SVT emblem in the Ford ovals mod:
-(2) SVT emblems from the mid 90's Cobra/Lightnings. Call Bill Jenkins and expect to pay about $35.00 for the pair of emblems
- some blackout tape (found at PepBoys) or wide electrical tape or even vinyl. Price will vary here, but its CEG cheap
- grown thumbnail to trim out the excess blackout tape, trust me it works, I did it
This mods gives your car that "factory look" and makes many people wonder "what kind of car is that?" When combined with the pre-98 sail panels, theres no name or make of the car, the ultimate de-badging
For the front, its easier to just remove the emblem. Once you do that, clean the area with some rubbing alcohol (spelling
) Then, apply the blackout tape over the entire emblem. Next, follow the "contour" of the oval with your thumnail and pull off the extra material. Now you've got a black oval ready for the SVT emblem. Just remove the backing from the emblem and apply to black oval...BAM!, your done.
Now the rear oval is a bit tricky because of the "contour" of the oval, but it still works. Follow the above steps, but when it comes to applying the emblem, just bend it a bit before you apply it. Maybe a hair dryer will help soften it up. Even if you don't do this, the emblem becomes flat enough and looks good.
Heres a pic of what it looks like in the front
As far as the pic of the rear, well, I don't have a real good pic, so you'll just have to trust me when I say it looks good (I have good taste
) And NO, I can't take a pic of it now as I've had the Mystique center reflector/tailights for 3 years
