fest at Bandimere this weekend?

I did a similar mod awhile ago, but used this stuff called "blackout tape" and its used to cover up unwanted chrome trim. I then ordered the small SVT emblem from the mid 90's Cobra/Lightnings and placed it in there FWIW, I did the same to the front and its still holding up!
