Another issue is they lead to the possibility that you might add a large wing or a large exhaust tip as well. Luckily, you noticed it in time and only have some paint damage.

Bingo

I was joking around. Anyone can do anything they want to their car. Everyone has different opinions. If they like it, it shouldn't matter what other people think!

3M emblem tape (if not already on the emblem) or clear silicone. With the silicone, masking tape to hold it inplace until it sets. Looks like a trip to the local body shop for some paint work. Some lessons are cheap, some aren't.

A close friend said both bumpers and fenders for 350 all painted. I think i will take that up.

it sucks when you try to make something, something its not. it sucks even more when you mess it up too!

WI5.0GT · February 4th, 2009, 11:50 AM

i have a 1991 lx convertible with a 95 cobra motor in it. so i stuck emblems on mine.

BORDEN · February 4th, 2009, 12:53 PM

lol i wasn't going to say anything..

BORDEN · February 4th, 2009, 01:09 PM

i had no problem with tha emblems being on there......but atleast get em right

95StangMX · February 4th, 2009, 02:38 PM

Thats the way they are supposed to go on there.....its a nobra not a cobra....the cobra has them facing the other way....LOL...sorry about it bro but you need to take them off and color sand and buff the fenders or maybe even paint them and then put them back on the right sides of the car with 3m double sided tape. My car had cobra emblems and floormats when I bought it and I took it off. Mainly cause I repainted the whole car and took off all the emblems and moldings and probably gonna put 347 fender badges on it. Hope i get them the right way or it will say 743....

95StangMX · February 4th, 2009, 03:27 PM

we all have those kinda days, but seriously try wetsanding and buffing it before you paint it. It looks like its sitting on top of your paint and not etched into it.....or is it?
